The Gantt chart feature allows you to manage the progress rate of each job and the overall project. You can choose between two calculation methods for the progress rate: "Planned Cost" and "Duration".
Planned Cost: The overall project progress is displayed based on the planned cost of each process.
Duration: The overall project progress is displayed based on the duration of each process.
With Planned Cost, you can input and manage the costs associated with the project, while Duration allows you to check the current progress against the planned timeline.
Note: Only one calculation method can be selected, and once chosen, it cannot be changed later. Please be cautious when making your selection.
This is an optional feature. If you wish to use this feature, please contact your representative.
Please refer to this page to learn about the "Summary Function"
