Gantt Attributes in Structure

Once you've created a Gantt chart, you can view and utilize its attributes within the corresponding structure. Gantt attributes can be turned into structure columns, used in formulas or transformations, or even written to Jira fields using Effectors.

Viewing Attribute Values from a Baseline or Sandbox

You can also view attribute values from a baseline or sandbox. To do so, add the appropriate Gantt Attribute column, open the column configuration, and select the Source.

Using Gantt Attributes in Formulas

Structure.Gantt attributes can also be used in Structure formulas. Simply enter a new variable into your formula and assign it to the appropriate Gantt attribute.

Using Gantt Attributes in Transformations

Using Transformations, you can sort items in your structure by their Gantt attributes. To do so, open the Transformations panel and select Add Transformation | Sort.

In the Sort by... menu, select Attribute...

Use the drop-down or search to select the appropriate Gantt Attribute.

Once you click apply, your items will now be sorted accordingly.

Updating Jira With Effectors

Gantt attributes are only available within Structure.Gantt and Structure; however, it is possible to write Gantt values to Jira fields, using Structure Effectors. This way, these values can be viewed and utilized by anyone, whether they have access to Structure or not.

See Attribute to Issue Field Effector for more information.
