Task

• Jan 09, 2020

A task is a unit of work. On the Gantt chart, it displays the following information:

• Task title.

• Duration (start and end dates).

• Task progress.

• Associated dependencies that specify relationships between tasks.

• Associated resources.

A large task can be divided into subtasks that allow you to track the progress.

A milestone is a task with the same start and endpoint. Milestones can be used as checkpoints for important points in a project.

The Gantt gets data for tasks from a data table (Bind(Object, Object, Object, Object)). Use the GanttMappings.Task object to specify which fields in the data table correspond to task properties.

C#

settings.Mappings.Task.Key = "ID";
settings.Mappings.Task.ParentKey = "ParentID";
settings.Mappings.Task.Title = "Subject";
settings.Mappings.Task.Start = "StartDate";
settings.Mappings.Task.End = "EndDate";
settings.Mappings.Task.Progress = "PercentComplete";

The table below lists the main members that affect task appearance and functionality.

API	Description
TaskTitlePosition	Specifies where to display a task: none, inside or outside the task. C# settings.SettingsGanttView.TaskTitlePosition = GanttTaskTitlePosition.Outside;
ShowResources (server-side property)	Specifies whether to display task resources. C# settings.SettingsGanttView.ShowResources = false;
ShowResources(value) (client-side method)	Specifies whether to display task resources. JS Gantt.ShowResources(false);
