Working with Roadmap Gantt Charts

|
Roadmaps require two Date/Time properties on your object to store the Start and End date of each item you want to display. |
|---|
A Roadmap is a type of Gantt Chart that enables you to show a number of objects and their start and end dates.
For example, you could have a Project object, which has Start Date and End Date properties. On your Roadmap you could show all the Projects associated to a specific Department and what their start dates and end dates are, viewing any overlaps or gaps.
You can optionally display Categories like a menu in the web page which allows users to filter the list dynamically when viewing the page.
You can use Roadmaps as the main element on Index Pages, or beneath an Association Type node on Object Pages.
What do you want to do?
Create a new Roadmap Gantt Chart for your page

These instructions assume that you have already created your page, including any filtering you may want so that only the objects you want displayed are shown. |

To create a new Roadmap Gantt Chart for your page:
-
Ensure the Layout node for your element is set to Empty
For an Index Page the Layout node is the one directly under the Object Type node.
For an Object Page the Layout node is the one directly under the Association Type node
-
Right-click the Layout node and choose Add Behaviors > Gantt Charts > Gantt Chart (Roadmap)
A Gantt Chart (Roadmap) node is added below the Layout node
-
Select the Gantt Chart (Roadmap) node and set the properties

Use lower case to enter Scriptnames. |

-
Use the Start Date field to enter the Scriptname of the property used to store the start date
-
Use the End Date field to enter the Scriptname of the property used to store the end date
-
Use the Filter Lookup Property field to enter the Scriptname of a drop-down property that you want displayed like a menu in the web page so that users can click to filter the displayed list of objects in the Roadmap
-
Select the Object Type node and use the Selected Properties area to select all the properties you referenced at step 3 - that is the Start Date and End Date properties, as well as the Category.
-
Save your Site.
The Site is saved and the Roadmap Gantt Chart is created.
