Hey all, FM7, Win XP I've been trying to come up with a good graphical timeline for projects that will last from 1 week to just over a year. FM7 has some interesting new features that some have said make calendar type things easier but I'm at a bit of a loss. I would really like an almost zoomable view. One layout with maybe 3 months viewable, one with 9 months, and one with 18 months. Each project (up to 10 projects simultaneously) would have it's own colored bar indicating how long a project is projected to take. The details of each project would be viewed in a separate layout. I know this is extremely vague, but where should I start? Which features/commands should I be investigating? |
much easier to search for something once you know what its called
Googling: gantt charts filemaker 7
That brings up some good hits with or without plugins. The cleveland
consulting one in particular looks promising. Check out the "free
version" as a starting point.
-regards,
Dave
