  • Display the task name next to bars on the Gantt Chart.
    In Microsoft Project, by default the Gantt Chart displays the resource names next to each task bar. You can format these bars to display whatever information you choose.
    This video looks at formatting the task bars to display the task name next to each bar. This makes it easier to identify tasks when Gantt Charts are printed or saved as PDF.

    Critical tasks are a different type of task. If you want the name next to these bars also, you need to repeat the process for Critical Tasks.

    Cool... and adding the task ID number to left or right is now easy (due to the complex list they show on this section). Lets say if you wanted to place it on the Left of the bar chart on the main Gantt chart page either select an individual text line and bring up format bar and go to text, and here on top (rather than click any selecting any drop down items) just type in capital … ID and it will auto give the bar chart your task number lol. Have fun with all this complex stuff :)

    I am able to show to task name next to the bars but when I display the critical tasks, the task name disappears and only those tasks that are not critical show the task name next to the bar. Is there a solution to this issue?

    sir, how to put all the display next to gantt chart ( ex 30 bar ) at the same time like we change text style. Now i use to add display at bar, one by one

    • @Computergaga
      @Computergaga  8 років тому

      +Sofizan Zainal Abidin Yes you can quickly apply the same text to each bar by using Text Styles. However you will need to apply it to each style in turn. For example, normal task bars, manually scheduled bars, summary bars, milestones.Once done though this View can be saved for long term use.

    I followed the steps as you did but unfortunately the task name does not appear besides my bars. Is there any reason for this?

    • @Computergaga

      I suspect your tasks may be manually scheduled but you added the task name to auto scheduled tasks. Follow the video but find manually scheduled n the top half of the Bar Styles window.

    Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "what is project planning and scheduling?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Biycarlett Astounded Builder - (search on google ) ? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to download thousands of business and project management templates minus the hard work. Ive heard some great things about it and my brother in law got cool results with it.
