Product: Process Gantt visual for Power BI v2.0.1.4
Related Product Version: 2.0.1.4
Last Updated: April 03, 2025
This release note compares the Process Gantt visual v2.0.1.4 with the now deprecated SCvation-Gantt-Basic visual v1.1.3.14 and does therefore not include any features that were already available before. Please note that this release is a major breaking change: replacing a SCvation-Gantt-Basic visualization with a Process Gantt visualization in your report will not carry over any previously set configuration options and may remove fields from the dropzone.
New features
- Automatic locale-based formatting: timestamps, tooltips, decimal numbers and dates now always use the format from Power BI’s current locale; manual regional format options were removed.
- Automatically determined display units for duration values, with new “auto (min)”/”auto (max)” options for Category and “auto” for Parent category.
- Added a legend explaining the 5 different formats (Category: Past, Active, Future, Error; and Parent category).
- Display duration value units next to the duration value.
- Axis total number unit can be displayed next to the value.
- Y-Axis alignment: labels can now be aligned left or right.
- Round corners for Categories/Parent categories, configurable individually.
- Parent category collapse toggle style options: +/- symbols, with or without frame.
- Transparency slider added for most individual elements (bars, lines, labels, title, duration values, axis, …).
- X-Axis position: top or bottom of the visual.
- Current timestamp line formatting: style (dashed/dotted/solid), width, color and transparency.
- Current timestamp label: shows current datetime or custom text, configurable style and alignment, with its own background/border formatting and hover behavior.
- Added a landing page with getting-started information.
- Vertical gridlines, configurable in style, color, width and transparency.
- Collapse all option for Parent categories on load/refresh.
- X-Axis line and label can now be disabled separately, with full style configuration for the line.
- Custom labels for the 4 Category bar configurations (past, active, future, error), shown in legend and tooltip.
- Parent categories can now be displayed as a bar or a line, each with its own default line width.
- Option to disable tooltips entirely; tooltips are now also shown when hovering over duration values.
Changed features
- Switched to the Power BI formatting pane for visual configuration; most options were renamed/reorganized, with no automatic migration from the old configuration structure.
- License Manager upgraded — old SCvation-Gantt-Basic keys are not compatible with the new visual.
- License and Data Limit notifications repositioned to the bottom of the visual.
- Watermark appearance slightly changed; only visible in the free version when limits are reached or licensed features are changed.
- Axis visibility split into 3 toggles (entire axis / axis scale-line / axis labels) for more granular control.
- The Data limit settings were moved to Advanced/Batch load, with “Data Limit: Number of” renamed to “Level” and “Data Limit: Count” renamed to “Batch size” (now freely configurable 1–1000).
- Error bar configuration moved below the Future bar configuration.
- Duration units changed from singular to plural.
- Events where both timestamps are missing are no longer drawn with the current date — they are simply not drawn.
Removed features
- Removed the regional format selection (Power BI’s regional setting is now used automatically).
Fixed bugs
- Fixed several filtering issues, including incorrect Category highlighting across Parent categories, filter state after re-clicking a label, and Parent category filtering via the duration value.
- Axis: fixed label overlap, misalignment with gridlines, incorrect leap-year handling, cut-off first timestamp, sub-millisecond step handling, and locale string formatting.
- Current Timestamp: no longer drawn outside the axis range; correctly converts to relative time when the axis uses relative time.
- Category / Parent category: fixed outward-scaling borders, overflowing duration values, and bar height not scaling with duration value size.
- Title: fixed font cut-off and disabled line wrapping.
- Watermark: fixed scaling issues across narrow/wide and tall/narrow visuals.
- Fixed date format issues caused by improper locale string implementation.
Other changes
- Increased the gap between Parent categories for better visual separation.
- Upgraded visual API version to 5.11.
