This article provides a comprehensive overview of the configuration properties available for the Nextedy Gantt solution. These properties allow administrators to centrally control the default behavior, appearance, and interaction patterns of Gantt charts across the system.
By adjusting these properties, administrators can standardize Gantt behavior, enforce consistent visual styling, and reduce manual configuration effort for end users. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, default values apply system-wide and can later be overridden at the widget level where supported.
This article is intended primarily for system administrators and advanced users responsible for configuring and maintaining Gantt functionality within Polarion.
You can define the following properties in Administration > Configuration Properties
