Gantt Chart


The Gantt chart is a convenient tool for managing tasks within projects. You can find it in the corresponding project tab.

Benefits of Using a Gantt Chart

With the Gantt chart, you can:

  • Easily adjust task deadlines visually.

  • Link tasks with dependencies.

Creating and Editing Tasks

To create a new task:

  1. Click the "+" button next to the project stage.

  2. A task creation panel will open, allowing you to enter the task name and assign it to a team member.

To edit an existing task:

  • Double-click the task row to open it for editing.

Task Status on the Chart:

  • Completed tasks: Marked in gray.

  • Active tasks: Marked in blue.

Adjusting Task Deadlines

To modify task deadlines:

  • Use the "boundary extension markers" (vertical dots) to adjust the task duration by dragging them.

  • To reschedule a task without changing its duration, drag the task itself to the desired date using the drag-and-drop method.

Linking Tasks

Task dependencies are helpful when one task must be completed before another can begin. A single task can lead to multiple dependent tasks.

To link tasks:

  1. Hover over the endpoint ("circle") of the first task.

  2. Click and hold the left mouse button, then drag a dashed line to the starting point of the dependent task.

To remove a link:

  • Double-click the dependency arrow, then confirm deletion in the popup window.

Gantt Chart Views

Above the diagram are icons for changing its appearance:

  1. Scale Buttons: Use the zoom in and zoom out buttons to change the chart's scale.
  2. Hide Grid: Hiding the table will expand the diagram's space, allowing for more information to be visible.
  3. Grouping: The Gantt chart can be structured by stages or by assignee. Choose the grouping method by clicking the grouping button.
  4. Gantt Settings: Click the gear icon to open a menu where you can choose which fields to display on the diagram.
