End date not accounting duration properly
I have a task with a duration of 12 hours. Smartsheet is showing the end date same as the start date - say, starts today and ends today. Secondly, a dependent task for the same resource has a duration of 4 hours. This should make the subsequent task start on the same day, but I see it start on the next day. (See graphic,…

Allocated Time % versus Duration
Can anyone tell me the correlation between Allocated Time % versus task duration? If I estimate that a task will take 2 days (16 working hours) to complete but then assign someone to it that only can work on it 50% of the time, why will the system automatically create a start and end dates that are consecutive days? Since…

Task Dependency Block View
Would be awesome to be able to see projects in a format like that used by Casual.pm. Gantt charts make it very easy to see how tasks lead to deadlines, and to identify critical paths, but they are not great at immediately showing how tasks depend on one another, nor the total number of processes in action at any given…

Blank Rows in Gantt - Automatically get populated by start date

My team often wants to work on yet another task, say task3 and have task3 worked in between task task1…

Mark which task is the deadline?
I have a set of tasks in a schedule to prepare for a software release - which is the ultimate goal and deadline we are working towards. I want to see the critical path for this release. But, I also have some tasks in the schedule of things that need to be done after the release, and Smartsheet is showing me the critical…

Setting milestone to Finish date?
Is there any way possible to set the milestone marker to the Finish date in a sheet? Right now, I'm still having to manually set the Duration column to "0" to get the milestone icon, but even when I do that, the date of the milestone gets set to the Start date.

Using multiple working days/resource schedules in the same project
Hello, As a construction PM, one of the functions I use most with SS is the Gantt style programming. I have multiple crews on the same project/in the same sheet, but the issue I have is they each have a different working schedule - for example night shift is Sunday to Thursday night, day shift is Monday to Friday, and some…
