Gantt View
Gantt is one of the views in the Scheduling workspace. It provides a timeline-based visualization of your scheduled projects, displaying them as horizontal bars on a timeline. This view is ideal for understanding project sequences, identifying timeline gaps, and planning resource allocation over extended periods.

The system remembers this preference
The Gantt toolbar lets you group the timeline rows three ways: By Driller , By Status , or By Team . Each group becomes a labeled lane, and bars keep their team or driller color regardless of the grouping you pick. Dragging a bar cascades the following jobs in the same lane when grouping by driller or team; status grouping does not cascade.
