Scheduling work in the Gantt view

After you create a project schedule in the Scheduler application, you use the Gantt view to visually manage and schedule work and resources in your organization. The Gantt view shows you the available resources for work, and allows you to make schedule changes.

Before you begin

You can customize your schedule display settings in the Gantt view in the Configure Gantt Properties: User Settings window. You can also adjust display properties on the Activity and Resource chart.

About this task

The following restrictions apply when scheduling work in the Gantt view:

Procedure

  1. To modify the scheduled dates for a work record, select the work record in the Activity chart of the Gantt view.
  2. Review the information in the resource table to determine when to schedule the work.
  3. Click the center of the work segment that represents the work, and drag it to the new date. If you move the start or end date of a work record outside of any date constraints that exist for that record, a dashed line appears, indicating where the date constraint falls. The work record turns red, indicating it is in violation of its date constraints. You can move the work, or override the date constraints.
  4. Save the schedule. To save your changes to Maximo® work management applications, such as Work Order Tracking or Activities and Tasks, commit the changes.
