Configure Gantt Curtains on the Activities Page

Gantt curtains can be customized using various colors, opacity options, and sizes, depending on the needs of your project team. Preview your changes before applying them to the schedule.

Create multiple curtain styles and manage them as needed from the Manage Views panel, or directly from the Activities grid when in Gantt view. See Gantt Curtains Overview for more information.

To enable and configure Gantt curtains from the Manage Views panel:

1. Navigate to the Activities page
   1. In the object selector, select Project or Program, and then select a project or a program from the list.
   2. From the Main Menu, select Schedule, and then select Activities.

3. In the Manage Views panel, select the Gantt tab, and then select the General tab.
4. In the Show section, select Curtains to display curtains in Gantt view.
5. At the top of the panel, select the Curtains tab to configure curtain settings.
6. Select Add to create a new curtain, and then customize it using the following options in the grid:
   1. Name: Add a name for the Gantt curtain.
   2. Description: Add a significant description for your project team. This description displays with the Name and Start and Finish dates when a user hovers over the curtain name.
   3. Start: Enter the starting point for the curtain to display.
   4. Finish: Enter a finishing point for the curtain to close.

      The default length of the curtain relates to the selected timescale. For example, if the timescale is set to Week/Day, then the default length is 1 week.
