By Employee :
In this field, you can see various employees and their successive planned working hours. On the other hand, you can’t directly view the project related to an employee but you can view the details through click on the plus button.
By Employee: Gantt View
This option displays the Gantt chart with the people assigned. Odoo’s Gantt chart shows you who’s involved; it gives you the big picture of the project. On the left side, the first level, you can view which users are involved. At the same time, on the second level, you view which projects they are assigned to. On the third, you see which tasks they’re on.
Each task is represented by a colored rectangle. The top rectangle on the first level is the sum of all the tasks compiled from the third level. If it’s green, it means that the total time allocated to that user is less than 100%. When it’s red, it means that this user is assigned to multiple tasks which total more than 100% of his/her time.
Gantt View is a view in which a series of rectangles shows the %Time of the projects. It simply gives a big picture of the project. Gantt view is also used in two views: By Employee and By Project.
By Project:
In this field, you can see various projects and their planned hours. Records can be filtered on the basis of Week, Month and Year. You can see the details by click on the plus button.
