Here is more detail about specifying a bar's timescale:

Depending on whether an activity layout or a tracking layout is displayed, the options vary for specifying the timeperiod represented by a Gantt Chart bar. Some timeperiods are available for both layout types. In activity layouts the bars represent dates for an activity; in tracking layouts, depending on the current view, bars may represent an EPS node, project, or WBS element.
