FAQ: Adding a Gantt Chart Block to Your QuoteCloud Document
What is a Gantt Chart Block in QuoteCloud?
A Gantt Chart Block is a visual content block that lets you present project schedules, tasks, and milestones in a timeline format. It helps readers clearly understand task sequencing and project timelines.
Why should I use a Gantt Chart Block?
A Gantt Chart makes complex project schedules easier to digest. Instead of listing tasks in plain text, you can show dependencies, durations, and completion dates visually, which improves clarity and professionalism.
How do I insert a Gantt Chart Block into a document?
You can insert the block from the document editor by selecting the Gantt Chart option in the content block menu. Once inserted, the chart can be edited to match your project needs.
What is included in the default Gantt Chart structure?
By default, the Gantt Chart displays task rows, timeline bars, and space for start and end dates. You can then expand or edit this structure to fit your project.
How do I add tasks to the Gantt Chart?
You can add tasks directly into the block by entering task names, start and end dates, and durations. Each task will appear as a row on the timeline.
Can I edit task names, dates, or durations later?
Yes. You can modify task names, update durations, and adjust start/end dates at any time to keep the chart accurate.
Can I create dependencies between tasks?
Yes. Tasks can be linked so that one task begins only after another is completed, making it easier to represent sequential workflows.
What are best practices for structuring a Gantt Chart?
-
Keep tasks organized logically.
-
Use dependencies to automate timelines.

Update the chart frequently to reflect progress.
