JavaScript Gantt Chart - A Quick and Easy Task Scheduling Control

Task scheduling and relationships

Users can easily plan and schedule tasks in both auto and manual mode to track their projects. Create relationships between different tasks in project management. When a project is complex and contains many tasks that depend on the completion of others, task dependencies enable you to decide when a task can be started or finished using finish-to-start, start-to-finish, start-to-start, and finish-to-finish task link types.

Critical path

The JavaScript Gantt Chart offers support for a critical path, representing a series of tasks that directly influence the calculated finish date of a project. If any task within the critical path is delayed, it leads to a delay in the timeline. This feature is particularly useful for managing projects with fixed deadlines, allowing users to identify and prioritize tasks crucial for timely delivery.

Split and merge tasks

The split task feature allows users to split a task or interrupt the work during planned or unforeseen circumstances. It makes the view dynamic and interactive, improving the visualization of the project taskbar. Multiple segments can be split and merged within a taskbar.

Resource view

Visualize the list of tasks assigned to each resource in a hierarchical manner. Multiple tasks assigned to each resource can be visualized in a row when the records are in a collapsed state.

Work breakdown structure (WBS) column

The WBS column organizes project tasks into a multilevel hierarchy by assigning unique codes to each task. This structure improves visibility and control over complex task relationships, making it well-suited for projects such as construction, enterprise systems, and large-scale software development.

Filtering

Data can be filtered using the filter option in each column and search option in the toolbar. The component supports two filter types: Excel-like filters and menu filters. The Gantt Chart allows users to choose appropriate filter types, define their own custom filtering logic, and customize the filtering UI. Filtering with related parent or child records can be defined.

Undo and redo

The undo feature enables users to revert the most recent action performed in the Gantt Chart. The redo feature allows users to reapply an action that was previously undone.

Virtual scrolling

Virtual scrolling in the JavaScript Gantt Chart allows you to load large amounts of data without performance degradation. In row virtualization mode, all tasks are fetched initially from the data source and rendered in the DOM within a compact viewport area.

Frozen columns

Frozen columns stay fixed on the left, right, or both sides of the chart, while the rest of the content scrolls independently. This makes it easy to keep important task identifiers visible at all times.

Auto scroll to taskbar on row selection

Focus on the tasks that are not visible but scheduled later along the timeline by selecting their rows in the grid section.

Highlight days and events

Highlight important days or events in a project using event markers.
