Can the zoom/scale on JS Grid conrol in gantt mode be changed? (2 answers)

Closed 5 years ago.

Is there a way to change the gantt chart scale? to something other than days

I would like to use it to monitor active contracts but I need a year based not just days (or it gets to big to see)

Answer 1

A Gantt chart can be scalled up and down by using the ribbon.

You can also use JavaScript to do this and scale down the chart when loading the chart,

Add a Script Editor WebPart or Content Editor WebPart and use code like this

<script src="indicate jquery.js location here" type="text/javascript">
$(function(){
  setTimeout(function(){
    for (var i = 0; i < 3; ++i) WebPartWPQ2_JSGridController.ZoomOutGantt()
  }, 2000)
})
</script>

The script zooms out the Gantt view 3 times from default to achieve the month scale view.
