Project scheduling on the Gantt chart

Written by Alex Johnson

See all project work across time and control sequencing with dependencies.

Open the Gantt

  • Project → Schedule. Choose Day/Week/Month/Quarter views.

Create & link work

  1. Create or open work orders; each appears as a timeline bar.

  2. Click a bar → set Dependencies (e.g., “Start after [WO] finishes”).

  3. Add Child Work Orders for punch/warranty tasks that follow parent work.

  4. Click a bar’s pencil to adjust dates or open the work order.

Tips

  • Use wide date ranges when external prerequisites exist (inspections, permits).

  • Add Labels like “Permit pending” for visual call‑outs.

  • Combine the Gantt with the Workflow board for day‑to‑day execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Work not appearing? Confirm the work order is attached to the project and has dates.
