Set these properties in Administration > Configuration Properties .
Administration defaults apply system-wide. Once a widget is placed on a page, its own parameter values override these defaults. User preferences (zoom level, column widths) are saved in the browser and override both.

Default Client-Side Values The Gantt widget ships with these built-in client-side defaults:
