Percent complete view

The Percent Complete view mode replaces the Gantt bars and milestones with bar graphs indicating each task's percent complete.

Each task displays a red bar (default setting) indicating its percent complete. A bar's length corresponds to a task's percent complete value in relation to the date heading length. That is, a task which is 50% complete will display a red bar which traverses half of the date heading's length.

The percent complete bars do not represent start and stop dates.

To display the Percent Complete view, choose View | Viewing Options | Chart Type: Gantt-Percent Complete.
