Gantt Designer is under continuous improvement. If you have ideas on what would be useful features, we would be glad to hear from you.
Before you submit your idea, please go through the list of other suggestions below. If your idea has already been put forward by someone else, you can vote for it.
| No | Proposer | Feature Description | Votes |
| 1 | Far From Maddening Crowd | More bar styles, lots more | 2 |
| 2 | King Kong | Separate fonts for every cell | 2 |
| 3 | Anon | OLE copy and paste into Word | 3 |
| 4 | New User | Undo / Redo Multi-level undo/redo | 24 |
| 5 | New User | Option to have second level of sub-tasking (indentation) | 32 |
| 6 | New User | Option to have more than one predecessor for a task | 22 |
| 7 | John | Keep it simple. Hi, I've been looking for a program like this for the last year. Its perfect for my superintendents in the field. | 5 |
| 8 | Scott | I find working from start dates much less useful than working backwards from end dates. Empowering the end date as the determining factor is often more effective in project planning. I think allowing the end date to be priority, and then having the software compute the necessary start date would be an added advantage. | 12 |
| 9 | Scott | BEing able to select a rolled up task or series of roll ups (as in a complete project) into a spreadsheet would be useful for assigning workloads to various resources. That way, both a graphical representation and a textual one would be available and very practical. | 3 |
| 10 | Tom | The ability to change several "Time Bar Details" at the same time instead of individually. | 4 |
| 11 | Don | Allow time period by hour and ¼ hour or 10 minute increments. Useful for maintenance planning, one day projects where detailed planning is needed.
Top row could by day or hour Middle row hour or portion of hour | 6 |
| 12 | Andele | Planning on individual non working days. We do not normally work on saturdays and sundays, but sometimes a task has to be done on a specific saturday. It would be useful if you could designate a specific non working day as a working day for a specific task. | 7 |
| 13 | Damon | 13 | |
| 14 | Tom | 2 | |
| 15 | brenbart | Make time intervals configurable. Extend the intervals from Year/Month/Day to include hour/minute and week. I wanted to use Gantt Designer to model the batch jobs that run from the crontab file on a UNIX server. Cron schedules have a minute, hour, day of month, month and day of week settings. | 3 |
| 16 | Ron | 1 | |
| 17 | Bo | 5 | |
| 18 | Tor | Increase project duration - I need longer projects, with Years as Major Timescale and Qarters or Months as Minor timescales. | 4 |
| 19 | James | 1 | |
| 20 | Mike | Tracking of Actuals & Critical Path: Would like to see the capability to track actuals vs planned on the same gantt, as well as do critical path analysis like with MS Project. | 3 |
| 21 | Maku | 3 | |
| 22 | Bo | 6 | |
| 23 | Brandon | Unlimited sub tasks | 5 |
| 24 | Simon | Sorting and filtering: I would like to have the ability to filter on columns like in excel. This gives the ability to create user views when working on large projects with several hunderds of tasks. | 3 |
| 25 | Simon | I would like to have the ability to store default group layouts. F.i. when maintaining software it goes through several stages. If you could store the layout of these these stages as a group, I could enter several maintenace tasks in a whipp. | 1 |
| 26 | Davis | The ability to hide (or roll up) sub tasks into their main parent task and thus hiding them from view would provide for a much cleaner presentation (when sub tasks are not necessarily needed to be displayed). | 6 |
| 27 | Graham | Allow multiple rows to be selected to allow quicker re-formatting of task bars and text | 3 |
| 28 | Maarten | Zoom: I miss an option to zoom in and out... like f.e. in Word you can zoom. sometimes i loose overview cos i describe my task in detail. All i then see is the task, and not how the tasks relates to other tasks in timeplanning. hmmn, not and easy clarification, but sure you'll understand! | 2 |
| 29 | Al | Allow year as top tier. At present with months as top tier, if many months then cannot see year (so need to just have months). Interim option would be to allow text wrapping in top tier so when displayed as month/year, the year would be visible on the next line | 3 |
| 30 | Anon | 8 | |
| 31 | AndM | I propose adapt this nice software for PDA. It will be mobile viewer for great project or list individual tasks from great project with milestones and task dependence | 2 |
| 32 | Mark | Add "Send To" or e-mail. This program is near perfect for my needs, simple direct and good looking. I would be able to send the file via e-mail to other users. | 1 |
| 33 | Phil | Resourcing. Being able to resource a task, i.e. associate an individual with a task and profile their allocated work hours for the project | 2 |
| 34 | Dunc | The ability to open an MS Project gantt chart. Just the basic chart would be sufficient don't need all the periferal data. Then save as Gantt Designer is fine. I could put to bed requests for MS Project. | 1 |
| 35 | Dunc | 1 | |
| 36 | Russ | Create a control for implementing in other .NET apps | 1 |
| 37 | Phil | Web Based Publishing and Editing Share schedule among users via web interface (or similiar) so multiple users can update / modify schedule at same time. | 1 |
| 38 | Ted | Change default row height. To resize the Gantt chart for printing, being able to change the default row (e.g. to 25) and being able to resize multiple rows at the same time would be very helpful. | 2 |
| 39 | Russell | To be able to asign a cost. Looks like being able to enter a cost for the task (and hopefully provide a total at the bottom of the column is in the future since there is a cost column now. The selection box for the cost is grayed out so I guess it is not working yet (unless I am missing something). I used this program on a recent construction project and found it great to work with and very helpfull. Thanks for making it available. | 1 |
