In a standard case of a 3 tier task outline, I have a
series of design, procurement, fabrication and testing
tasks as given at the bottom of this description. With
the arrangement below and 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, etc. as
linked tasks, the Gannt chart gives a nice sequential flow.
I would also like to have a simulataneous view that
groups, for example, just the PO tasks, so that I can see
their timing in isolation. one way to do this would be to
separately group these tasks and link them to the others,
but then there are long vertical lines on the Gannt chart
that make it confusing. Is there some method to have what
are essentially "ghosts" of the tasks placed in sequence
in the outline that retain their linked activity but can
be placed is a categorically separated format, if
possible, in the same view of the Gannt chart? For
example, in the outline below, I could have a summary task
of "procurement" and below it would be the duplication of
tasks 1.1.3, 1.2.3, ... 2.1.2, 2.2.2?
1. Develop prototypes
1.1 Components A Design
1.1.1 Develop detailed design A
1.1.2 Develop QA prodecures for A
1.1.3 PO for prototype A
1.1.4 Fabricate A
1.2 Components B Design
1.2.1 Develop detailed design B
1.2.2 Develop QA prodecures for B
...
...
2. Evaluate prototypes
2.1 Weld Test Comp A
2.1.1 Develop weld test plan A
2.1.2 PO for testing A
2.1.3 Test A
2.1.4 Weld quality evaluation/report
2.2 Weld Test Comp B
2.2.1 Develop weld test plan B
2.2.2 PO for testing B
