Gantt View

This view is used with data that includes time spans or time increments in the form of start date and end date columns, such as infectious periods, lengths of time in a hospital or other institution, or for resource management. The Gantt chart plots the time span on the X-axis against node (individual) IDs on the Y-axis. The chart enables you to look at one or more time spans for an individual and look for overlaps if desired.

The Gantt chart is initially blank but selecting the Toggle Gantt Settings button opens a menu to add dates that are included in the node list (Fig. 83). Select Add Date and select a start and end date from the drop down menu. If the data has multiple columns for start and end date, you can select Add Date again to add more dates. You can also set colors for each time span.

Changes will be immediately reflected in the displayed Gantt chart (example below)
