To access this tab, go to View - Project - Project Register - Gantt Chart. Once you have created a new document and entered the required information, simply click the Create/merge button in order to open the Gantt chart. Here you can plan the duration of the project and divide it into sections. This way it will be easier to estimate the amount of time the project will take altogether.
