Work in Blazor Gantt Chart Component
6 Mar 202312 minutes to read
The work is the total hours required to complete a task. Work can be mapped from the data source field using the property GanttTaskFields.Work. Work can be measured in Hour, Day, Minute. By default, work is measured in Hour and it can be changed by using the property WorkUnit.
NOTE
When the work field is mapped from the data source, the default task type will be
FixedWork.

}Task type
The work, duration and resource unit fields of a task depends upon each other and will change automatically on editing any one of these fields. But you can also set these field’s values as constant using the TaskType property. FixedUnit is the default TaskType. The following values can be set to the TaskType property.
- FixedDuration - Duration task field will remain constant while updating resource unit or work field.
- FixedWork - Work field will remain constant while updating resource unit or duration fields.
- FixedUnit - Resource units will remain constant while updating duration or work field.

}The following table explains how the work, duration, and resource unit fields will get updated on changing any of the fields
| Task Type | Changes in Duration | Changes in work | Changes in Resource Units |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed Duration | Updates work value | Updates Resource unit | Updates work value |
| Fixed Work | Updates Resource unit. Note: For manually scheduled task work will be updated. | Updates Duration value. Note: For manually scheduled task resource unit updates. | Updates Duration value. Note: For manually scheduled task work field updates. |
| Fixed Unit | Updates work value | Updates Duration value. Note: For manually scheduled task resource unit updates. | Updates Duration value. Note: For manually scheduled task work field updates. |
NOTE
Fixed Unit is the default TaskType in Gantt. The above calculations are not applicable for Milestones.
