View your jobs with a Gantt Chart

The Gantt Chart shows a historical timeline of the states your jobs went through as they ran. This page will provide information on how to view the progress of your jobs in the Gantt Chart and explain how to read it.

Accessing the Gantt Chart

When you are in your LabOps view, you can access the Gantt Chart view by clicking the "Gantt" button in the main navigation bar.

Using the Gantt Chart

The Gantt Chart view lets you view a historical timeline of completed jobs in your selected lab. By default, the Gantt Chart is set to a 12-hour window before "now," represented by a red dotted line with a blue tag. 

Each row represents a job and sorts the newest jobs to the top of the view. 

The Gantt Chart provides key information about your job, including:

  • Job Name - indicated on the left at the start of the row
  • Job Start and End Times - represented by the blue line that is capped with small circles 
  • Activity Information - represented in colored blocks to depict changes in job states 
  • Events Information - represented by icons to show key events that occurred 

Activity

The colored blocks indicate the job activity or the state of the job during that time:

  • Blue blocks indicate "RUNNING"
  • Yellow blocks indicate "ASSISTANCE NEEDED"
  • Red blocks indicate "ERROR"
  • Dark blue blocks indicate "PAUSED"

Gaps around the blocks indicate that the job was waiting for a resource to be available before it could continue.

 

To get additional details about an activity, you can hover over the activity. When hovering over a block, you will be able to see:

  • The full activity name
  • The exact start and end times for that activity
  • The duration of the activity 

Events

If one of the below events occurs, the corresponding icon will be added to the job's view:

timeline-spawn-circle Spawned child job
timeline-file-circle Uploaded file
timeline-cancelled-circle  Canceled
timeline-retry-circle Retried
timeline-skipped-circle Skipped
