If you want to adjust your work package table and filter, sort or order your work packages to have a better overview in your Gantt chart, please refer to the section [work package table configuration](/../work-packages/work-package-table-configuration/).
## Multi project views
With the Gantt charts in OpenProject you can create project overarching timelines.
Create multi project timelines and display all activities, phases and milestones within your project and sub-projects. Also, you can create project overarching timelines by filtering and including respective projects in one joint plan.
To include sub-projects: within the parent project, click on the Filter button and select the subproject(s) you want to have included in your project plan. You can also choose an [aggregation by project](aggregation-by-project).
Use the filter and grouping options as for the [work packages table configuration](../work-packages/work-package-table-configuration/) to customize your timeline. Do not forget to [save your timeline](../work-packages/work-package-table-configuration/#save-work-package-views).
If you not only want to include sub-projects but different independent projects, choose the [global work packages view](../projects/#project-overarching-reports).
