It’s not really news.  TimeControl has had a GANTT / Barchart view as part of the product for many years.

In fact, there are a couple of places to see a barchart view in TimeControl.  The most available is often from each users MyAccount area where they can see their own tasks in either a Calendar or Barchart (GANTT) view.  For TimeControl users who have been given access to the Reports / GANTT view, they can view a barchart of their any charges they have been given access to.

For TimeControl Online users who have access to TimeControl Project, there are much more extensive methods of seeing a GANTT of either charge codes or Tasks.  In the case of tasks, there are easy to use drag and drop options to add, move, delete or edit tasks right in the barchart.  For charge codes, that’s a bit more restrictive as the charge code values for example the start and stop times might be critical to numerous other processes for both Project Management and Finance. The data is still viewable but changing the key data is controlled more stringently for Charge-Code lines than for Task lines.

There are numerous options for display including adjusting the visible fields, adjusting the scale and filtering of course but there’s even more.  The GANTT view includes an optional resource capacity heat map as displayed above.

A barchart view is only one way to look at data and, the more activities there are on the screen, the less productive this type of display is.  But that’s only one of the many ways TimeControl and TimeControl Project can display this kind of information and where the volume of data is appropriate, it can be the best graphical view possible.
