You can customize a barchart view by controlling the display of relationships, the Time Now marker, and non-work periods. You can access these controls from the Barchart Preferences dialog box. - Customizing the Date Scale in the Barchart View
Because reporting standards vary widely between organizations, Open Plan allows you to define the components of the date scale on the barchart and histogram views. - How a Barchart Displays Information
A barchart view displays information about a project in rows drawn across two panes. Each row in an activity or multi-table barchart conveys information about a single activity. - Working with Activities in a Barchart View
Open Plan allows you to perform many editing functions directly from a barchart view. - Bar Data Mode and Relationship Mode
The barchart pane provides two modes for entering activity-related information. - The Spreadsheet Pane
The Spreadsheet pane of a barchart view uses a tabular format to display activity information in rows and columns. - Grouping in the Barchart View
You can define groups for the spreadsheet portion of a barchart view as well as for stand-alone spreadsheet views. - Outlining in the Barchart View
Outlining is a feature available in spreadsheet views, including the spreadsheet portion of the barchart view. With outlining, you can use the hierarchical information implicit in the activity ID to expand or collapse the display of detail information. - Reporting Calendars in the Barchart View
