Gantt chart

To accommodate for a more high-level, mid-term planning, the ‘Gantt chart’ functionality can be used on the planning board. The Gantt chart presents all work orders in a sequence and work orders in a Gantt view with date range options in one view. With this view, you can also see and create the dependencies between work orders.

To utilise this feature, make sure your project has work orders listed and navigate to Planning > Planning board > Gantt. Also now you have the option to multi-select and move work orders ( drag and drop ) in the Gantt chart to reflect those changes as they occur.   

The Gantt chart is fully editable, allowing you to make all necessary change from one place.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

• Custom date range
• Work orders and work order sequences
• Filter
• Drag & drop work orders
• Critical path
• Adding and removing work order connections

Custom date range

In order to set up a custom view in the Gantt view, you will first have to click on the "View button" and select 'Custom':

After selecting 'Custom', you can now select a custom date range in the date range selector.

Work orders and work order sequences

In the list on the left-hand side, you can view both work orders and work order sequences that have no planned dates. This list can be expanded or collapsed. If there are no unplanned work orders or sequences, a text will display the text "No unplanned work orders/sequences".

Filter

You can use the filter to search for specific work orders:

Drag & drop work orders

You can drag & drop unplanned work orders or sequences directly to the calendar view, which also gives you the option of changing the start and end time.
Also now you have the option to multi-select and move work orders ( drag and drop ) in the Gantt chart to reflect those changes as they occur.   

Critical path

To enable the Critical path, you have to click on the tick box for 'Critical path'. This will help you identify the work orders that will have an effect on your finish project date if they get delayed, depend on other delayed work orders, etc.

When enabling this, the work order which has the latest finish date will display the critical path by a red arrow between the work orders instead of a yellow line.

Extending or moving a task so it is either longer or shorter than another work order will automatically change the Critical path.

Adding and removing work order connections

When work orders are added to the view, you can add or remove connections between work orders.

To connect two different work orders, you will have to hover over the work order itself and use the 'circle' that appears, hold the mouse on it, and drag it to the work order you want to connect it to.

To disconnect the connection between two work orders, you double-click on the connection line, at which point, a message box will appear to confirm the disconnection.
