# Resource Gantt
In xViz Gantt Visualization, switch to Gantt Resource mode for a view tailored for resource planning and allocation.
The Gantt Resource Chart can also show the timeline of projects with multiple phases.
Consider having the following data of Task for projects, each with five stages and the start and end time execution in various phases.
Below is an example of the Gantt resource displaying the task and its phases. The below view gives a clear representation of the start-to-end execution time of all the tasks between multiple phases. The timeline bars have been color-coded by the phases.
The above view gives a clear representation of the start-to-end execution time of all the tasks between multiple phases. The timeline bars have been color-coded by the phases.
**Steps to configure:**
1. Data fields set up:
Insert the following columns in the **‘Task Name’** data field:
Category defining the rows – in this case, ‘**Task**.’
Category defining the phases in the timeline – in this case, ‘**phase**.’

2\. Configuration:
To plot the timeline bars related to one task in one line:
Go to the **Format Pane** -> **Chart Type** -> **GanttResource.**
3\. Formatting:
**Color coding of the timeline bars:**
Use the **Conditional** **formatting** feature from the **Advanced Editor**:
And define different rules for color-coding the timeline bars. You can set conditions for different chart elements like **Progress**, **Milestone**, **Timeline Bar** etc.
You can set conditions for different chart elements like **Progress**, **Milestone**, **Timeline Bar** etc. In the above example, phases of the same Task have been given the same color. You may choose to color code the bars based on Phases, instead of Tasks.

Conditional Formatting feature requires inserting minimum **one numeric data** in the visual.
{% endhint %}
To enable Conditional Formatting, can insert the measures/numeric data in the **Display** **Measure** Data Field. Further, you can disable the Measure from showing in the visual using Formatting Pane.
By using the toggle off/On options, we can disable the measure displaying from the visual using Formatting Pane.
