Gantt LWC - How to Print a Project

Last Modified On: March 10, 2026

Printing your project in Inspire Planner is quick and easy. When you print a project, it is first exported as either a PDF or PNG file. You can then print a physical copy, share the file electronically, or insert the image into presentations and other documents.

The print feature allows you to customize how your project is displayed before exporting. For example, you can select which columns and rows to include, choose the paper size and orientation, and define the Gantt chart date range to focus on a specific portion of your project timeline.

This article walks you through the steps to configure your print settings and export your project for printing or sharing.

Please note: 

• If you are using Chrome or Firefox, please set it to allow pop-ups.
   
• Please ensure that your browser zoom setting is set to 100% before printing.
   
• The print settings described in this help article are specific to the Gantt LWC and are not available in Gantt Visualforce.
   
• This help article has been adjusted to reflect the changes coming with Inspire Planner's MAR 2026 MAJOR release scheduled to be deployed to production environments on March 24, 2026.

Print Your Project

To print the project plan, click on the Print Project Plan icon located in the Project Toolbar.
 

A Print Settings dialogue will display where you can set your print preferences.

Note: To simplify the print workflow and align the behavior across components, several print settings have been standardized as part of Inspire Planner's MAR 2026 Major release, and unnecessary options have been removed from the print dialog.

• Columns

Select which project columns to include in the printout. Custom fields can also be selected.

• Paper Format

Specify the paper size for the printout.

• Orientation

Choose between Portrait or Landscape (default).

• Include Header

When enabled, a header is displayed at the top of each page. The header includes your Company Logo, Project Name, and Project Manager (Owner).

To learn how to add a company logo, see Add a Company Logo to your Print Header.

• Rows

Choose which rows to include in the printout.

• All Rows – Includes all rows in the project.
• Visible Rows – Includes only rows currently visible on screen. For example, if parent tasks are collapsed and child tasks are hidden, only the parent tasks will appear in the printout.

• Gantt Chart Range

Select the portion of the project timeline to include.

• Complete Schedule – Prints the full project timeline. The Gantt zoom level is automatically adjusted to ensure the schedule renders correctly.
• Date Range – Allows you to specify a date range to include in the printout. This is useful for large projects that span multiple years (for example, printing only the current year). The system automatically adjusts the zoom level to ensure the schedule displays correctly. As a result, the printed output may include a broader timeframe, such as the entire year containing the selected date range.

• Pagination

Automatically set to Multiple Pages (Vertical). If the project cannot fit on a single page, it will be split across multiple pages. The system automatically adjusts the task list columns and Gantt chart to fit vertically.

• File Format

Select the export format.

• PDF – Best for printing or sharing electronically (for example, as an email attachment).
• PNG – Downloads the project as an image file. This is useful if you want to insert the project into documents or presentations as an image.

Once you've specified your print settings, click on Export. Inspire Planner will then export the project in the format you chose (PDF or PNG). You will be prompted to download the file and save it into a local folder.

How to Print Only the Task List or Only the Gantt Chart

It is possible to only print the task list or the Gantt Chart.

To print only the task list and not the Gantt Chart, simply close/hide the Gantt chart before clicking on the Print Project Plan icon. You can hide the Gantt chart by clicking on the Hide Gantt Chart icon.

When the Gantt chart is hidden, then Inspire Planner ignores the Gantt Chart Range setting in the Print Settings dialogue.

To print only the Gantt chart and not the task list, simply close/hide the task list before clicking on the Print Project Plan icon. You can hide the task list by clicking on the Hide Task List icon in the project toolbar.

When the task list is hidden, then Inspire Planner ignores the column setting in the Print Settings dialogue.

How to Hide the Task Subject in the Gantt Chart

If you don't want to display the task subject beside the task bars in the Gantt chart, you can choose to hide them by clicking on the Hide Task Subject icon in the Gantt Toolbar. This will hide the task subject in the Gantt chart and will also exclude it when printing projects. Do this before you click on the Print Project Plan icon.
