Interactive Gantt in Celoxis provides a graphical overview of the project schedule. This is useful for the Project Manager to schedule his projects and keep track of them. The different features like the Export, Baseline, etc. help him with preparing and driving the project plan more efficiently. The Interactive Gantt chart can be used in 2 ways:
The individual columns on the Gantt allow you to enter/modify the data of the task.
You can drag-drop the slider left-right to only see a particular view for your projects.
The first time you access the Interactive Gantt of a project, you are presented with the below options to be configured. This is then remembered per person across all projects in Celoxis as a user preference. You can change this setting from the icon available on the right of the Interactive Gantt.
For Auto Scheduled tasks: Name, Start, Finish, Duration, Predecessors, Resources.
For Manually Scheduled tasks: Name, Start, Finish, Resources.
The incorrect dependency errors will be shown only when you click on Save.
For e.g. You set cyclic dependency between tasks, then the error will be displayed only when you hit Save.
The constraint conflict due to dependency will be shown only when you click on Save.
For e.g. when you set dependency between tasks and also add a constraint to a predecessor task whose date is early than the dependency dates, then the constraint violation error is shown only when you click on Save.
Navigating to other reports or options when you have unsaved changes on Interactive Gantt will show you a message that you have unsaved changes. Saving the changes or discarding them will then allow you to navigate to other options.
When you perform bulk actions such as Assign/Replace resource from Gantt menus, Update task progress from Gantt menus, add multiple tasks, etc these changes will be automatically saved.
Changes made from the "Gantt" and single edit screen are automatically saved.
When you try to perform any of the operations mentioned in c, d, e and you have unsaved changes on your Gantt, then you are prompted to saves those changes first before you proceed with those actions.
