Business Graphics, Gantt, and how to

[former_member552974]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to use the UI Element Business Graphics in order to create a Gantt chart. I am having trouble trying to determine how to set up the context and mapping for this. I am basically trying to create a Gantt chart that is similar to a Team Calendar in that entries on the vertical axis could have more than one entry on the line. I have looked at the example WDA programs that specify a Gantt chart, but none of them are doing a Gantt chart similar to a team calendar.

I currently have my context as follows.

Series (Node)

Points (Node of Series)

Values (Node of Points)

Start Time (Attribute of Values)

End Time (Attribute of Values)

Description (Attribute of Series - This contains entries on the vertical axis. In a Team Calendar...this would be name)

Label (Attribute of Series)

Is this the proper context set up for a Gantt chart similar to a team calendar? If this is correct, then does someone also have recommendations on how to bind the attributes in the "Values" node since this is a nested node?

One last question, does anyone know of any WDA program (standard) that is doing a Gantt chart similar to this? It would be helpful to look at an example.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Priya,

Thank you for the response.

Yes - I had already reviewed the Business Graphics Gantt view in WD WDR_TEST_EVENTS. Unfortunately the example that is given with that scenario is not exactly what I am trying to accomplish. My scenario is similar to a team calendar where any entry on the vertical axis could have more than one entry on the graph.

Hi Lekha,

Yes, I have looked at both of those. Both of those examples utilize the Gantt UI element and not the Business Graphics UI element and Gantt chart as I mentioned. The Gantt UI element in those two examples seem to be a bit overkill for what I am trying to accomplish; however, I welome any feedback on utilizing the Gantt UI element. This problem I saw with that (other than it being too much for what I am trying to do) is how/what must be done to get your data formated properly in order to bind it to the Gantt UI Element.
