1.1. Display Options
The 'Display As' option menu allows users to view the Gantt by the day distributed or the week distributed format.
- View by Day - allows users to visualize the Gantt by showing each day within the navigation period. This is the default view that the AdvoLogix Gantt initially loads in.
- View by Week - combines all the days within a week to a single column within the navigation period. This view is preferred for visualizing the activity distribution load for the whole week.
Activities, when interacted with using drag and drop in the View by Week display mode, are updated in seven day periods.
