Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Gantt Chart Block in QuoteCloud?

A Gantt Chart Block is a visual content block within the QuoteCloud document editor that presents project schedules, tasks and milestones on a timeline. It shows task sequencing, durations and completion dates so readers can quickly understand project timelines at a glance.

Why should I use a Gantt Chart Block?

Use a Gantt Chart Block to turn complex project schedules into an easy-to-read visual timeline—rather than a plain task list, a Gantt chart highlights overlaps, durations and dependencies. This improves clarity, speeds client decision-making and gives proposals and quotes a more professional appearance.

When included in sales quoting software or sales proposal software outputs, a Gantt chart helps clients see when deliverables will occur, strengthening trust and reducing follow-up questions.

How do I insert a Gantt Chart Block into a document?

Open your document in the QuoteCloud editor, open the content block menu and select the Gantt Chart option. The block will be inserted into the document and you can edit the chart inline to match your project details.

What is included in the default Gantt Chart structure?

The default Gantt Chart includes task rows, timeline bars and fields for start and end dates (or durations). This basic structure provides an immediate timeline view that you can expand or customise to reflect additional fields, milestones or styling.

How do I add tasks to the Gantt Chart?

Click inside the Gantt Chart block and add tasks by entering a task name plus a start and end date or a duration. Each task appears as its own row on the timeline so you can easily see how tasks align, overlap and affect the project schedule.

Can I edit task names, dates, or durations later?

Yes. Task names, start/end dates and durations can be modified at any time directly inside the Gantt Chart block so you can keep the timeline accurate as the project changes.

Can I create dependencies between tasks?

Yes. QuoteCloud supports linking tasks so one task can be set to begin only after another completes. Dependencies are useful for modelling sequential workflows and for automated timeline adjustments when predecessor tasks move.

How does the Gantt Chart block fit into my quotes or proposals?

The Gantt Chart block can be embedded in documents generated by QuoteCloud’s quote software and proposal software to clearly show project timelines alongside pricing and scope. Including a visual schedule in sales quoting software or sales proposal software helps clients understand delivery timing and milestones, making proposals easier to evaluate and accept.
