BigGantt 8.6.0 Release notes
Change log in Gantt module
See and understand the history of changes made in your Gantt charts
Coordinating complex initiatives is becoming way easier. Now, you can track every change in every work item’s dates and date ranges and immediately understand the situation.
Undo option in the Gantt module
Reverse changes easily. Now, date and date range changes that you apply by drag-and-drop moving or resizing items on your Gantt chart can be easily reversed by clicking the Undo button. The button gets activated whenever you carry out an action that can be reversed. Convenient, isn’t it?
Hide greyed-out tasks in the Gantt module
Manage tasks on Gantt and Board modules with greater clarity. Be it agile management of agile initiatives in the Board module or classic projects on Gantt, now you can achieve a neat, informative view by hiding all irrelevant (filter-based greyed-out) items.
Bulk-moving tasks on Gantt
This UI improvement is here to save you a lot of time when editing your Gantt charts. You can move multiple items at once and they will all get updated in line with the system’s scheduling rules. Fewer repetitive actions - more time for actual management.
In-line editing of individual resources
Assign tasks to individual resources directly in BigGantt columns and task-detail cards using in-line editing.
