Multiple
overlapping tasks using tri-level Gantt bar positioning
In addition to
Milestones' extensive selection of connector types and patterns, it is
also possible to position connectors on three different levels in
each task row. Use these tri-level Gantt bars to show overlapping
tasks, or to show baseline, actual, and planned dates.
Use connectors positioned at different levels
for overlapping tasks.
Up-and-over

down-and-under
connectors provide even more levels
