Gantt UI

These settings control how the Gantt bars function and appear.

These settings are organized on four tabs as the following table describes.

Tab	Description
Gantt User Interface Settings	General functionality for Gantt-charts, for example the time span to use with the default assignment filter, or what should happen when a user double-clicks an event.
Text Color	The colors used for event and resource names. The default is black.
Gantt Stick Color	The colors used for the different types of Gantt bars.
Font Style	The font style used for event and resource names-that is, whether they should be styled in bold text.

Field	Description
Setting: Limit for Automatic Sortable Rows in a Calculated Column	You can sort on calculated columns in any of the Gantt views, including detailed views. This includes both custom and standard calculated columns. However, this sorting requires that all the column values are calculated before the sort is performed, which can result in a long response time before you see the sorted results. You can limit the maximum number of rows for which the required calculation time represents an acceptable wait time. If the number of rows involved in the requested sort is fewer than the limit that you set, the values are calculated synchronously, sorted, and displayed. If the number of rows involved in the requested sort is greater than the limit that you set, People Planner asks you to confirm that you want all the values in the column to be calculated. You can confirm the sort request or choose not to wait for the calculations and sort to be performed. In the latter case, People Planner displays the information without performing the calculations or the sort. Enter a value for this setting to choose the maximum number of rows. The default maximum number of rows is 200. You can set this value to any number between 1 and 10,000.
Setting: Project Gantt Double-Click Assignments/Events	You can configure the functionality that id provided when you double-click in certain areas of the Project Gantt (PG) in the Windows Application. Note: The double-click behavior is also described in the Deltek People Planner Fundamentals Guide under the "Show Information" section. To configure Double-Click Assignment and Double-Click Event in the PG: In the Project Gantt Double-Click Assignment field, select a value from the dropdown list. For new installations, the default value is None. Otherwise, the default value is Go to earliest date. In the Project Gantt Double-Click Event field, select a value from the dropdown list. For new installations, the default value is None. Otherwise, the default value is Show information.
