How to use the Gantt chart self-test to achieve the expected results?
Telerik UI for ASP. NET MVC Gantt Chart component is often used for project management, it provides a simple and comprehensive way to display tasks or time, with Gantt chart users can tell at a glance:
-
what are the various activities
-
The time each event started and ended
-
How long each activity is planned to last
-
Which activities overlap with other activities and to what extent
Below is a snippet of a Gantt component declaration that allows users to configure the layout of the Gantt and build a hierarchy of parent and child tasks, shown on the left side of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET MVC Gantt component.
@(Html. Kendo(). Gantt<TaskViewModel, DependencyViewModel>()
.Name("gantt")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(c => c.Title).Title("Task").Editable(true).Sortable(true).Width(200);
columns.Bound(c => c.Start).Title("Actual Start Date").Format("{0:M/d/yyyy}").Width(85);
columns.Bound(c => c.End).Title("Actual End Date").Format("{0:M/d/yyyy}").Width(85);
columns.Bound(c => c.PlannedStart).Title("Planned Start Date").Format("{0:M/d/yyyy}").Width(85);
columns.Bound(c => c.PlannedEnd).Title("Planned End Date").Format("{0:M/d/yyyy}").Width(85);
columns.Bound(c => c.TeamLead).Title("Team Lead").Format("{0:M/d/yyyy}").Width(65).TemplateId("teamlead- template");
})
.Views(views =>
{
views. DayView();
views. WeekView(weekView => weekView. Selected(true));
views. MonthView();
})
.ShowPlannedTasks(true)
.Editable(true)
.Resizable(true)
.Height(590)
.TaskTemplateId("task-template")
.ListWidth("45%")
.ShowWorkHours(false)
.ShowWorkDays(false)
.Snap(false)
.DataSource(d => d
.Model(m =>
{
m.Id(f => f.TaskID);
m.ParentId(f => f.ParentID);
m.OrderId(f => f.OrderId);
m.Field(f => f.Expanded).DefaultValue(true);
})
.Read("Read_Tasks", "Home")
.Update("Update_Tasks", "Home")
)
.DependenciesDataSource(d => d
.Model(m =>
{
m.Id(f => f.DependencyID);
m.PredecessorId(f => f.PredecessorID);
m.SuccessorId(f => f.SuccessorID);
m.Type(f => f.Type);
})
.Read("Read_Dependencies", "Home")
.Create("Create_Dependency", "Home")
.Destroy("Destroy_Dependency", "Home")
)
)
Emphasize and focus more on this particular part of the code snippet:
.Views(views =>
{
views. DayView();
views. WeekView(weekView => weekView. Selected(true));
views.MonthView();
It will allow the user to display and select a specific time view – day, week or month, this functionality can be achieved through the Gantt chart together with the toolbar component integrated in Telerik UI for ASP. NET MVC.
Custom task templates can also be applied to ensure a better user experience. The client API and server API provide many configuration options, as well as many methods and events.
The following code snippets show the configuration of the team leader column in the project management diagram and task template:
<script id="task-template" type="text/x-kendo-template"> <div class="template" style="display: flex;"> <span style="padding-right: 8px;">#= TeamLead #</span> <div class="progress" style="width:#= (100 * parseFloat(percentComplete)) #%">#= (100 * parseFloat(percentComplete)) #%</div> </div> </script> <script id="teamlead-template" type="text/x-kendo-template"> <div class="template"> <img class="resource-img" src="../content/#:ImageID#.jpg"/> <span>#= TeamLead #</span> </div> </script>
On the right side of the Gantt component, you can visualize each block of the project management process with its own private settings as start and end times, and you can also indicate the percentage of progress towards completion of the task.
Here is a code snippet on how to create the TaskViewModel in the controller:
new TaskViewModel
{
TaskID = Guid.Parse("c57c36ff-0695-45af-8be5-15ad6547311d"),
Title = "Software validation, research and implementation",
ParentID = null,
OrderId = 0,
Start = new DateTime(2020, 6, 1, 3, 0, 0),
End = new DateTime(2020, 6, 18, 3, 0, 0),
PlannedStart = new DateTime(2020, 6, 1, 3, 0, 0),
PlannedEnd = new DateTime(2020, 6, 12, 3, 0, 0),
PercentComplete = 0.43M,
Summary = true,
Expanded = true,
TeamLead = "Darrel Solis",
ImageID = 1,
}
Test the flexibility of Gantt chart components
There are many reasons to apply custom tools to UI components such as Gantt charts. The biggest advantage is the customization function, which allows developers to adjust the appearance of components according to personal or brand needs.
Adding customization tools to the Gantt chart component also allows users to control the presentation of (tasks, events, time durations, etc.)
There are many examples of custom tools added to Gantt charts. Take a look at the example below to see how to color hover items.
