Hours and Minutes as timeline feature in Gantt View
I need to map out a daily production schedule in Gantt format, but need the timeline to show hours and minutes instead of days/weeks/months.

I want to be able to make standardized work documents for changeovers/process information. I can't do that in smartsheet due to the lack of hours/minutes in the project sheets (I want to have the gantt chart to the right)
Of course I could do something like
- scale it with the days with 1 day = 1 hr and just ignore the wrong headers
- use conditional formatting with a helper column to jerry rig something together
- post a chart to a dashboard and use a report to have the data next to it
but it would be nice if I could just say a task is 5 hours right in the sheet and see it reflected with the correct formatting like I can with the days, and build task hierarchies/see the critical path

You can place the suffix H after your duration unit, but the smallest increment on the Gantt timeline is unfortunately DAYS.
I would like to see this changed also.

I also need the ability to see schedules to the minute. Lack of this capability makes Smartsheets ineffective as a cutover scheduling tool. Instead I'm using Microsoft Project. And because I can't use Smartsheets as a cutover scheduling tool I'm not using it at all. Which means I will likely end my subscription.

I would like that also. I've put in a feature request.

I love that I can enter down to milliseconds (or decimal values of minutes, seconds, etc), but these are not very useful if I can't visualize the process. The smallest visualization of 1 day / 1 week is limiting. I need a zoom to show me incredibly short timeframes (some as small as 10ms, some as large as 3s).

I would love being able to put minutes and hours in the Gantt visual.

It would be great if we can put hours and/or min to the timeline view of the dayβ¦

This is a needed feature for some of the more technical aspects of project management like go-live tasks when launching software or pushing platform updates. My current need that had me seeking this functionality is to build a "schedule of scheduled jobs" to track when our various connected systems run:
- Data extract refreshes (Tableau to Smartsheet - because the live connection is still VERY problematic)
- Data model rebuilds (dbt)
- Data pipeline tasks
- Data refresh schedule from external sources (weather & regulatory agencies)
- Scheduled Tableau alerts
- Manual tasks with hard deadlines (e.g. - manual data entry by X:00am followed by manual QA/QC of entered data by XX:00am)
I'd love to be able to enter this in grid view (for simplicity) then be able to quickly switch to Gantt view so my project team & stakeholders can clearly see dependencies.

This would be useful to me as well: hour-by-hour Gantt charts, that also span longer periods (days). For example, outline a weeklong workshop, or a construction project, or a concert.
-
This has been requested before, but it would be hugely useful for Gantt charts to have the options of smaller granularity of time. For me, minutes would be enough, but for others, even seconds could be useful. But for example, planning a concert, or complicated construction project, or a week-long intensive workshop would benefit from this.
While I'm here, I would prefer templates to be without dummy data that must be deleted.
