Suggestion: Gant View Enhancements

[mikro]

Hi all,
I am working with Gant View frequently and would very much appreciate the following enhancements to improve readability und flexibility.

1.1) Option to show Task Name beside Gant shapes
Now there is the option to show the 'allocated to' beside the task shape.
It would be great to be able to show the 'Task Name' instead, like so:

1.2) Option to show Task Name beside Gant rollups

Same as above but seperately for the rollup bars.

2) Option to maintain the arrows of task links if group is collapsed as rollup
The improvement would be to give an option to keep the link arrows between task from diffrent groups showing even if collapsed as rollup.
At the moment the arrows are not drawn if the targeted task is collapsed in a rollup.

At the moment

collapsing the source tasks looks like this


Realy handy to illustrate large plans would be

3) Option the show shape text if group is collapsed as rollup
An option to maintain the text beside the gant shape would be great to reduce the space needed to show a larger projekt plan.

This Option should be seperately switchable for Milestones and Tasks because the Tasks Gant bar shapes plus the Name in one row will probably overlap often.

Options

1. Show in rollup and normal view

2. only if not shown as rollup

With these options it could look like this

Let me know what you think.
I would value these improvements very much!


cheers

I reorganized the suggestions above a bit and have one more idea.

4) Option to not draw Gant table info column

If  names can be displayed beside Tasks and Milestones the Details column to the left of the gant view would be redundant.

In this case it would be cool to be able just remove the columns from the graphical Export

;)

[.dan.g.]

They are all excellent ideas!

Can you also attach the tasklist shown in the screenshots please?

Hi Dan,

I recreated a short example Plan, see attachment.

And I reorganized the ideas above and added some for the fine polish ;)

What is your perspective on implementation?

Any Chance some of this is going to make it in the next release?

What about reading the "rule book" ?

And you are who?

Should mostly be done in 7.2.B8

Really? Amazing!

Can't wait to try it out! 8D

THX!

Be warned, it can produce quite a messy look when various things overlap other things.

This is good:

This is less so:

Dan

ps. I made the text background opaque because it was hard to read otherwise, but this is just experimental...

[mikro]

It actually works quite fine allready!

Spacing is an issue of course, but I have not seen a tool yet capabable of sorting a Project plan all on ist own ... nice work!

[.dan.g.]

What about the text background colour which currently obscures the task bar? I think I might get rid of it for now...

[mikro]

I have often used colored Background in Excel/RPlan to let the texts stand out a bit. Having them mix with the Task forms in the back i.m.o. often decreases readability.

Perhaps make it optional?

Is there a possibility to handle Milestones and Tasks differently?

Tasks an Texts do overlap more than Milestones and Texts, it could make sense to handle them differently.

Like Tasks having their texts centered, Milestone to the side.

Would it be possible to define Drawing 'Styles' and assign them to Taskgroups?

Like

- Group with Milestones has bold text and backcolor

- Group with main Tasks has centered text, no backcolor

- Group with crowds of Tasks has no texts, or even no Tasks and just the grouptaskbar
