Abstract
A graphical user interface for a Gantt chart map display (100) includes a list of projects (214), a corresponding activity timeline reflecting activity for each project, and a control (210) at a side or bottom area of the Gantt chart map display for manipulating date ranges viewable in the viewable area. The GUI further includes a selected date range control (204) providing a high level view (202) of the corresponding activity timeline displayed in the viewable area (212) above and can provide a high level view of corresponding activity beyond the scrollable view. A dynamic set of controls (205 and 206) enables preset filtered views of the Gantt chart with preset time frames such as days, weeks, months and years or predetermined date ranges entered by a user. The preset filtered view can also automatically re-sort and scale content on the Gantt chart into a viewable area to reduce scrolling.
