Gantt Suite is a Jira app for project visualization via Gantt chart. Provides tasks and resources planning.
Once installed, Gantt Suite menu will appear in Jira's Admin menu. This is company-wide configuration and default settings for new charts. For details, see Company-wide configuration.
Gantt menu item will appear in Jira's top menu for regular users. For details, see Working with a chart.
Gantt Suite provides two levels of configurations, company-wide configuration and chart configuration.
Once app is installed, admin must specify company-wide app settings, setup default values for new charts, and configure Jira fields that are used by Gantt Suite. For details, see Company-wide configuration.
Regular users can only configure their own charts, or some of those shared with them (if the relevant permissions are given to a user). For details, see Configuring a chart.
Gantt Suite home page shows a list of charts created by you and shared with you.
Chart configuration defines the items to include on a chart, worktime specific for the chart, as well as security and sharing.
Chart settings mostly define what data to include into a chart. The ‘Chart settings’ tab includes two sections, General and Additional.

Here, you can define the working and non-working days and hours for your team in general as per individual resource by adding and configuring the individual resource calendars.
In addition, as a chart manager, you’ll be able to configure the field for resource assignment.

If needed, the Resource panel can be hidden from Gantt chart display by unticking the Resource panel checkbox. |
By default, created Gantt chart is public and accessible by all Jira users who are granted an access to the app.
As a chart manager, you can choose who can view or edit the chart by configuring the security roles.
