Time options

8 Mar 20187 minutes to read

Start date and end date in the data source defines the starting point and ending point of a task in the project. The two data types are:

Date
Datetime

The datetime data type for start date and end date defines the exact starting point and ending point of a task along with time details of a day. There are two types of time scales available based on working hours:

TimeScale8Hours for 8 hour working scale
TimeScale24Hours for 24 hour working scale

Use the following code example for setting different time scales of working hours:

javascript

<body ng-controller="GanttCtrl">
   <!--Add  Gantt control here-->    
   <div id="GanttContainer" ej-gantt
      //...
      e-workingtimescale=ej.Gantt.workingTimeScale.TimeScale24Hours
      >
   </div>
</body>

Use the following code example to include time options in start date and end date of a task:

   <div id="GanttContainer" ej-gantt
      //...
      e-datasource= "taskDetails"
