Chart start date / Chart end date - define chart boundaries. In most cases, data outside this range is not visible, and chart can only be scrolled within this range.
These dates can be left blank. In this case, app will try to determine dates based on chart tasks. But this might be inconvenient when creating a chart since task dates aren’t yet defined and chart range would be too narrow.JQL filter - Jira JQL query, allows to narrow down the task selection for a chart.
Gantt Suite appends JQL filter to own query. The resulting query can be viewed by clicking view generated link below the label. If JQL filter contains “OR” keyword, please wrap the query in parentheses ( ), like shown below. Otherwise, the resulting JQL will return incorrect results from Jira. Also, please note that “order by …“ clause stays out of parentheses.
In case the tasks are sorted by JQL that includes order by, the parent tasks may be located incorrectly.
Impersonated view - normally, users without permissions to access projects or issues will not see them on a chart. This option lets users with restricted access to see tasks on a chart in view-only mode. The name of a person who enabled the impersonated view is shown next to enabled Impersonated view.
To summarize, this option allows everybody to see a chart like the impersonation person does (even though, viewers might not have have the required Jira permissions).Default task mode
Defines the default behaviour for tasks with children (e.g. parent tasks). The behaviour can be overridden for each task, when viewing the chart. High chances are your desired selection here is “Bottom-up“ (the default one).Bottom-up - initially selected mode. In this mode parents are defined solely by children. This means parent task ignores its information in Jira (like start/end dates, work, etc) and calculates itself from children. The parent starts where the first child starts, and the parent ends where the last child ends. Progress and work also calculated from children. Moving a child outside parent’s boundary will resize the parent. The parent itself can’t be resized.
Manual - parent task duration is independent from its children. In this mode, the parent task reads its estimate, progress, work, etc. from Jira rather than calculates from children. Unlike in “Bottom up“ mode, this mode allows resizing of parent tasks.
