The Gantt Chart provides a powerful, visual way to plan, track, and manage project tasks over time. This view improves project visibility, enables smarter scheduling, and supports stronger collaboration by allowing teams to view tasks on a timeline, manage dependencies, and make real-time adjustments as plans evolve.
Accessing the Gantt Chart
You can access the Gantt Chart directly from the Project > Tasks page.
Use the option in the top-right corner to switch between the standard List View and the Gantt View.
Timeline Visualization
The Gantt Chart displays your project tasks across a visual timeline.
The timeline is shown in weekly intervals, with individual days visible within each week.
Tasks are automatically ordered chronologically by start date, so work appears in sequence.
Each task appears as a timeline bar, with its color indicating the task’s status.
The Task Info panel on the left is resizable. Drag the panel border to adjust how much space is dedicated to task details vs. the timeline.
Viewing & Editing Tasks on the Timeline
You can interact with tasks directly on the timeline for fast and intuitive scheduling.
Open a task
Click the task name or task bar to open the task’s details in a new browser tab.
Reschedule a task
You can update a task’s dates by:
Dragging the entire bar to move both start and end dates at once.
Extending or shortening either edge to increase or decrease the task duration.
Scheduling tasks without dates
Unscheduled tasks appear at the bottom of the list.
To schedule one:
Click any date on the timeline.
A one-day task bar will appear.
Drag to adjust the start date or extend the duration as needed.
Managing Task Dependencies
Dependencies show how tasks relate to each other—specifically, which tasks must be completed before others can begin.
How dependencies appear
Solid lines indicate active dependencies between tasks.
Dotted lines appear when at least one of the connected tasks is completed.
A dependency icon on the task bar shows that the task has at least one dependency.
Viewing or removing dependencies
Click the dependency icon on a task bar to open a menu where you can:
View all dependencies associated with the task.
Remove a dependency by clicking the × next to its name.
Creating New Dependencies
You can create dependencies visually by drawing a connection between tasks.
To create a dependency:
Locate the right-side node on the task that blocks another task.
Click and drag the connector line from this node.
Drop it onto the task that is blocked.
Example:
If Task A must be completed before Task B can begin, start the connection from Task A and drop it onto Task B.
Clicking the Date Shifting setting opens a short modal with two options:
Shift maintaining date buffer (Preserve the amount of time between tasks. This skips weekends.)
No shifting (No dependencies will shift with the task)
Date shifting is OFF by default
This setting is saved per project, not globally
Date Shifting
Admins and Project Owners will see a Date Shifting setting in the top-right of the Project Tasks Gantt view. These are the same roles that can trigger dependency shifting from the task detail page.
This setting allows them to choose whether dependent tasks should automatically shift when a connected task is rescheduled in the Gantt.
How It Works
Clicking the Date Shifting setting opens a short modal with two options:
Shift maintaining date buffer (Preserve the amount of time between tasks. This skips weekends.)
No shifting (No dependencies will shift with the task)
Date shifting is OFF by default
This setting is saved per project, not globally
Shifting Logic
Buffers between tasks are maintained
Example: If there is a 1 business day gap between Task A and Task B, that buffer remains intact after shifting
Weekends are skipped
If a shifted task would land on a weekend, it moves to the next closest business day
Because weekends are visible on the Gantt chart, tasks may appear to “jump” or extend when shifted to the next business day.
Completed tasks do not shift
