In the General tab, you can define the essential elements of your Gantt chart configuration.

• Start Day - This is the day the project should begin. All automatic scheduling will be based on work estimates and dependencies, with the earliest issues beginning at this date.
• Calendar - Tasks within the chart will be scheduled based on the selected work calendar.
• Year Start - Dates displayed in the timeline will use the selected month as the start of the fiscal year, with the year assigned based on the end of the fiscal year period. For example, if you select November and the calendar year is 2020, then October (end of the fiscal period) is treated as 2020, and November (start of the new fiscal period) will be treated as 2021. To always display the actual calendar date, leave this set to "January."
• Appearance - Select the default look/color of your Gantt chart.
• Fix Version Timeline Settings - Project fix versions that will be displayed in the Gantt timeline.
• Sprint start day/Duration - The default day of the week sprints begin, and the default duration of sprints for Agile tasks.
• Import Settings (top of the screen) - Import the Gantt configuration from another structure. See Import Settings.

Appearance

The appearance section allows you to customize the way task bars appear in the Gantt chart. You can select one of the predefined color schemes, or choose a custom color scheme to match your company style:

Fix Versions

Structure.Gantt can also place markers at the top of your timeline to show Fix Versions. 

To enable this feature, simply enter the projects you want to show fix versions from.

Sprints

Structure.Gantt is able to visualize past, current and future sprints.

To configure future sprints, you need to specify:

• Sprint start day - the day of the week your sprints usually start on
• Duration - how long sprint lasts, in weeks

Future Sprint Scheduling

The first future sprint is scheduled for the Sprint start day immediately following the end of the active sprint. If the active sprint ends on the same day of the week as the Sprint start day, Structure.Gantt will visualize the active sprint ending on the previous day.

Future sprints are scheduled for the specified duration, and each additional future sprint begins immediately following the previous.

Custom Sprint Schedules

You can also create custom schedules for sprints from specific boards. To add a custom schedule, click the Add sprints configuration link.

In the example above, any sprints from the BP board will have a 3 week duration. All other sprints will use the default configuration (2 weeks).

• Name - We recommend giving your configuration a name that conveys its purpose or corresponds with the project you will be using it for.
• Description - Enter a brief description of the configuration, so you and your users know when best to use it.
• Chart Calendar - Select the calendar to be used for displaying the chart to users. We'll cover this more in-depth in the Calendars section.
• Year Start - Dates displayed in the timeline will use the selected month as the start of the fiscal year, with the year assigned based on the end of the fiscal year period. For example, if you select November and the calendar year is 2020, then October (end of the fiscal period) is treated as 2020, and November (start of the new fiscal period) will be treated as 2021. To always display the actual calendar date, leave this set to "January."
• Owner - Only the owner and Jira administrators can change the configuration. When there is no owner defined, anyone who has permissions to create new structures is allowed to edit the configuration.
• Sharing - Check this box to share your configuration with other users. They will be able to see the configuration and use it in their Gantt charts, but they will not be able to modify the configuration in any way.
• Appearance - Select the default look of your Gantt chart:
