This object lets you create tasks for a given project and displays them in a graphical timescale format in a Gantt chart. The fields configured in the Object Editor area are displayed here as shown in the below screenshot.
A text box with auto fill facility will appear for the custom list as shown above and when you type a few numbers or letters, all the matching items for the project will appear.
Hover over any of the coloured bars to see a quick summary.
Any changes done to the Project Table will be automatically updated in the Gantt chart in real-time and vice versa and once a Summary Task is completed, all its Child Tasks are auto updated and vice versa as well.
You can assign multiple resources to a task by clicking on the icon given on 'Responsible Person' column. You need to tick the staff which you need to allocate as resources and click 'OK'. You have to decide the primary resource by ticking the 'Primary' box and it is compulsory that you choose one. You can also see the percentage of involvement through the 'hours per day' which will be decided by the user (double click the 'Hours per day' box in order to edit the value'). See the example given below.
The icons above the Gantt chart can be used to add and delete tasks as necessary, along with many other functions.
