Our state of the art Gantt chart


Post by Surekha »

Hi Dev Team,
if suppose the task duration is 1 day and change it to two days and then allocate a person to the task the duration is again reset to 1 day. same way in the histogram the allocated hours for the task is not proper. have attached the screenshot of the issue.

In the 1 st picture we have not assigned any resource and have just increased the duration by one day. In the second picture, we have assigned a resource and you can see the duration has automatically changed to 0.5 from 1.5. how can we deal with this issue
and also in the third screenshot I would like to know on what basis the hrs are allocated in the histogram for the respective data (refer 2nd picture )

Long story short - when you assign a resource its calendars gets used by the task. Technically each task uses a combination of its own calendar and its assigned resource calendars.
But we need more details to say exactly what happens. A test case would be great.

Is that task effort driven ? If yes then its duration is meant to be recalculated automatically.

Also which scheduling mode the task has?

Hi Arcady,
We have used fixed effort as scheduling mode ,and yes it is effort driven

Ok. Then this is expected such tasks duration gets recalculated based on effort. The more resources you assign to it the less its duration will be.
Scheduling modes description can be seen here or in this guide
