Add Tasks and Milestones

A Gantt chart displays phases that are divided up into rows. These rows contain Tasks or Milestones.

You can add a new task or milestone to every row.

Click into the Gantt chart and then either select the option Add Task (Figure 867, “Options Add Task and Add Milestone” (1)) or Add Milestone (Figure 867, “Options Add Task and Add Milestone” (2)).

Your project plan will then update in accordance to your settings.

When hovering the mouse over Gantt objects and when moving objects (e.g. a task bar), information about the start, end, and duration of the task is displayed (Figure 868, “Task Information”).

The height of the task bar, as well as the size of milestones, is set automatically.

However, changes can be always done via the button Properties in the action bar.

You can always enlarge or shrink a task bar by dragging its endpoints.
