  • How have you made the project bars different colours, ie red and blue?

    Thanks

  • The colors are based on the current date. Anything that is past due (e.g. earlier than today) will appear as red whereas any current or future tasks will be blue.

    When you update the % Complete, a black bar fills in the space to give the proper representation (e.g. it will display 1/4 of the length of the image if the task is 25% complete).

  • Hey Viewpath, you should consider building an entire project management suite on top of Google App Engine / Docs / Wave.

  • Hey djmisfit - We are! Version 3 is under development and is being built on the Google App Engine.

    Thanks for the suggestion!

  • see 0:26 .... "designed to work with IE and FF"

    so ... google docs' gadget wont work on Chorme ? :)

    -- custom, I know, but still, bizzar

  • Excellent gadget!! I'm having two problems (running it on firefox 3.6.8). I believe I've followed the example in the video verbatim. 

    1. the chart does not update automatically when I change the data. If I switch back and forth between sheets, it updates.

    2. the predecessor lines do not appear in the chart

    Perhaps I did something wrong or there is a bug? Thx

see all

  • @yossibeck I know, you'd expect a custom plugin used for a google product would work on google's browser. :/

  • How Could I link some tasks with the previous one? Is it possible?

  • Thanks for making that Google Gantt Chart gadget. Just what I needed!

  • Hi DP - There is no print function on the Gantt Gadget. You can, however, use our robust project management tool for features like that. You can visit us at viewpath.com for details.

  • awesome tool. Im using it right now for my university project. How do I do a print-preview ?

    Im having to do a screenshot right now.

  • Hi Cheltenham - If you need assistance, please email us at ganttgadget@viewpath.net and one of our support reps will help you resolve whatever issue you are facing.

  • Great first impressions but frustrating to use in practice.

  • @gardenpainter2 I'm also experiencing the update issue. The chart does not refresh unless I go to a another tab and the switch back. Very tedious.
