Printable and time adjustable export of Gantt in Big Picture addon

[Alexander Raymukanov]

Is somebody succeded with usable Gantt chart export for printing in Big Picture addon?

Now addon is not usable for direct reporting on meetings with paper version of Gannt chart.
Even after installing useless for us Big Template and special libraries to have export to image, you cannot specify time range to print/export. I attached what I got if I have realy big gantt. It is not printable or usable. Export makes very long PDF-picture which cannot be normally printed.

It should allow select time range, select parameters to show and simply print it in image or pdf file as for example does Structure+Structure.Gantt addons through button "Export/Export Gantt Chart". It oppens following window to adjust export.

I have the same problem. How did you resolve it?

[Alexander Raymukanov]

I used big template and installed libraries according this site

https://wiki.softwareplant.com/display/DOCUMENTATION/Image+export+-+installation+and+configuration+of+Headless+Chrome

Than support helped me to find button on panel to choose time range. I dont know why I didnt find it myself, it is near all others.

But it is still not so comfortable to use as I expected, so now I try to use Structure and have plan to try JIra portfolio and other addons

Hey @Alexander Raymukanov ,

Did you try out the other plugins? What were your findings?

Hi @Stine Søndergaard ,

we finally settled on the structure + structure.gantt+structure.pages.

Hi @Stine Søndergaard

sorry for delay, structure works faster, has usefull functions that help us on daily  and weekly meetings (quick transformations, effectors, formula fields) .

It has enough good gantt chart  app with possibility to show history of plan parallel to actual state (baselines). It dont have all functions that we have, like to show work logged on gantt chart or automate chart calculation how we want.  At least calculation we can make based on automation for Jira and simple groovy scripts (now there is free mygroovy app and we dont need to pay for Scriptrunner)
