Add additional Gantt charts to a project
Overview: additional Gantt charts
Multiple Gantt charts per project let you organise different work streams, phases, or disciplines on separate timelines, which is used when design, construction, and commissioning schedules need to stay separate without losing the master plan.
For day-to-day schedule editing, see Manage Gantt Timeline / Schedule.
- Your role must be Manager or higher.
- You can find the menu at Gantt module - Tools - Add new Gantt instance.
- This creates an additional timeline. Removing a chart moves its tasks to the default timeline.
Each project starts with one default Gantt chart. Tasks can be moved between charts.
How to add additional Gantt charts
- Open your project and click Tools in the Gantt chart module.
- Select Add new Gantt instance (or the equivalent option in settings).
- Name the new timeline to match its purpose (for example Commissioning Phase or HVAC Works).
- Repeat as needed to create multiple charts.
Results: multiple Gantt charts
- All Gantt charts are visible from the project's Gantt module
- You can switch between charts without changing other schedules
- Removing a Gantt chart moves its tasks to the default timeline automatically
