Gantt Filtering, Assignees and Element Labels

Gantt filtering stylised featured image

In our latest release we have improved the grid Gantt chart with item assignees, element labels and advanced filtering.

In your Gantt data table, you can now filter your data columns and you now have two new columns of data, assignee and element label:

  • Assigned to shows the team member assigned to each item in the Gantt
  • Element label shows the labels assigned to each element item in the Gantt

Note that at this time, these new columns are data points only and cannot be edited within the Gantt. These will be made editable in an upcoming release.

Filtering the Gantt

Each column of data in your Gantt can now be filtered. These filters can be combined and will apply to the Gantt data table and corresponding chart items. To filter a column, move your cursor over (or touch) the column heading and select the filter button (next to the column sort button). Once selected, this will open the filter for that data type:

Number Contains – Order

This uses a contains match search e.g. contains 2.
