Project Start Day

Gantt
#1

Hi there,
On MS Project the user can change/define the Project Start day so all task will start on that defined date, please see picture below.
My question is: Is there any feature like that available on the Gantt. If not, how can I do that?

Thanks for your support.

Hello,
You can define the date when the projects and the tasks without predecessors will start with the help of gantt.config.project_start configuration. There is an article about it:
https://docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/api__gantt_project_start_config.html
The value of this config can be used when auto scheduling is enabled:
https://docs.dhtmlx.com/gantt/desktop__auto_scheduling.html
To use the auto scheduling:


gantt.plugins({
    auto_scheduling: true
});
gantt.config.auto_scheduling = true;
gantt.config.auto_scheduling_strict = true;

Please check the following examples:
