About This Feature
Overview
Gantt Chart Settings is a timeline configuration feature in the Android Gantt view for multidimensional tables. It lets you assign a start date field and an end date field to tasks, then review project schedules on a timeline.
Core capabilities include:
- Configure Gantt fields: assign the start date field and end date field for the Gantt view.
- Adjust task timing: drag a task bar to change the start date, end date, or the full schedule range.
This feature is useful for project scheduling, task follow-up, and team collaboration. After you adjust a task bar, the related date values sync back to the corresponding fields in the table.

| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you set start and end date fields in Gantt view and drag task bars to adjust task timing. | Microsoft Project Gantt Chart view shows tasks on a timeline with start and finish dates and can display task relationships. | Google Sheets timeline view uses date columns to build a timeline and can be viewed on Android or iOS devices. | Notion Timeline requires at least one database date property with a date range and displays projects on a timeline. | Adobe Workfront Gantt Chart shows task or project timelines and includes configurable display options. |
