Project Management for SuiteCRM - Examples

Hi,
are there any examples on how to use the Project Management tools?

How can i reproduce this flow:

in Project Template + Project Task Templates?

I dont think Tasks cant have more than one predecessor in the Gantt chart so you couldn’t do the last part.

Hi Andy, thank you for replying.

So what’s the right use of the field ProjectTask Templates > predecessors ?

Create your projects in the Gantt chart view then you will see. The predecessor is just to specify which task comes immediately before the current task and draws a line connecting them. It can be start to start or start to finish. One task just cant have multiple predecessors in the gantt chart like you have for T5.

And for adding a task.

Oh you mean the project task templates. Just put one predecessor in there. The original sugar project module could have multiple predecessors and ours still can but it wont work in the Gantt chart if that makes sense.

Ok Andy, thank you.

So in ProjectTask Templates > predecessors i have to put always 1 (as it is an integer field) except for the roots task that will have predecessors = 0, isn’t it?

I’m still working on ProjectTask Template in order to create new projects easily.
I read here around that AM_ProjectHolidays is not going to be developed anymore; if so, how can i reproduce weekends timeout in a Project ?

Another thing: i see from you screenshots that if you set a Task to be a milestone you have to set duration = 0 and date_finish is the day before date_start is it correct?

You put the number of the task you want to be the predecessor in the predecessor field not just 1 or 0 but you can only have a single task as a predecessor.

I have not herd that the project holidays is being removed so you should still be able to use it. Weather it gets developed further any time soon is doubtful as far as I know.

Just set the milestones to start and finish on the same day.

Ok, thank you.

Please, what’s the meaning of: ProjectTask > order_number or ProjectTask Templates > order_number? Is it the tree level? Has it a functionality or is it just for reference?

Do you know how to use AM_ProjectHoliday so that i can set that all my resources are not available on Saturdays and Sundays?

Hi, I was wondering if you were able to resolve the holiday/weekend issue mentioned above.

Hi sunilrao; not yet; but still looking for the best solution

Hi Andy,
is there any way to solve the weekend/holidays problem?
How can i avoid in Projects to consider them?

Thanks in advance
