Users can create dependencies between tasks and between projects and deliverables. Linked items can be edited by bulk and even postpone a whole project a few days with easy click-and-drag action.
• Fully Sync-ed, Sortable, Shareable charts and more ‚Äì Making changes, such as moving a start date, end date, duration or progress of a task inside the software extension, is completely synchronized in updating the data inside Podio in real-time, and vice versa, so every team member is up-to-date, regardless of whether they are using SmartGantt or not. Views can be customized with different levels of zooming and sorting. Filtering options present a more dedicated view of any particular project information. The chart can be shared in the workspace to other team members through its unique PMCOM. Using with the software extension for the first time is simple as selecting the apps and mapping the fields.
