# Introduction

The xViz Gantt Chart provides you with the option to display **Reference Lines** (based on dates) and **Reference Ranges** on the chart thereby giving an indication of where you are in the project and to assess the level of completeness.

**Reference Line** - A date line spanning across all the tasks. Configuration of one date will add the reference line on the Chart.

**Reference Band** - Range of continuous dates highlighted in the tasks. Configuring two dates ranges will be highlighted as a band in the chart.
