Meet the new BigPicture navigation
A faster, smarter, and more intuitive way to work is here. We’ve redesigned BigPicture navigation to give you a smoother experience and better access to what matters most.
→ Discover what’s new, explore key improvements, and review feature name updates on the New navigation page.
→ The rollout will happen gradually, and the previous navigation will be retired in September 2026.
Warnings
Warnings (old navigation)
This section provides an overview of the warning messages that can appear in the app. These messages are designed to help users avoid errors, stay informed, and take action when something needs attention. Each warning is explained with its purpose, when it appears, and how users can resolve or respond to it.
Gantt module
The Overdue tasks and Period warnings can be enabled on the dropdown under the View options in the Gantt module.
Overdue tasks
Overdue tasks are all those that have been due in the past but whose progress status is currently below 100% and/or whose status is still To do or In progress.
Period warnings
Period warnings appear when a parent task can not be recalculated due to a constraint, such as a blocking task resulting from the scheduling mode.
Dependency loops
If you add predecessor relationships between tasks, you might encounter a dependency loop. This happens when two or more tasks depend on each other. BigPicture prevents you from creating these loops to keep your task flow working properly.
Resources module
The Estimates, Assignment, and Workload contour warnings can be enabled on the dropdown under the View options in the Resources module. They are generally referred to as task warnings.
Task warnings
Task warnings help you spot common issues and errors when working with tasks in the Resources module. They can be enabled for task estimates, assignments, and workload contour.
Board module
Task warnings can be enabled on the dropdown under the View options in the Board module.
