All along, we have been working with the task entry/Gantt chart view. The Gantt chart view shows a timeline of your tasks.

 

 

By default, the timeline at the top shows two tiers: weeks and then days.

 

 

You can change this view by clicking the Format menu and clicking Timescale.

 

 

This lets you show up to three tiers. You can control how many tiers are shown, how each tier appears and how non-working time appears. Here are some examples of different timescales:

 

 

 

 

These different timescales let you customize your project view for long and short term projects.
