Chart Cursor

Subscribe to Syndicate
In the Gantt Chart, the cursor may change, depending where you are in the task bar.
When the cursor is above most parts of the task bar it changes to a 4-way arrow. When in this mode you can drag tasks to the right or left to change the starting and ending times of the task.
When the cursor is on the right end of the task bar it changes to a 2-way arrow. When in this mode you can also grab the end-point of a task and stretch it to the left or right to shorten or expand the length of the task.
When the cursor is just past the left end of the task bar it changes to a pencil. When in this mode, you can drag across the task bar to fill in a dark area in the middle of the bar to indicate what portion of the task has been completed. When you do this, you will see a series of little squares in the group marker for that group indicating the percentage complete for all the tasks within the group.
