A Gantt chart allows you to see at a glance:

  • Project start and end dates

  • Task start and end dates

  • What the task is

  • Who is assigned to the task

  • If tasks overlap

  • Dependencies between tasks

Commands

The portlet will listen to the following portlets Specify which portlet the commands above will trigger from. The portlets that appears will be shown with their unique internal name.

Data Source configuration

Data source configuration enables the portlet to execute a specified query towards the chosen database connector to fetch data, or fetch data from a workflow.
