Multi-Columnity in Gantt Charts

Available from Version: -

Operating System: Windows

When creating more complex Gantt charts, it can be helpful to add multiple columns to the notes areas or to the phase and row column.

For example, you could add separate columns to display notes, the status and the responsible person.

To do so, you can use tab stops. Follow the following steps:

  1. Click into the title input field in the column you want to add columns to.

  2. Set the alignment to left aligned (Figure 1, “Title Row Formatting”).

  3. Add as many tab stops as columns you want to create. To do so, use the tab key.

  4. Enter the titles for those columns, if required (Figure 1, “Title Row Formatting”).

  1. In the following rows, enter the content for the columns, separating them by the same amount of tab stops (Figure 2, “Notes Area with Columns”).

If the text you enter is too long, it might be necessary to add two tab stops subsequently or to adjust the column width.

When you have finished, the content is displayed according to your set columns.

Note

The alignment setting always applies to the whole column.

Note

The column size is automatically adjusted. Alternatively, you can adjust its size in advance.
