Zoom In / Out 🔍
This affects the Gantt chart portion of the table. Notice the first timeline across the top spans a few quarters. Zooming in allows you to focus on just a few days in December.
Fit to Width ⬅️➡️
This affects the Gantt chart portion of the table. It will zoom out the Gantt chart to show you the vertical Project Start and End lines.
Fullscreen 🖥️
Block out distractions by making the table fullscreen. Extra screen real estate can be nice for rearranging tasks or seeing as many columns as possible without scrolling.
Calendar 📆
Choose the calendar for the table and the direction of scheduling. If you choose Forward the End Date will be greyed out, because it is determined by the input of the table.
If you choose Backwards the Start Date is greyed out because it's determined by the input. This can be helpful for event or just-in-time planning.
