Viewing Slack on a Gantt chart

Hi, could you please tell me how to view slack on the gantt chart. I thought it was displayed on the tracking gantt but it is not showing. Many thanks, Geoff

RE: Viewing Slack on a Gantt chart

Hi Geoff,

Thank you for your question.

Go to the Format menu and choose Bar Styles. Select Task from the list and go to the Text tab. You can now choose the position for the Slack value to be added. The choices will be Left, Right, Centre, Top or Bottom.

If you click in the left section and click on the arrow at the end of the field, and from the list of fields choose Slack. This should place the slack values to the left of each task Gantt bar.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

MS Project tip:

Link tasks using predecessor column - project

a. First, note ID number of the task you want to link to (predecessor). Then, in the predecessor column of the task you want to link to (successor), type the predecessor task's ID number.
b. The link will be a Finish to Start (the default type).
c. Or you can add in a code for a different relationship type
i. SS = Start to Start
ii. FF = Finish to Finish
iii. SF = Start to Finish
d. You don't have to type the task ID numbers in any specific order, but you must separate multiple tasks with commas.
