Gantt View
The Gantt view helps you inspect project timelines visually. It focuses on scheduled work, so it shows tasks with a start date or deadline and milestones with due dates.
Opening the Gantt view
Open Tasks in the app and switch the subview to Gantt. The chart opens with the current time period and loads the work that belongs to the visible range. If loading is interrupted, existing task data remains visible while the view reconnects.
What the chart shows
- Each task is shown as a scheduled bar using its stored start date and deadline when available
- Milestones are shown as milestone markers on their due date
- Dependencies between visible tasks are connected with lines
- Hovering a task highlights the visible dependency chain around it
- Tasks without any schedule dates are not shown in this view
Moving through time
Use the combined overview timeline scrubber to move the visible window to another period.
Use the period dropdown next to the visible date range if you want to jump straight to a day, week, month, 3-month, or Custom view. If you zoom the chart manually to a different span, the dropdown automatically switches to Custom until you pick one of the presets again.
Drag the scrubber body to pan across time, or drag its edges to zoom in and out.
Drag a task bar to move it. Drag either edge to change its start date or deadline. Hold Shift for strict whole-day snapping.
Use the always-visible scrollbars on the right and bottom edges of the chart to move through larger diagrams without returning to the top or corner first.
Hover or focus a shortened task name to read its complete title.
Changing schedules
If you can manage tasks in the current project, you can drag the whole task bar to move its schedule. Drag left edge if you want to resize only start date. Drag right edge if you want to resize only deadline. The chart saves those schedule changes back to the task automatically. Use the link action on a task bar if you want to add a visible dependency directly in the chart. Click a dependency line to inspect it and remove it when needed. Circular dependency chains are blocked automatically before the dependency is saved. If you only have view access, the chart stays read-only.
