!! Adding rows to the Gantt Chart layout.
You may want to increase the size of the gantt chart by showing more rows, or maybe you'd like to add a scroll bar to it. In this case you can adjust the number of rows that can be displayed at the beginning of the script "Load records into Gantt Chart" by changing the value of the variable $$sc_GanttRows.

When you first arrive at the gantt chart, it will show you all the events which match the active filters occurring in the two weeks starting from the focus date of the calendar. Once you're on the chart, you can select any range of dates you'd like using the default date ranges at the bottom of the screen, or the "custom" range button which let's you type in your own dates.

While the gantt chart looks a bit like the calendar's grid view, they are really for different things, and the gantt chart is best at looking at the activities over the course of a project.
On the grid view, each row is a resource in the calendar, so you can have may activities associated with that one resource: this makes the grid view great when you're looking for gaps in your schedule.
Rows on the gantt chart, in contrast, each represent an event, so you,ll never have more than one thing happening in a row.
A few other things to note...
-> The gantt chart can show any range of dates (and range 2 weeks or longer) while the grid view can show any 2 week range, or events within a single day when it is set to show hours or minutes (the gantt view will not show hours, only days).
-> You can filter the gantt chart to show just items for a single resource or a single project.
-> Use the filter "show only milestones" to include only events tagged as milestones.
