Feature request: Show deadline and other bar annotations

Gantt
#1

I am trying to replace Microsoft Project.

My users want to use DHTMLX Gantt to level their workloads. I can put the field “deadline_date” into each task and display it in the table but I cannot find a way to display it on the bar.

This falls into the more general requirement of bar annotation. As I am sure you know that Microsoft project allows several annotations. Personally I use,

  • deadline
  • text to right of bar

alot.

Kind regards,
James

You can use templates to define right and left text blocks
Please check docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/desktop__t … _task.html

Hi,
regarding deadlines, you can add a DOM element for a deadline into the task html, and move it to right place using absolute positioning.
docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/api__gantt … mdate.html
docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/api__gantt … plate.html

You can use the similar aproach that has been used to display the child tasks inside the projects, described in this post

Great support from you both. (Sorry the first question was an RTFM).

I will have a go and then get back to you.
