Change default view states of columns, timeline and features when Gantt chart is loaded

If you need to present a consistent Gantt chart view for different stakeholders, simply configure the default view. It lets you retain the columns, Gantt features, and timeline displayed on the Confluence page.

Default view setting is only applicable to view mode. Once you open the Gantt chart editor, you’ll see the restored state from the last saved view.

How to set the default view state of columns and features

1. Open the Gantt chart editor and open the configuration panel

2. Select Default View tab

3. Update the setting and save your Gantt chart

Timeline view

Adjust the zoom level in edit mode and scroll to the date range that you want to display:

	Set the current date range Apply the current view you’ve set in the edit mode
	Zoom to fit the project Automatically adjust the timeline view to fit the project

Gantt view

Select the columns you want to display in view mode, pick from the dropdown menu. You can also enable Gantt features like Resource view or Baseline view to display by default.

If you want to restore the view state in the view mode to the same as the edit mode, check “Restore the state at saving in the view mode“ option.
