Setting Up a Functional Table View

This article will guide you through the configuration of the Table view to suit your needs and requirements. Table view is located on the left side of the Gantt Chart and serves as a tool for quick navigation and locating specific Work items.

What is displayed in the demonstration image? The first column displays Work items and the subsequent indicate their Assignees.

Where to configure the Table view

To modify Table view click on ’Expand Tools’ > ’Edit’ > ’Edit widget parameters’ (on the right side). Scroll down to the Table view section  and expand the parameter.

How do we specify the first column

In this section you can choose to add or hide the ID, title, or icon of work items. Additionally, you have the option to change the label as needed.

Here you can see field First Column with its optional configurations:

For example, here is the configuration of the First Column, set to display only the ID and icon:

And with this one Gantt shows only title:

How to add second column

Next, click on ’Add Column’ and in the Field section select what your next column should display. 

As demonstrated, you can customize the Gantt to show for example duration of Work items. You can add as many columns as required.

Another useful option might be ’Other (by ID)’ which allows you to view specific settings for individual Work items. For instance, if you want to add a Status column to the Table view, select ’Other (by ID)’ and type status in the Field ID parameter. Render provides the opportunity to choose how information will be displayed—by icon, text, or the default setting.

Additionally, for each column, you have the flexibility to adjust the alignment and width to tailor the Table view to your preferences.

Important reminder! Don’t forget to click ’Apply’ to implement your new configurations, followed by ’Save’ to preserve your changes.

New Feature: Column Visibility

Starting with version 24.7.11 we have introduced a new feature allowing you to control which created columns are displayed in the Table view. To access this feature, exit edit mode and right-click on the table header. Here, you can mark or unmark the visibility of columns. You can also adjust column visibility using the three-bar menu located at the top of the Table view.

With these steps, you now have a fully functional Table view.
