Set Project Schedule Baseline

Navigate Projects> Select Project > Workspace > Tasks tab in left panel > Project Schedule > Menu available in the top of main workspace > More button > Set Baseline

Project baseline is similar to baseline one would use in Microsoft Project – a mechanism to set benchmark for evaluating any change in the schedule in future. So when project manager set current schedule as baseline, any further change in the schedule can be visually identified by looking at the Gantt chart with ‘View Baseline’ option and the gray line just below task bar represent the schedule what was marked as baseline for a given task.

Request Status Update

Navigate Projects> Select Project > Workspace > Tasks tab in left panel > Project Schedule > Menu available in the top of main workspace > More button > Request Status Update

Project manager can proactively seek for status update from project team member. He/she can select a given task and click on the ‘Request Task Status Update’ menu as illustrated above, and all team members whom the given task is assigned will receive email notification along with message content as specified by project manager.

One can tweak Gantt chart using column selection, Zoom level and what you would see on screen will be saved/ printed.
