spanning Task over two rows
« on: May 29, 2023, 06:33:18 PM »
HI,
 we use FlexyGantt to represent the manufacturing production plan, so each row is a machine. We need to visualize a business that uses two machines at the same time.
Do you have any suggestions for doing this? I tried doubling the height but the activity gets clipped. I thought about showing two aligned tasks with the same color and adjacent borders but maybe there's a smarter way

Thanks in advance
Francesco

Francesco,

So, there really is no built in way to draw a task/activity spanning multiple rows. A workaround using 2 similar looking bars is what makes sense.

How is your data-hierarchy setup though? Is this task/activity a child of the business or child of the machine?

Regards
Praveen

Thanks for yuor reply.

If I understand your question each tasks should be child of a machine.
the rows are always one beside the other so I tried to use two identical task and it's works fine, but it's tediuos to double each coupled task so I was hoping there was a better way

Thanks
Francesco

Ok, unfortunately, there is no other better way to support this besides the workaround you have used.

Thanks
