What is the Gantt View?
The Gantt view is a project timeline option that displays tasks in a traditional Gantt chart format. Each task appears as a horizontal bar that represents its duration in the timeline.
It’s designed for:
Planning and scheduling projects
Visualising task dependencies and timelines
Sharing project status with clients, stakeholders, and team members
Accessing the Gantt View
Open any project.
Click on the Timeline tab
Use the view switcher at the top to toggle between Gantt and Compact views
Key features
Display and Organisation
Each task has its own row in the timeline, visible when start and end dates are set. Lists, parent tasks, and subtasks are clearly structured in a hierarchy. You can collapse or expand lists and parent tasks to customise your view.
Planning and Scheduling
The planning and scheduling works similarly to the functions of the planner and project timeline.
You can drag unplanned tasks from the sidebar into the timeline (this only works for tasks that are not yet planned). Additionally, it is possible to create dependencies between tasks (finish-to-start): Task 1 must finish before Task 2 can begin.
You can move entire lists or parent tasks by drag and drop — all contained tasks move together.
Navigation and Export
Use the mini map to navigate quickly across the timeline.
The current viewport is always visible.
Click anywhere on the mini map to jump to that section.
Vertical scrolling: hold the space bar and drag with the left mouse button.
Auto-scrolling: when dragging tasks near the edges of the view, the screen scrolls automatically.
Export the Gantt view as SVG or PNG images.
Scroll into View Button
By clicking the Scroll into View Button in the sidebar of a task you can instantly jump to a selected task in the timeline.
Note
This function is available only in the Gantt view, not the regular timeline.
Auto-Adjust
Auto-Adjust automatically aligns a parent task’s start and end dates with its subtasks. This feature appears in the task detail and directly on the task bar.
When Auto-Adjust is activated, the parent task’s dates can only change through its subtasks. When Auto-Adjust is deactivated, which is the default setting, the parent task dates can be set manually.
The Move task and subtask button enables users to move the entire task package, including both the parent and its subtasks, to a specific start date or by a defined number of days.
