Viewing Tasks
Clicking the tool/resource menu "Tasks" link shows a list of available task subprojects for the tool/resource. Click the task subproject name to display a list of tasks for that subproject. You may limit the list of tasks by specifying any of the following:
- Assignee: Any, a particular person, Unassigned.
- Status: Any, Open, Closed.
- Category: Any, a particular category, None.
You may change the order in which the tasks are displayed by changing the Sort On field. You may sort by Task Id, Task Summary, Start Date, End Date (default), and Percent Complete. You may also change between a Summary view (default) and a Detailed view. Be sure to click the "Browse" button to initiate any changes to the task list display.
Clicking on a task summary will open the Task Detail page where you can view more information about the task. Only tool/resource members with task administration privileges may make changes to or close the task.
Viewing a Gantt Chart
Clicking on the "Gantt Chart" link at the top of the page shows all the tasks for the tool/resource on a Gantt chart. A red and yellow striped bar extends from the start date to the end date of each task. Any blue band in the middle of the bar extends from the left to the right based on the percent complete value that is set on the Task Detail page. (There will be no blue band if the task is 0% complete; the blue band will stretch across half of the bar if the task is 50% complete; the blue band will stretch all the way across the bar if the task is 100% complete.)
You may limit the tasks shown by selecting an Assignee, the Status, or a Category. You may modify the look of the Gantt chart by changing the Sort On criterion, the Resolution, and the Size of the chart. Click the Browse button to update the chart with the new criteria.
