Can I hide predecessor lines in a gantt chart?

I have a complicated project with tons of predecessors. The predecessor lines connecting tasks in the gantt view are so numerous that is makes the gantt visually hard to use. Is there are way to hide or turn off not the predecessors, but the predecessor lines?

Thanks!

Hi,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment to hide the predecessor lines, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

I agree this would be great functionality to have. At times the lines look too busy.

Has there been any progress on this feature?

I really need to turn this off in a few of my sheets too.

Absurd that you wouldn't have this. The gantt view for me goes from incredibly useful to not useful at all because dependency lines litter it with completely useless information from my perspective. Why isn't this an option????

The gantt view goes from really useful as tool for communicating work flow to being useless because of all the dependency lines! It's essential to be able to see the work flow without the clutter of all those lines.

I agree with Ed. This is a "must feature" ... I start not to like Smartsheet. It has great attributes but many small deficiencies that makes it less of a favorite.

Any updates Smartsheet?

Hola, también apoyo la solicitud de poder ocultar las líneas de dependencia en el Gantt. Ojalá puedan liberar la funcionalidad lo antes posible. Veo que está solicitado desde 2019. Saludos

Hello, I also support the request to be able to hide the dependency lines in the Gantt. Hopefully they can release the functionality as soon as possible. I see that it is requested since 2019. Regards

I agree. That would totally save time ! I lose huge mental energy to try to ignore these lines when too many.

How to Share Single Workspace Folder?
I have a workspace that I created with two subfolders. A user needs to have access to only one of them but when I have that folder selected, I can only share the entire workspace with them. Is there a secret way that I can share the parent folder and ensure that any new files created will be shared with the same people? I…
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports
I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
