Project Gantt Chart |

The Project Gantt draws a Gantt chart of jobs that are part of a project as defined by the DMS Job Identification. Projects and their jobs to graph are selected from Mfg Orders Job Grid. A bar is drawn for each project, which is a summary of all the jobs in the project, followed by each job within the project. Note that the projects and jobs graphed are dependent on the selections made in the Mfg Orders Job Grid.
In Mfg Orders Job Grid, select Graphs | Project Gantt to graph the projects and their jobs.
