Guide
The Gantt View is a powerful project management visualization in Fibery that displays entities as horizontal bars on a timeline, showing their planned dates, dependencies, and hierarchical relationships. This view is perfect for project planning, resource management, and tracking progress across complex, interconnected work items.
Gantt vs. Timeline
Here are the main differences between Gantt and Timeline View:
Gantt view visualizes hierarchy much better, so you can see hierarchy like Product → Epics → Features → Tasks
You can re-order entities vertically
You can show/hide fields in the left hierarchy panel and on the main time panel
Gantt view has no backlog, it shows all entities according to filters
Planning usually much faster on Gantt, since you can quickly create new items and plan them for dates with a single click.
Add Gantt view to a space
Click + icon near Space name or folder
Select Views → Gantt from the menu
Configure Gantt view
Click Items and select one or more databases to be visualized as a part of hierarchy on Gantt View.
You can also have nested entities with self-relations any level deep.
Select date fields. It can be a single Date Range field or two different fields that you will use as start/finish fields. In most cases Date Range is preferable.
Configure visible fields for rows and items
You may select what Fields will be visible on items and lanes:
Click Fields in the top menu
Select the fields you want to see. You can show unique fields for every database, just click on a database on the left and select the required fields.
Add new entities
There are several ways to add new entities.
Click + New button in the top menu
Rich click on top level entity to add a lower level entity. For example, here we are adding a new Task to Phase.
Open entities
Just click on a lane or item and an entity will be opened on the right.
Change entities dates and plan entities
You may drag and drop cards to change entities' dates.
Drag the left or right side of the row if you want to change start/end date respectively.
Drag the whole row if you want to change both dates at the same time.
Entity without dates can be quickly planned to some dates with a single click. When you move mouse cursor over timeline area for this entity, placeholder becomes visible and you can click to set the dates.
Batch drag and drop is also supported, select several cards and drag them together.
Change vertical position
You may change vertical position of cards using drag and drop.
Make sure that you have no custom sorting enabled, otherwise vertical drag and drop will not work
It can be handy to organize the order of the entities.
Configure secondary dates
You can display secondary pair of dates on a Gantt View. The most popular use case is Planned vs. Actual dates. Click Items and then click Add secondary dates button. Select dates fields.
Filter cards
You may filter rows.
Click Filter in the top menu
Select required fields and build filter conditions
Hide empty groups
Make your gantt denser by removing groups that don't contain any entities via Hide Empty Groups:
Sort rows and lanes
You may sort rows and lanes by fields.
Click Sort on the top menu.
Add one or more sorting rules.
Color cards
You may color code rows to highlight some important things. For example, mark features that are in progress green.
Click on Colors in the top menu.
Set one or many color rules.
Manage Dependencies
You can manage Dependencies on a Gantt View. Dependency is a self-relation. Click Enable Dependencies for some database and you will be able to see, create and delete dependencies in a timeline area.
Creating and deleting dependencies
Put cursor over a card, find small circle and drag a arrow from this circle to another card to create a dependency.
Put cursor over an arrow and click Ⓧ circle to delete a dependency.
When dates of cards overlap, relation is red to indicate overlapping.
Card shifting strategies
On a timeline dependent cards can change dates automatically. There are three strategies to select from:
Do not automatically shift dates
Shit dates only when they are overlap
Shift dates and keep time between entities
Try them and see how they work.
Visualize Milestones
You can see milestones on a Gantt View as vertical lines.
Click Milestones option in the top menu:
Select a Database as Milestone
Select any Date field in this Database.
Adjust the first day of the week
Every person sees a timeline according to their Personal preferences: the same timeline view might start on Monday for you and on Sunday for your colleague.
The personal preferences, in turn, are set based on your browser locale and can be adjusted if needed.
Duplicate Gantt view
You may duplicate the current timeline view into the same Space.
Click ••• on the top right.
Click Duplicate Gantt option.
Link to your Gantt View
You can copy an anchor link to this specific view so you can share it elsewhere. There are two ways to do it:
Click ••• on the top right and click Copy Link
Click on timeline Id in top left corner and the link will be copied to your clipboard
