Setup the sheet in Gantt View (w/ Baseline, predecessors,duration, Start Date, Finish Date, etc)

Using DV to update the activities finish date and actual % complete per assigned person.

But in DV you can't edit the finish date. Hope they can improve or add more features in DV that sheet setup in gantt can also be edited


Thanks

    In general, it is a roadblock to not be able to edit the end date (when it is set up as a project with durations) in anything else other than the actual sheet. It cannot be edited in reports or DV because its considered a formula. To edit the end date, we need to show the duration as a field and then edit that to change the end date... which is a bit of a game... I want to change the end date to 8/25, and my current duration is 20 days, so how many days do I need to add, accounting for weekends and holidays, to get the right end date.

    I am aware that being able to edit an end date without seeing the consequences to the rest of the project schedule (predecessors/ancestors) is problematic. Just thinking out loud here about a safe way to implement it... I don't know if there is a system field for 'float days', but if there were, that field could be displayed so that in a report I know I have 10 float days I can use before impacting the rest of the schedule. Beyond that a field that shows me total slippage to schedule as a field. So if I had 10 float days, and maybe there was another 5 float days on an ancestor task, and I moved the end date out 20 days, total impact to schedule is 5 days. Anyways... Yes, not being able to edit the end date outside the sheet is problematic.

    It would be great to have more flexibility in Dynamic View, allowing users to choose from a variety of layouts like Calendar, Board, Gantt, or Card—just like we can with sheets. This would make Dynamic View so much more useful, especially since it would let us share specific filtered views without revealing the underlying master data. With the right rules in place, we could customize what others see and do. Right now, being stuck with just the Grid View really limits what we can do, like using it as a proper Kanban board or tracking schedules across different departments. Expanding the view options would make a huge difference!

    The idea that Dynamic View allows the creation of data views for certain users that only shows them the data we want them to see is fantastic! Unfortunately it's unusable for us…

    It misses an opportunity to support Project & Portfolio Management (higher level communication)! The ability to better control project data visibility as Dynamic facilitates would be VERY helpful. Basically, if we could 💡 mirror Smartsheet Report functionality 💡, it would be just about perfect! Specifically (in order of added value):

    ➡️ Gantt view (with zoom in/out)

    ➡️ Sort & Group

    ➡️ Shared filters

    ➡️ Hyperlinks

    ➕ Auto-refresh

    ➕ Conditional Formatting
