Interactive Gantt modes (Since v6.5)
Interactive Gantt modes (Since v6.5)
Previous versions of the Interactive Gantt only had Auto save. Any change made automatically computed impacts on schedule if any. There was a huge demand for a Manual Save mode which we have introduced and is now the default save mode. In this mode every change is not sent to the server; rather you can make multiple changes and click on save, resulting in increased productivity.
- Enable Auto Save
As the name suggests, this mode will intelligently save your work as soon as you finish editing the columns in your Gantt. No need to click on Save every time you make changes to the project plan.
- Enable Manual Save
With this option, you can make changes you project plan and then click on Save. You can make multiple in-line edits and choose when you want to save them all. Impacts on schedule are computed on Save.
Following are the actions impacted by Manual Save:- 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 "Schedule" part of the Gantt then, the changes are automatically saved.
- Changes made from the 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 you Gantt, then you are prompted to saves those changes first before you proceed with those actions.
- The incorrect dependency errors will be shown only when you click on Save.
