Gantt

The Gantt format displays records with start and end dates as horizontal bars on a timeline. Use it to plan schedules, track progress, and see how tasks relate to one another.

Timeline layout​

The Gantt view splits the screen into two synchronized panels:

  • List panel - a table of records on the left, showing key fields such as title, dates, and assignee
  • Timeline panel - horizontal bars on the right, drawn against a time axis
  • Vertical sync - scrolling either panel keeps the other in step, so the bar always lines up with its row

Working with bars​

You interact with the timeline directly:

  • Open a record - click any bar to open the full record view
  • Reschedule - drag an entire bar left or right to move it to new dates
  • Change duration - drag either edge of a bar to extend or shorten it
  • Zero-duration items - milestones and other records with no duration appear as diamond markers on the timeline

Zoom levels​

Use the zoom controls above the timeline to switch the time scale:

  • Hour
  • Day
  • Week
  • Month
  • Quarter
  • Year

Choose a narrow zoom to plan daily work or a wide zoom to review a quarterly roadmap. Quick-scroll buttons let you jump forward or backward without manually scrolling.

Dependencies​

The Gantt view can draw lines between bars to show task dependencies. These lines indicate which records must finish before others can start, giving you a visual map of the critical path through a project.

Scheduling constraints​

Some records carry a must-start-on date - a fixed scheduling constraint that prevents the task from being moved. These bars behave differently when you try to drag them, keeping the project plan anchored to hard deadlines.

Visual styling​

Bars adapt their appearance to convey extra information:

  • Colors and icons - different record types or states can use distinct colors and icons
  • Dotted borders - indicate a specific task category or status at a glance
  • Dark and light themes - the Gantt view follows the application theme, so it looks consistent in either mode

Shared list features​

Like the table, boards, and calendar formats, the Gantt view supports:

  • Faceted filtering to narrow the visible records
  • Column configuration to control which fields appear in the list panel
  • Export to take data out of the platform
  • List view settings to save and reuse a particular configuration

Select the Gantt format from the list format picker at the top of any list that contains date-based records.
