Additional requirements for Gantt Chart

[Sujeet]

Hi,

I am using kendo's Gantt chart. But I unable to achieve few things using the existing Gantt chart features.
Following are the features I request should be provided for Gantt chart:

1. Multiple tasks/milestones in a row.
2. Multiple rows for a parent task.
3. If space is not available in preceding row(s), overlapping tasks should be moved to next row.
4. User should be able to provide start date for the quarter in a fiscal calendar.

   Ex: If user give 01st-June as the start date, then Q1 should start from 01st-June. Hence, quarters will be defined as: Q1(June-Aug), Q2(Sept-Nov), Q3(Dec-Feb), Q4(Mar-May)

5. If task label is exceeding the width of the task, then height of the task should be increased to accommodate task label(in other words, text should be wrapped).

6. Different color for each task.

Edit:
5. If task label is exceeding the width of the task, then height of the task should be increased to accommodate task label(in other words, text should be wrapped). Also, font-size of the text should be responsive, that is, font-size should be reduced to accommodate entire text in minimum task height.

Hello Sujeet,

With regard to coloring tasks (6), see this HowTo article, which demonstrates a possible approach of coloring the tasks conditionally (using the Gantt's dataBound event).

The other features (1-5) are currently unavailable for the Gantt. If you want to see them implemented we would suggest logging them as separate feature requests in our Feedback Portal. Based on the community's interest in them we will consider adding them in a future release. Many of the logged feature requests get approved by the team and added in subsequent releases, the highly demanded ones with precedence.

Ivan Danchev
