Project Gantt Chart Portlet

Overview

Use this portlet to quickly view the status of projects and review its milestones.

The table on the left side of the portlet lists projects that meet the portfolio, project code value, or project filter criteria specified in the dashboard's Filter by field. In the table, you can expand the project rows to display a list of each project's start and finish milestone activities. You can filter the milestones that display in the portlet by selecting an activity code filter.

The Gantt chart on the right side of the portlet displays a bar for each project, which represents the span between the Project Planned Start and Scheduled Finish dates of the project. The blue section of each project bar indicates current progress, while the green section of each bar indicates remaining effort. When you expand a project row in the table to display the project's milestone activities, the Gantt chart shows milestone icons ("") for each start and finish milestone activity in the project and baseline milestone ("") icons for each start and finish milestone in the baseline if one has been applied to the project.
