Dashboard Gantt Chart - Visualizing Variances
Hi ! My Dashboards are meant to visualize high level information on my portfolio of projects. One key is visualizing the project duration on a Gantt Chart from Inception to Completion (Project Start to Project Finish Date), which shows as a single bar connecting the two dates. However, the Gantt Chart in the dashboard is…

Synchronise Team Member Availability between Resource Management and Smartsheet
I have team members with part time availability, as specified in their Resource Management profile. Smartsheet allows me to schedule tasks for the days they are not working - the sync to Resource Management then displays "100% allocated for 0 Days" - the 0 days is due to this being a non-workday for that team member.…

Dependencies End Date Sets to Previous Day?
Hi! We have noticed that when Dependencies are on, filling an empty End Date cell (when the Start Date and Duration are also empty) with a date results in a cell value the day previous to the intended set date. Is this intentional, or is this a bug?

how do I add a calendar view in a Dashboard?
Hello - I have searched the community and have found a "work-around", but it doesn't work. I am trying to show a calendar view of a clients project on a client dashboard. I only want them to be able to see it. I don't want them to have any any interaction, just see it as a reference. Is this possible? Thank you. Jef

Weekend Workaround in Gantt Charts?
Hi Team, Has anyone found a workaround for not being able to pull dependancies from a separate sheet?

Gantt settings only permits setting work weeks for an entire sheet, so I have pulled those two…

Gantt Chart Predecessors
I recently came from construction scheduling where we used Buildertrend. Their Gannt charts were great to work with and easy to use. They had it where you would manually drag the predecessor arrow to the task that follows, it would stay in place, then you could adjust from there. I dislike how in smartsheet you can link…

Elapsed Days Counter - How?
Hi everyone, I'm needing to report on elapsed days for a few tasks. Anyone know how to do this? Note - this is different from the 'duration' function that already exists in the Gannt view. That is where I have a start and end date. In this example, I have a start date, but no end date quite yet. Any help is greatly…

Flexible Duration value when calculating scheduling dates
It would be useful for the Duration to be dynamic (e.g. linking cell to a cell in another sheet or to contain a formulae) as part of the scheduling calculation to automatically derive the start/end dates for tasks in a Gantt Chart. It is quite common in a construction project for the Duration element of a task to be based…

Multiple Critical Paths in Single Project
The last task/activity in my project plan is not the "end" of the project, or at least not the end that we care about for reporting purposes. I work in pharma, and our project sheets are tracking toward their NDA submissions, which is the "end" of the project that everyone cares about when it comes to executive reporting…
