How-to Guide
1. Create a Gantt View
Entry point: Table screen → View List → “+”
- Open a DBSheet table.
- Tap View List in the lower-left area.
- In the view list, switch to an existing table view or tap + to create a new view.
- Select Gantt View.
- The table is displayed as a timeline-based Gantt view.
Success Criteria
- UI state: The current table switches to a timeline-style Gantt interface.
- Next actions: You can continue to Gantt settings and set date fields.
Tips While Using
- The table should contain date-related fields for a more complete timeline display.
- If you are still in a regular table view, switch again from the View List.
2. Set Start and End Date Fields
Entry point: Gantt View → lower-right Tools tab → Gantt Settings
- In Gantt View, tap the Tools tab in the lower-right area.
- Tap Gantt Settings.
- Set the start date field for the Gantt view.
- Set the end date field as needed.
- Return to the Gantt view and check whether task bars match the selected date range.
Success Criteria
- UI state: Task bars in the Gantt view align with the selected start and end date fields.
- Next actions: You can continue reviewing task spans on the timeline.
Tips While Using
- At least one date field is needed for the start date field.
- Setting both start and end date fields is recommended for a fuller timeline span.
3. Review the Gantt Timeline
Entry point: An existing Gantt view
- Open an existing Gantt view.
- Review the distribution of task bars on the timeline.
- Compare the start and end positions of each bar to confirm the task date range.
- Use the timeline result to check whether the schedule looks reasonable.
Success Criteria
- UI state: Tasks are displayed as timeline bars.
- Next actions: You can adjust date fields in the table or return to settings to refine the display.
Tips While Using
- If task bars do not display as expected, first check whether the start date field and end date field are set correctly.
- If only a start date field is set, the timeline span may be less complete.
