Feature inquiry

Dear Team,

Now I have a requirement to use Gantt chart for an application I’m working on. Dhtmlxgantt is really interesting, so please let me collect some info, for me to know that this tool is how far in align with the requirements of the application.

According to most samples, the charts are featuring PERT functions. So is it possible to be without PERT functions, i.e. to have more than one task in a row independently draggable along one row or from one row to the one up or down?

Is it possible to modify the appearance (not just color but the size and the shape, and even inserting graphical pieces such as icons inside) of each task (independently from the other tasks in the chart)?

Thanks a lot for taking your time.

Best regards,
Zaw Min Tun

to have more than one task in a row independently draggable
Not possible in case of gantt.
Look at timeline view of scheduler
docs.dhtmlx.com/scheduler/timeline_view.html

Is it possible to modify the appearance
Yes, you can change the styling and html content for all tasks or for separate ones. It can be done with templates.
docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/desktop__t … lates.html

Thanks a lot for the information.
Then I will check the Scheduler first, it’s more closer to what we need.

Can these be achieved in the Scheduler?
1: Drawing a line connecting two blocks (tasks) (if needed)? If it’s to extend, will it be too difficult?
2: If there are two div in the same page, is it possible to do the drag and drop between the two div? How about across the different pages?

Thanks & best regards,
Zaw Min Tun

(1) The scheduler can provide you the event, when link need to be rendered, and html elements of start and end event. So you will need to write the custom code, that will add an extra html element, representing the link. It will be simple if you will want to render just on the top of events, and quite complicated if you will want to have a complex line, which does not intercept any other event.

(2) With a bit of efforts - it is possible. The cross page drag-n-drop will work for modern browsers only ( latest FF and Chrome )

Unfortunately we don’t have any component that combines both - multiple events per row and lines between events.
