A plan of the activities of the project can be created and managed in the Activities tab.

Gantt and tree view of the project activities

Activities can be managed in two different modes (or views). The gantt view is activated automatically when entering the Activities tab. It shows the tree of project activities (work breakdown structure) with their information and a gantt chart of them.

The gantt view is particularly suitable to manage the scheduling of project activities while the tree view is preferable to manage the work breakdown structure of them. It is possible to switch and from a view to the other with the TREE and GANTT commands.

Gantt view of the project activities

This view is appropriate to manage the scheduling of project activities. It works in grid mode and allows to manage many information about project activities in the grid. Additionally it shows the resulting gantt chart of the activities on the right side.

See the project activities information section for further details on available data and on how to manage them in grid.

The gantt chart is not a read only tool but it also allows to manage information. Here is a list of actions which is possible to perform on the gantt chart elements with the mouse.

Action How to
Move a project activities right and left Just pass over the project activity with your mouse and click the left mouse button. Now drag right or left. The system prompts for needed decisions if the project activity is linked to others (successors or predecessors).
Move project activities start right and left Just pass over the left side of the project activity with your mouse until a double sided arrow appears. Now click the left mouse button and drag right or left the project activity start border. The system prompts for needed decisions if the project activity is linked to others (successors or predecessors).
Move project activities end right and left Just pass over the right side of the project activity with your mouse until a double sided arrow appears. Now click the left mouse button and drag right or left the project activity end border. The system prompts for needed decisions if the project activity is linked to others (successors or predecessors).
Create links between two project activities In order to create a link (predecessor - successor) between two project activities, pass over the project activity with your use, click the left mouse button and to the target project activity (successor). Release when the target project activity is highlighted. A predecessor - successor relationship is created or the system prompts if decisions are needed (in order to manage constraints). The relationship may be of one of the following types: "end-start (fs)", "end-end (ff)", "start-start (ss)", "start-end (sf)". This depends on the position of the mouse on the start and end project activities when the mouse is clicked and released.
Relationship type Use of the mouse to create the relationship type
"end-start (fs)" Start to drag on the right side of the predecessor project activity and stop dragging on the left side of the successor project activity.
"end-end (ff)" Start to drag on the right side of the predecessor project activity and stop dragging on the right side of the successor project activity.
"start-start (ss)" Start to drag on the left side of the predecessor project activity and stop dragging on the left side of the successor project activity.
"start-end (sf)" Start to drag on the left side of the predecessor project activity and stop dragging on the right side of the successor project activity.
Zoom gantt timescale By positioning the mouse on the gantt timescale, it is possible to zoom in (larger timescale) with the left mouse button or zoom out (smaller timescale) with the right mouse button.

Many actions, including saving data, can be done using the grid mode commands. See the dedicated section for more information.

Additional actions can be done by using the command button on the screen as described below.

Command Action
ADD NEW Allows to add a new project activity with the detailed project activity editing form. Quick adding of a project activity is also possible in grid mode.
EMPTY TEMPLATE Allow to download a predefined and empty spreadsheet file, in excel format, which can be used to add and upload project activities
IMPORT EXCEL It allows to choose an excel file (previously saved, e.g. with the EMPTY TEMPLATE command) and upload its content, thus updating or adding project activities. The system checks the correct format of data and tries the reconciliation with existing data. It prompts for decisions accordingly.
TREE This aommand llows to pass to project activities tree view.
GANTT This command allows to pass to the project activities gantt view.
FULL SCREEN MODE It allows to edit project activities (current view) full screen. A new browser card is opened.
FILTER It allows to filter project activities. For more information about filter management, please have a look to the dedicated section.
DROP FILTER This command allows to remove any filter applied to the project activities list.

Finally, see the dedicated Project activities information paragraph for more details on how to edit tree view grid contents.
