    </div>
</div>

Timeline

The JavaScript Gantt Chart supports different configurable timeline views such as hour, day, week, month, and year.


Types of relationships among tasks in JavaScript Gantt Chart.

Task scheduling and relationships

Users can easily plan and schedule tasks in both auto and manual mode to track their projects. Create relationships between different tasks in project management. When a project is complex and contains many tasks that depend on the completion of others, task dependencies enable you to decide when a task can be started or finished using finish-to-start, start-to-finish, start-to-start, and finish-to-finish task link types.


Critical path

The JavaScript Gantt Chart offers support for the critical path, representing a series of tasks that directly influence the calculated finish date of a project. If any task within the critical path is delayed, it leads to a delay in the timeline. This feature is particularly useful for managing projects with fixed deadlines, allowing users to identify and prioritize tasks crucial for timely delivery.

Split and merge tasks in JavaScript Gantt Chart.

Split and merge tasks

The split task feature allows users to split a task or interrupt the work during planned or unforeseen circumstances. It makes the view dynamic and interactive, improving the visualization of the project taskbar. Multiple segments can be split and merged within a taskbar.


Resource view

Visualize the list of tasks assigned to each resource in a hierarchical manner. Multiple tasks assigned to each resource can be visualized in a row when the records are in a collapsed state.

WBS column in JavaScript Gantt Chart.

Work breakdown structure (WBS) column

The WBS column organizes project tasks into a multilevel hierarchy by assigning unique codes to each task. This structure improves visibility and control over complex task relationships, making it well-suited for projects such as construction, enterprise systems, and large-scale software development.


Editing

The Gantt Chart provides full support to create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations. In addition to built-in editor controls to edit a particular column value, using template support users can create custom editor controls that suit their application needs. Users can also edit the tasks fields directly in their respective cells using a dialog or interactively using taskbars.


Filtering in JavaScript Gantt Chart.

Filtering

Data across all columns can be filtered using the filter option in each column and search option in the toolbar. It supports two filter types, Excel-like filter and menu filter. The Gantt Chart filter allows users to choose appropriate filter types, define their own custom filtering logic, and customize the filtering UI based on their application needs. Filtering with related parent or child records can be defined.


Undo redo

The Undo feature enables users to revert the most recent action performed in the Gantt Chart. Whether it is modifying tasks, adjusting dependencies, or any other action within the interface, the undo feature provides users with the ability to backtrack the changes as needed. Additionally, the redo feature complements the undo functionality by allowing users to reapply an action that was previously undone.
