I am using the Ganntchart tool for some quick hit (no task greater than a day duration) task scheduling where things are either half done or all done. Unfortunately, the users a reading into the percentage things that aren’t there so I would like to use the field for freeform strings where I can say in words exactly what is completed or not. I tried playing with the .gan file but failed to come up with a good solution.
I don’t quite understand your intents, but anyway, completion percentage is percentage. Why don’t you use your own custom fields for additonal information?
You have one good answer. A couple more ways to do this
- Use notes
- Break up the task into sub-tasks
Breaking up seems to do exactly what you ask, show the progress of each constituent.
Hi, perhaps Notes field in the Task properties window does the trick?
