How to Show Cash Flow on the Gantt Chart

Introduction

Easy Gantt allows you to visualize cash flow directly in your project timeline—if the Money plugin is installed. This feature displays planned incomes and expenses across time, helping project managers stay on top of financial performance alongside scheduling.

Note: The button appears only if the Money plugin is installed.

2. View Cash Flow on the Timeline

Editing Cash Flow

To change the displayed balances:
