React Gantt Chart column reordering layout

Reorder columns by priority

Column reordering changes the sequence of columns within the project grid to align information with specific review and reporting needs. Use this option when different users or project activities require task fields to be displayed in a preferred order.

React Gantt Chart column resizing support

Resize columns

Column resizing adjusts the width of individual columns to accommodate varying amounts of project information and display requirements. Use this option when task data requires additional space or when layouts need to fit different viewing environments.

React Gantt Chart frozen columns view

Keep context with frozen columns

Frozen columns keep selected columns visible while other columns scroll horizontally, maintaining access to key project information across wide schedules. Use this option when task identification or critical reference fields need to remain visible during project reviews.

The column menu centralizes common column management actions within each column header, making it easier to control how project information is displayed. Use this option when teams need to frequently adjust columns during project reviews and analysis.

React Gantt Chart WBS hierarchy for structured project breakdown

Structure projects with WBS numbering

WBS numbering organizes tasks using hierarchical codes that reflect parent-child relationships within a project schedule. Use this option when managing projects that require a formal work breakdown structure and defined task hierarchy.

React Gantt Chart column formatting for task data display

Format column values

Column formatting controls how project data is presented within columns, including values such as dates, numbers, percentages, and currencies. Use this option when project information requires specific display formats to support reporting, analysis, or regional standards.
