Gantt Page Parameters

Since: Version 4.6.0

Sometimes you need a Gantt chart to be parametrized by user inputs.  You want users to enter input parameters, for example, "Version Number" to select the planned work items:

Of course, you can implement a Rich Page with Page Parameters on the top:

But this implies that you cannot set the gantt in the Maximized full screen mode and this greatly affects the usability in negative way.

So how to handle  it?

1) Setup a Page 

1. add Page Parameters widget to the top

2. add Gantt widget to the page (keep Maximized turned OFF)
3. add your page parameters
4. refer to page parameter in your gantt parameters

2) Test the Page that it Works

3) Turn Maximized option

4) Check it out

And now the Settings action appears in the toolbar

Note: you can also access the Page Parameters via Item Script. In order to get the Page parameter, use the following snippet:

config.getPageParameters().get("pageParamId")
