The Task Table and Gantt chart can be collapsed, expanded and opened in an external window. For more information see Workspace Management.

For each task there is a row in the Task Table and an adjacent time block in the Gantt Chart. The Task Table is used to edit column data directly whereas the Gantt Chart is used to display and manipulate the schedule timeline in a visual manner. As the current date in the schedule changes the Gantt Chart scrolls.

To Scroll through tasks, rotate the mouse wheel.

To Pan through the Task Table or the Gantt Chart use the scrollbar on the bottom of each view.

To Zoom into the Gantt Chart, click and drag the timeline bar at the top of the window.

The time blocks in the Gantt Chart reflect different durations and time stamps in the task. These durations are shown using different colors for Primary and Secondary schedules.

A primary duration appears using the Task Background Colortask backgroundcColor. Orange is the default Background background color for for construction tasks. A secondary duration appears teal.

The Data Date is a solid blue line in the Gantt Chart. The data date is the date on which the status of the schedule is being evaluated. Tasks with no actual durations are forced to occur after the data date.

The Current Date is a solid red line in the Gantt Chart. This time stamp is use for simulation. The current date controls what is being animated in the 3D view. The Current Date changes as the simulation is played through.

A left click changes the current date to the end of the task. A right click changes the current date to the beginning of the task. For more information see 4D Settings.
