Project Planner Plot View

The Project Planner includes a plot view that makes it easy to visualize the timelines in your project.

To access this view, click Plot at the bottom of the Project Planner.

  • Use the Filter Options area to select whether to filter the data by Gate or by using a Date range. You can also choose to view data for Top Level Gates only.
  • In the Display Options area:
    • Show Planned, Show Expected and Show Actual determine which timelines will be shown in the plot.
      • To specify the colors that will be used in both the project plan Gantt chart and the plot, choose View > Settings > Set Colors. (See Set Colors for Project Planner.)
    • Display Actions shows the dependent actions for each gate.
    • Show Project Item shows the “project” gate at the top of the hierarchy.
    • Show First Gate on Top determines whether the gate with the earliest start date will show at the top or bottom of the chart.
    • Auto Refresh refreshes the plot automatically whenever changes have been made. If this option is cleared, you can click the Redraw Plot icon () to refresh the display.
    • Keep Aspect Ratio maintains the proportional relationship between the width and height of the plot image.
