Are you able to have 2 or more time settings, for example; daily leading to an event, and by minute for the event day itself?

RE: Project

Hi Richard

Thank you for your question. Each view only supports one timescale setting days, hours etc. You can still have a mixture of tasks with hour durations and day durations.

One way around this is to have two views of your project each set at a different zoom level. To set this up go to View > More Views > and choose to copy the Gantt View. Give it a name e.g. Gant - Hours. Make sure the check box Show in menu is selected then click OK.

Turn on the view bar (View > View Bar)

Click the Gantt - hours view and zoom in to show hours on the timescale. Now you can easily switch between the day view of the plan and the hourly breakdown for the day.

I hope this helps. Do let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew
