Start and Stop Tasks / Breaks in Progress

Chris Keck

     I want to be able to reflect task start and stop dates within a project management sheet. For example, A task begins on Monday and work is done until Wednesday, but on Thursday work stops because of some unforeseen circumstance and the task is resumed and completed on Friday. As it stands I can show in a single row that it had a start date of Monday and finish date of Friday (duration of 5 days). 

     But what I want to show on my sheet is that there was no work done on Thursday, and the actual # of days of work to complete the task was only 4. How can I input a break of progress and have it reflected in a single row of Gantt?

If you want to show it on a single row -- you can't.

You'll either need to have 5 days duration with 80% allocation or split the task into two tasks (pre-Thursday, post-Thursday)

Can I drag & drop Gantt dates from a report?  If not what's the best way to move dates around while looking at several projects together.

When will this feature be included?  I started using smartsheets so I could stop using our ms project, but I still can't use it until this feature is included.
