Gantt View for Projects

Interactive project planning with drag-and-drop scheduling, dependencies, zoom levels, exports, and smart task grouping

Video Demo

Key Features

1 Drag-and-Drop Scheduling

Move tasks directly on the timeline and update their planned start date, duration, name, and progress from the Gantt interface. The module writes changes back to the task record.

Plan tasks visually on a live timeline

Finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, start-to-finish

2 Task Dependencies

Create dependency links between project tasks from the chart. Dependencies are stored in Odoo with a unique relation per task pair and can also be managed from the task form.

3 Flexible Timeline Zoom

Switch between hour, day, week, month, quarter, and year views. Use previous, next, today, and zoom-to-fit controls to move through schedules quickly.

From hourly planning to yearly overview

Tasks grouped by project with collapsible rows

4 Project Grouping

Tasks are grouped under their projects for easier scanning. Project rows are visually separated and can be opened or collapsed in the Gantt tree.

5 Productivity Toolbar

Sort by name, date, or progress. Toggle grid panel, critical path, tooltips, progress labels, bar text, weekend highlights, dependency links, and fullscreen mode from the toolbar.

Persistent user preferences in the browser

Export chart SVG or task CSV

6 Export and Share

Export the visible Gantt chart as SVG or export task planning data as CSV with task name, start date, end date, duration, progress, and project.

Gantt View for Projects - Odoo 18 User Guide

1. Overview

2. Installation

  1. Drop the sm_gantt_view folder in your Odoo addons path.
  2. Restart Odoo and update the apps list.
  3. Install Gantt View for Projects from the Apps menu.

The module depends on Odoo Project, Web, and Project Enterprise because it replaces enterprise project Gantt view entries with the custom sm_gantt view.
