Editing Project Tasks

In Gantt, you can edit the name of a project task in the task grid, and you can edit the details and delete tasks in the task grid or the Gantt chart. Any changes are reflected in both panes.

Editing Project Tasks in the Task Grid

To edit the name, start date, end date or duration of a project task in the Task Grid:

1. Double-click or tab to the relevant cell, and then edit the details.
2. If needed, double-click or tab to the other cells and edit them.
3. When you have completed your changes, press Enter or click outside the cell.
4. Click Save.

Locating Project Tasks in the Gantt Chart

When you select a single task in Task Grid, the Gantt chart is centered on the start date of the relevant task bar. When you select multiple tasks, the Gantt chart is centered on the start date of the first task that you selected.

Editing Project Tasks in the Gantt Chart

To edit a task, double-click the task bar to open Task Editor, where you can update the details of the task, including dependencies and task assignments.

Alternately, you can edit the start date, end date and duration of tasks within the Gantt chart:

• To move a project task to a different start date without changing its duration, drag the bar to the required date.
• To change a start date or an end date:
  1. Hover near the start or end of a bar until the stretch control is displayed.
  2. Press and hold the control and stretch the bar to another start or end date.

When you have completed your changes, click Save.

Deleting Project Tasks

To delete project tasks

1. Select one or more project tasks in the Task Grid or the Gantt chart, and then either:
   • Click
   • Right-click and select Delete Tasks.
2. Click Save.

Note:

If you delete a parent task, its child tasks are also deleted.
