# Gantt chart for queues

A Gantt chart in Tracker is a tool for creating a work schedule. The chart for a queue displays all of its issues.

Issue deadlines are shown on the chart as bars that run along the time axis. The start of each bar corresponds to the issue start date, and its end corresponds to the deadline. If an issue isn't closed by its deadline, the bar turns red.

To open the chart, open the queue page and select the **Gantt** view.

## How to read the chart {#view}

* To the left of the chart, a list of queue issues is displayed. By default, each issue shows its priority, type, and name: you can change this set of parameters. [Changing the table columns](#edit-table)

* If issue deadlines are not specified, they are not displayed on the chart. To set deadlines, hover over the chart next to the relevant row and place the bar on the timeline. [Changing issue deadlines](#timing)

* Arrows between issues indicate links of the "Depends on — Blocks" type. [Updating links between issues](#links)

* <!-- source: en/_includes/gantt-time-scale.md -->
  To change the time scale, select **Week**, **Month**, or **Quarter** in the bottom right corner of the chart. The scale settings persist after refreshing the page or opening the chart again.
  <!-- endsource: en/_includes/gantt-time-scale.md -->

## How to assess employee workload {#workload}

When planning issues on the Gantt chart, you can check an employee's workload: if a cell is red, all working time is already taken; if it is yellow, there is little free time left. For more information, see the article [Check employee workload on the Gantt chart](https://yandex.ru/support/tracker/en/manager/gantt-workload.md).


## Updating links between issues {#links}

<!-- source: en/_includes/gantt-links.md -->
The Gantt chart shows **Depends on – Blocks** issue links, provided that the **Start date** and **Deadline** fields are filled in for both issues and the **Show blocking links** option is enabled for the chart. Links appear as an arrow pointing from the dependent issue to the blocking issue.

You can edit issue links on the Gantt chart.

* To add a **Depends on – Blocks** [link](https://yandex.ru/support/tracker/en/user/ticket-links.md), hover over the issue bar until dots appear to the right and left of the bar.

   * To make the selected issue dependent, click the dot on the left and drag it to the blocking issue.

   * To make the selected issue blocking, click the dot on the right and drag it to the dependent issue.

   {% note info "" %}

   If the dependent issue deadline is earlier than that of the blocking issue, the arrow is red. You can enable [automatic update of start dates and deadlines](#timing) for dependent issues.

   {% endnote %}

* To delete a link between issues, click the link arrow and then click ![](../_assets/svg/del-link.svg)</svg> **Delete link**.
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/gantt-links.md -->

## Changing issue deadlines {#timing}

* If the deadlines for a sub-issue are not displayed, you can set them right on the Gantt chart: move the pointer over the chart area next to the issue name to select an approximate date, and click the chart to pin the issue bar.

* To shift the start date and deadline by the same value, drag the bar along the time access.

* To change the project duration, drag the left edge of the bar (the start date) or the right edge of the bar (end date).

## Assigning an issue {#assigned}

<!-- source: en/_includes/gantt-assigned.md -->
On the Gantt chart, you can appoint or change the issue's assignee:

1. Click ![](../_assets/svg/add-user.svg)</svg> on the issue bar.

1. Enter the name of the employee to assign the issue to.

{% note info "" %}

If you do not see the ![](../_assets/svg/add-user.svg)</svg> button on the issue bar, go to ![](../_assets/svg/gantt-settings-button.svg)</svg> **Chart settings** and select the **assignee** item in the **Issue bar** section.

{% endnote %}
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/gantt-assigned.md -->

## Displaying the issue list section {#tasks-view}

If you need to keep only the issues that match your criteria in the list or sort the list, use the buttons on the panel at the top.

To add a condition:

1. Click ![](../_assets/svg/add-icon.svg)</svg> **Add a field for filtering**.

1. Select a parameter, set its value, and click **Apply**.

### Changing the table columns {#edit-table}

The queue issue list is presented as a table with issue parameters, such as "Key", "Issue", and "Assignee". You can add parameter columns to the table or remove unnecessary ones:

<!-- source: en/_includes/save-filter.md -->
To quickly find an issue in a filtered list, type text in the **Search by issue name** field. {#search}

You can customize the list with search results: sort or group issues, select columns with parameters. For more information, see [How to configure the issue search results list](https://yandex.ru/support/tracker/en/user/actions-on-filter.md). {#list}

Open the issue list with extended search capabilities: click ![](../_assets/svg/tasks.svg)</svg> **Issues** → **Show all** or go to [https://tracker.yandex.com/issues ![](../_assets/svg/new-window.svg)</svg>](https://tracker.yandex.com/issues). {#all-issues}

To search by a local field of a specific queue, enter the queue key and a dot before the field name (for example, `DEVS.Tester`). For more information about local fields, see [Local issue fields](https://yandex.ru/support/tracker/en/local-fields.md). {#tip}
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/save-filter.md -->

![](../_assets/table-filter.png =500x){.border-blue}

### Changing an issue parameter value {#edit-param}

To change an issue status, priority, or date (for example, "Deadline"), in the list to the left of the chart, click the current value and select a new one.

![](../_assets/inline-edit-gantt.png =600x){.border-blue}

### Sorting the issue list {#sort-list}

By default, the issue list is sorted by update date. To set a new sorting parameter (for example, by descending start date), use the button at the top of the page: 
- Click ![](../_assets/svg/sort-new.svg)</svg> to change the sorting direction: descending or ascending. 
- To the right of the icon, click the name of the current sorting parameter and select a new one in the drop-down list.

![](../_assets/filters-condition.png =800x){.border-yes}

### Grouping the issue list {#group-list}

<!-- source: en/user/actions-on-filter.md -->
You can divide the issues in the search results into groups, for example, by assignee. To do this, click ![](../_assets/svg/group.svg)</svg> **No grouping** at the top and select a grouping parameter from the drop-down list.
<!-- endsource: en/user/actions-on-filter.md -->

## Chart settings {#settings}

#### Displaying the issue bar {#issue-bar}

<!-- source: en/_includes/issue-bar.md -->
Above the timeline on the right, click ![](../_assets/svg/gantt-settings-button.svg)</svg> **Chart settings** and select a setting under **Issue bar**:

* To show the issue name on the issue bar, select the **name** item.

* To show the assignee icon on the issue bar, select the **assignee** item.

* To have the missed deadline property (the difference between the deadline and the current date) highlighted in red on the chart, select **missed deadline**.
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/issue-bar.md -->

#### Timeline area {#timeline}

<!-- source: en/_includes/timeline-area.md -->
On a chart, you can configure the shift logic for dependent and parent issues, as well as issue link display.

Above the timeline on the right, click ![](../_assets/svg/gantt-settings-button.svg)</svg> **Chart settings** and select a setting in **Issue bar**:

* To have issues with a **Depends on — Blocks** link joined with an arrow on the chart, select **Show blocking links**.

* To automatically move the deadline of the dependent issue when the blocking issue's deadline changes, select the appropriate option.

* To extend the deadline of the parent issue depending on its sub-issues' deadlines, select the appropriate setting.
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/timeline-area.md -->

#### Issue color {#task-color}

{% note info "" %}

Issue color settings are saved per user, so each user can set up their own color scheme.

{% endnote %}

<!-- source: en/_includes/color-issue.md -->
<!-- source: en/_assets/style/image.md -->

<!-- endsource: en/_assets/style/image.md -->

By default, issue bars on the chart are colored according to the issue status types set in the [workflow editor](https://yandex.ru/support/tracker/en/manager/workflow.md).

![](../_assets/color-by-type.png){.border-yes}

To select a different color scheme:

1. Above the timeline on the right, click ![](../_assets/svg/gantt-settings-button.svg)</svg> **Chart settings**.

     ![](../_assets/three-dots-menu.png){.border-yes}

   - Setting colors based on issue parameters

     This option will be of use if you need to differentiate issues by a certain parameter, such as a queue or tag.
