Gantt
Introduction
Functions
Gantt is a common type of chart used in project or task management to graphically represent the sequence and duration of a particular project through a list of activities and a time scale. Gantt charts can also be called crosswalk charts and bar charts. It uses a kind of bar chart to show the intrinsic relationship between the project, the progress, and the progress of other time-related systems over time, visually indicating the progress of a program and the gap between progress and the target.
Application Scenarios
Gantt can help managers figure out the remaining tasks of projects and evaluate the work progress. Gantt can also be applied to the data display of various appointment scenarios, for example, meeting room reservations and course reservation status.

Data Sources
Data sources supported by Gantt includes forms from this application, forms from cross applications, and data tables from the data factory in this application.
Field Settings
- Dimension: Dimension is a required field, and you can add 1~ 20 fields.
- Start Time - End Time: They are required fields and you can add one Date&Time field respectively.
- Progress: It is an optional field. You can set one number field. When the value is one, it means the progress is 100%.
Filters
For ongoing tasks, you can use filters to filter out needed data.
Configuring Settings
You can set Data Range, Label Field, and Legend to make the Gantt for optimal reading. Admins can now adjust column widths when editing Gantt charts, and these adjustments will be effective for users upon access.
Access
If Access is set for members in the data source form and Gantt sets Same As Member, members can view, edit, and add data details when they visit the Gantt.
Example
You can create a Gantt to reserve a meeting room.
