Prevent a milestone from moving, regardless of predecessors? (flexible lag time)
I have a milestone date in my timeline (0 day duration). I would like to link it to a predecessor that is currently scheduled to finish a few days before the milestone, however, when I add the predecessor (Finish-to-Start), it moves my milestone date! (Moves my milestone date earlier, to occur the day after my predecessor…

Setting date in Project profile data from Master intake form
Am I missing something? I've been trying to push the start date of a project from the intake sheet (via intake form date input field) without success. Upon spinning up the project in SCC, I get the error: * Failed to update template field(s) for "Project Profile Data" (Code: 5536 - Message: The value "04-27-2018" could not…

Limiting the dates that print in Smartsheet
I want to create a Smartsheet project that has a Start Date of July 1, 2019 and End Date of September 1, 2020. I want to set the timeline to Years/months. When I view or print it, I only want to see the months associated with 2019 and 2020 and I don't want to see any months in 2021. How do I do this? I can't hide the…

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
In Gantt format - I leave some rows blank to separate workstreams or buckets of work. But for whatever reason - Smartsheet goes and fills just the start date automatically in these row. I delete them, and then after I save, they come back again. They are harmless, but misleading and hurt the aesthetics of the chart. How…

Dependent tasks should not be forced to follow
Hi all, When 2 tasks are created and task2 is made dependent on task1, task2 is automatically moved so it follows directly the end date of task1, and there is no way I found so as to create a time gap between the 2 tasks. My team often wants to work on yet another task, say task3 and have task3 worked in between task task1…

Reports with Gantt Chart
Is there a way to create a report from a project plan that only shows the gantt chart? I don't want any other information than a visual of the gantt chart.
