Gantt basics

The Gantt shows your planning as a timeline. It follows a fixed principle: Hue = order · Shape = status · Red = disruptions only. If something is red, something is wrong. It is never decoration.

The legend

• "Open (scheduled)": the bar is waiting for its start
• "In progress — stripes = progress": the filled portion shows how far along
• "Done": completed
• "Milestone": a point in time instead of a duration
• "Disruption (conflict / deadline violation)": this is where red lives
• "Now axis": the golden line marks the current moment
• "Absence (hatched)": vacation or sickness, nobody can work here
• "Utilization (skyline) — red > 100%": the silhouette below shows how full a day is

Controls

Zoom levels: Hour, Day, Week, Month. With the arrow keys ←/→ you move the selected task by one day (with Shift by one week), Ctrl+Z/Ctrl+Y undo and redo changes. Moving requires write rights: in the order Gantt by default Admins, Planners and team leads, on the desk admins and planners. Everyone else only sees the Gantt.

The Gantt exists in two places: on the desk across many orders (sidebar Desk → toggle "Project Overview") and in the order detail for a single order (sidebar Orders → open the order → tab "Tasks" → button "Open Gantt view").

The delivery date in the Gantt

If an order has a delivery date, a dashed line marks it: grey with enough buffer, amber with at most 2 working days of buffer, red only once the planned end lies after it. Between the end of the last task and this line, a hatched area shows the buffer (green) or the overrun (red). The order's row shows the date ("→08.10.") and a badge with the working days of buffer (green, yellow at 2 days or fewer); when exceeded it is red with a plus sign ("+2d", or "!" if there is no working day in between), and the label "Due" appears at the line. Gantway counts the working days according to your company calendar, i.e. without public holidays and company holidays. Without a delivery date there is neither line nor badge.
