Main Features include:

Bars

Bars may or may not overlap. In addition, they can be labelled. To generate different shapes and colors of bars, these features are based on data, and filters and maps can be applied to select bars and allocate graphical features.

VARCHART Gantt diagrams offer a variety of options to position annotations on bars. You can place them at the top, at the bottom, at the beginning or at the end of a bar, outside or inside of it. Even symbols and pictures can be added to an annotation. This animated picture demonstrates selected positions of annotations on a bar.

Grouped Layout

Arrange activities or orders in your Gantt chart by grouping them using data fields. Even multi-level grouping is a snap. Summarize groups using group titles and summary bars. Sort groups and their activities by any criteria. Collapse groups to display the activities of a group in a single line in order to save space

Hierarchical Layout

Use VARCHART XGantt's hierarchical layout option to display activities/orders using a structured code field from your data. Levels are automatically indented, and can be expanded/collapsed with a simple click of the mouse.

Time Scale

Specify a time scale tailored to your customer's specific requirements. You can define its resolution, add different time ribbons or add the names of weeks and months in foreign languages. This animated picture shows a time scale section of increasing resolution. In the bars beneath, details become visible that were hidden at low resolution.

Calendar Grid

Visualise non-working intervals with VARCHART XGantt's powerful and unique calendar grid. A different calendar can even be assigned to each group or even to each activity of a Gantt chart. It then shows the individual time pattern of working and non-working periods of the group or activity. This animated picture shows calendars assigned to a whole chart and to single groups.

Table

Adapt the columns of the table in your Gantt chart exactly to your needs. Use maps and filters to assign various backgrounds, fonts, and colors based on your data.

Histogram

VARCHART XGantt allows to display workload and capacity by a histogram that automatically adapts to your current planning situation. Quickly display current work load and available capacities. Overloads and subloads can be shown in several different ways. Different capacities can be graphically displayed all at once in several histograms, or by stacked curves in different colors/patterns in the same histogram. Availabilities and capacities can be updated interactively.
