Project plan widget

The widget is used on the project page to create, display, and edit the project plan.

On the project view page, the widget displays a Gantt chart that shows each item of the plan as a list and a color scheme.

By default, the widget is placed on the view forms of the Projects and Project plan system apps. You can use it on any system app page or process tasks. The widget can look as follows:

To access the widget settings, open the Projects in interface designer, select the widget, and click the gear icon. The settings form consists of three tabs.

Main tab

• Current object*. This field automatically defines an item of the Projects app.
• Project plan. Define the plan that will be displayed in the widget.
• Project. Define the project whose plan will be displayed in the widget.

To fill in the Project plan and Project fields, click the <Not defined> link and select the item. On the app forms Projects and Project plan, these fields do not need to be filled in, because the value is determined automatically from the current object.

• Basic project plan for comparison. Specify the version of the plan against which all subsequent drafts will be compared when the Compare to Basic option is enabled.
• Show an empty plan if there are no drafts in the project. This option is enabled by default. You can turn it off to avoid showing an empty chart.
• Show buttons for editing Project plan. The option is enabled by default. If you do not want to display the toolbar above the plan, uncheck it.
• Show time chart. The option is enabled by default. If you do not want to display a color scheme in the widget, uncheck the box.

Events and System tabs

You can change the System settings of the widget. They are the same for all widgets and allow you to control widget visibility and access, customize their behavior on hover, and so on.

To finish customizing the widget, click Save and then Publish on the top panel of the interface designer.

The changes made to the widget can be viewed on the project page as well as on the Project Plan app pages.
