Configure Gantt Chart for Fusion Agility Suite


Gantt chart is a graphical depiction of a project schedule. It is a type of bar chart that shows the start and finish dates of several elements of a project including resources, milestones, tasks, and dependencies. The Gantt chart for the Fusion Agility Suite displays projects with their associations from Sprints to Project Tasks. This chart is deployed as part of the Fusion Agility Suite. This topic contains the steps on how the Gantt Chart is configured for Fusion Agility Suite.

Code for the Configuration Blade field

The Custom Blade area is needed to open the different objects like Sprints, Project Task, and Projects from the Gantt Chart directly. They are linked in a JSON format like below:

{
  "default":{
     "viewDefinitionName":null,
     "viewTitle":null
  },
  "Sprint":{
     "viewDefinitionName":"com.fusiongbs.agility:Sprint - Edit",
     "viewTitle":"Sprint Edit"
  },
  "Project Task":{
     "viewDefinitionName":"com.fusiongbs.agility:Project Task - Edit",
     "viewTitle":"Project Task Edit"
  },
  "Project":{
     "viewDefinitionName":"com.fusiongbs.agility:Project - Edit",
     "viewTitle":"Project Edit"
  }
}
