Home page

Chart configuration

Chart configuration defines the items to include on a chart, work time specifics for the chart, as well as security and sharing.

Chart settings tab

Chart settings mostly define what data to include into a chart.

To be more precise, the Chart settings tab provides the ability to define the General information such as chart name, description and start/end dates, the Scheduling options such as type of Scheduling, project/project boards, JQL filter and scheduling mode, and the Task options such as start/end field, deadline field, duration calculation and mode.

 

 

Resources tab

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 a resource assignment.
