This module extends the standard tasks and projects actions to add the timeline view to them, and also adds the needed fields in the view for handling them.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 19.0

Adds a timeline (Gantt-style) view to projects and tasks, so you can see planned work on a calendar-like chart. Tasks get planned start and end dates, with automatic defaults and a check that the end date cannot be before the start date.

This module adds a timeline view to projects and tasks, showing them as bars on a time axis instead of only lists or kanban cards.

  • Projects: a timeline view is available on the Projects screen, grouped by customer by default, using the project start and end dates.
  • Tasks: a timeline view is available on the Tasks screen, grouped by project by default. Task bars show the assigned users' avatars and the allocated hours, and are colour-coded: white when no user is assigned, green when the task is done, red when it is cancelled. Dependencies between tasks are shown as arrows.
  • Task reports: the Tasks Analysis report also gets a timeline view.

Two new date fields are added to tasks: Planned Start Date and Planned End Date. They appear on the task form as a single 'Planned Dates' range field, and can be shown as optional columns in the task list.

Automatic behaviour: if a task is assigned and no planned start is set, the assignment date is used as the planned start; if a task is completed and no planned end is set, the completion date is used as the planned end. A validation prevents saving a task whose planned end date is earlier than its planned start date. Existing tasks are filled in automatically when the module is installed.

Usage

Source · Odoo 19.0

To view the timeline:

  • Go to Project \> Search \> Tasks or Project \> Dashboard.
  • Click on the timeline view icon.
  • You will see the tasks or projects in the new view.

The Task timeline uses the "Planned Start Date" and "Planned End Date" fields, in the "Extra Info" tab (only visible in debug mode).

When a user is assigned, and there's no planned start date, current datetime is filled there, and the same happens for the end one when the task is put in a done stage.
