Get started with the Gantt Chart

The Gantt charts in Adobe Workfront provide a visual representation of the timeline of a list of tasks or projects.

In Adobe Workfront, there are two Gantt Charts with similar functionality:

• The task list Gantt Chart: displays information about tasks and their timeline at the project level. A similar Gantt Chart displays information about template tasks at the template level.
• The project list Gantt Chart: displays information about projects and their timeline.

Although they look and feel similar, the functionality of each one is different.

Considerations about the Gantt Chart

• You can edit information in the following Gantt Chart:
  • A task list
• You cannot edit information in the following Gantt Charts:

• There is no Gantt Chart option for a list of templates.
• You can configure what information displays on both the task list Gantt Chart and the project list Gantt Chart.
• You cannot configure the colors or the fonts in which the Gantt chart information is displayed.
• When information is updated from tasks, it is automatically reflected in both the task list Gantt Chart and the project list Gantt Chart.
• When information is updated from the template tasks, it is automatically reflected in the template task list Gantt Chart.
