Reverse Engineering a Timeline

Mike Sferrazza

Is there an easy way to reverse a timeline that was originally based off of a start date, but should be based on the end date? We plan a lot of meetings where the meeting dates are always moving and we want to adjust the way we have our timelines so we can change the meeting date and Smartsheet can fill in the dates of the tasks leading up to the meeting so we can see when the planning process should begin. I understand the Start-to-Finish (SF) feature, but I don't want to waste my time reversing each task if there is a simple "push of a button" way to do this.

 

Thanks all!

There isn't (an easy way to do this).

Hi Mike,

 

There isn't a one-button solution to automatically reverse a Gantt timeline but I've got your vote down for this on our enhancement request list.

 

Dates and dependencies will need to be manually readjusted to get the effect you need.
