Tasks & Subtasks

What it is: Create tasks with start/end dates, notes, and % complete. Use subtasks to structure work under a parent task so ownership and progress are clear.

1. Click + Add task → enter Name, Start, End.


2. Open the task panel to add Notes and set % complete.

3. For hierarchy, choose Add subtask under a parent task and fill the fields.


4. Drag task bars on the timeline to adjust dates.

• Good to know: Keep names short; move detail into Notes. Update % complete to make status obvious at a glance.

Common Questions

Can I track progress on each task?

Yes, set % complete in the task panel.

Can I rearrange dates quickly?

Yes, drag the task bar to shift Start/End.

Duplicate a task

What it is: Quickly create a copy of an existing task instead of rebuilding it from scratch — useful for recurring or similar pieces of work.

1. Select the task you want to copy by clicking its row in the Gantt chart.
2. In the toolbar, click Clone.
3. In the dialog, the original task name is pre-filled. Rename the copy if you want.
4. Click Validate to create the duplicate (or Cancel to discard).

Good to know: The copy keeps the original task's participants (resources), dates, and progress, but it does not copy dependencies (predecessor links). You set those again on the new task if needed.

Note: If you click Clone without selecting a task first, you'll be prompted to "Please select a task in your Gantt chart".

Task status (automatic)

What it is: The Status column is calculated for you from the task's % complete — there is no status to fill in by hand.

• 0% → To do
• 1–99% → In progress
• 100% → Done

Good to know: To move a task between statuses, just update its % complete in the task panel. The Status column updates automatically.

Right-click menu and Expand / Collapse

Right-click a task row to open its context menu, which gives quick access to:

• Task Information — open the task to view or edit its details.
• Delete Task — remove the selected task.
• Add — add a new task.
• Delete Dependency — remove a dependency (predecessor link) on the task.

Tip: When your plan contains subtasks, Expand all and Collapse all buttons appear in the toolbar so you can open or fold the whole hierarchy in one click.
