Moving orders and tasks

Moving is the heart of the planning board (sidebar → Desk, "Board" mode): grab a card, drag it to another column, done. Gantway reports "Moved successfully." and recalculates the conflicts automatically in the background.

When dragging doesn't work, it's almost always down to one of three rules:

1. The role

• Only Admin and Planner may drag order folders.
• Task cards may additionally be dragged by Team leaders.
• The Employee role moves nothing — it works through what's been planned.

2. The grouping

With grouping set to "Order status", dragging is switched off entirely. A status change is a deliberate decision with consequences (release, visibility for the team) — that happens in the order itself, not through a card slipped out of place.

3. The device

On the phone there is no dragging. Instead, each card offers the actions "Change station" and "Assign employee" — same effect, more precise on a small screen.

In the project overview Gantt

In "Project Overview" mode you move dates instead of columns. Admins and planners may do this there.

• Dragging the order bar moves all scheduled positions of the order together, in working days: weekends and public holidays do not count, and durations stay the same. The order's start and planned end follow the positions; the delivery date stays put. The edge of the order bar cannot be dragged — an order's start and end result from its positions. Orders without scheduled positions have no bar in the Gantt.
• Dragging a task bar moves that one position and pins it; Gantway pulls its successors along without pinning them. How to release a pin is described in How the cascade pulls dates along.
