# Hierarchy and Additional Columns

<figure><img src="/files/6KPk6NOgixkY3sFOkKfm" alt=""><figcaption><p><em>Image 1: xViz Gantt Chart with hierarchical structure and additional columns/measures</em></p></figcaption></figure>

### **Building the Hierarchy**

* The xViz Gantt Chart provides a hierarchy view of the projects/tasks/sub-tasks (or any other such hierarchy)
* Such hierarchies can be expanded/collapsed by report end-users as well
* To build the hierarchy, drag the columns in the '**Task Name**' data field in the required order

### Additional Columns

* Other than the hierarchy building columns, additional columns can be added in the data section of the Gantt Chart
* Add categorical columns in the '**Display Categorie**s' data field
* Add numeric columns/measures in the '**Display Measures**' data field
