How long the task is expected to take
Whether the task is active
Whether the task has been delayed
Whether the task is completed
A short bar may represent a one-day review activity
A longer bar may represent a multi-week engineering activity
Overlapping bars indicate tasks scheduled during the same period
A bar positioned in the past may indicate delayed or completed work, depending on its status

Schedule View depends on accurate task Start Dates and Due Dates.
Tasks without realistic dates may reduce schedule accuracy.
Users should update task statuses when work begins or finishes.
A task may appear delayed if its status has not been updated.
Overdue tasks should be reviewed before their dates are changed.
Changing dates should reflect an approved schedule revision, not hide a delay.
Summary bars depend on the timing of the work displayed under them.
Expanding all rows may create a large schedule that requires more scrolling.
Use collapsed rows for high-level review.
Use expanded rows for operational analysis.
Exported Excel and PDF files are static snapshots.
The visible schedule depends on the user’s permissions and available Project data.
The task is linked to the correct Project, Building, or Phase
The task has valid scheduling information
The user has permission to view the linked entity
The relevant Project hierarchy is expanded
The schedule is positioned on the correct date range
Work has actually started
The status should be changed to In Progress
A predecessor activity is delayed
The Assignee has the required information
The Start Date needs an approved revision
