hi all,


I have a problem with relation to charting the progress of a nightly process. This process has roughly 1100 to 1200 'jobs' each night. I need to chart this using a gantt chart so you can see the progress throughout the night.

I can graph this quite easily for the 1200 'jobs' however as you can imagine it becomes very difficult to interpret what the task is, it just looks like a very black curve with a very narrow line, even when zoomed in. Each 'job' has a name which starts with for example 'ABCD9990', ABCD refers to a larger group of tasks. There is about 20 larger tasks, is it possible to group the smaller subtasks into their larger tasks and then graph that as a gantt chart? This would need to be automated as much as possible as well.
