Planung & Einplanen

Gantt, Kaskade, Ressourcen und Verfügbarkeit.

  1. Gantt basics

    Hue, shape, red — the Gantt follows three simple rules. The legend explains them, plus zoom, keyboard and one difference between the two Gantt views.

  2. Setting dependencies

    "B doesn't start until A is finished" — this is how you chain work steps together. Where the dependency is set and what happens when you insert one into a chain.

  3. How the cascade pulls dates along

    When one step shifts, Gantway pulls all dependent dates along — under three conditions. Why follow-up dates sometimes do not move.

  4. Scheduling an order — suggestions and traffic light

    Gantway suggests dates on which your operation can actually get the work done. What the gate requires, what Quiet/Tight/Full mean and how to deliberately override conflicts.

  5. Team dock: reading utilization

    Who still has room? The team dock beneath the Gantt shows utilization — with a color logic that deliberately differs from the scheduling dialog.

  6. Assigning employees

    On the task or by dragging from the team dock — two ways to put someone on a task. From 90% weekly utilization, Gantway asks first.

  7. Baseline: freezing the target state

    Save the plan as a baseline before the project starts — and later see in the Gantt where reality diverges. Caution: updating overwrites.

  8. Backward planning: planning from the delivery date

    The delivery date is fixed, the start should follow: the backward planning mode calculates from the end — with one important quirk.

  9. Adjusting the Gantt view

    Fold the past, compress working hours, mini-map and WBS numbers: the display options in the View menu — and what's on by default.

  10. Filtering the Gantt — with saved presets

    Filter by station, employee, status and time period, dim the filtered-out rather than hide it — and save recurring filters as a preset.

  11. The resource view: utilization in full screen

    The Resources menu item shows the utilization of all employees on its own page — four weeks, zoomable, with hatched absences.
