Progress

Enter a value between 0 and 100, to indicate the completion percentage of the task.

Group

If a Grouping field has been defined on the Tasks tab of the Gantt Chart form, select the name of the group that the task belongs to.

Sort

If a Sort field has been defined on the Tasks tab of the Gantt Chart form, the tasks will be sorted according to the values in that field and are sorted independently for each group (when a Grouping field has been defined). Select a Sort value.
