Gantt View Expand Timescale Options and Zooming between Timescales
in progress

It would be great if we can zoom in or out in the gantt chart or other views! On my laptop I am not able to get an overview of my full gantt chart (same for box view). It would be great to be able to customize the zoom settings depending on the computer that you are working on. Thank you!

I noticed this was In Progress because my Gantt chart suddenly became unusable.
You have almost doubled the width of the day columns and by doing so have removed my ability to see the amount of the gantt chart that I could before - you've made the thing that was working worse so far.
If the Gantt chart held on to the day columns as you zoomed out so the user can set the thickness they are comfortable with, then fine. But it removes the day columns waaay too early and just shows an empty vacuum of the week when I need to move and schedule items between days and relative to the days that other tasks are on.
Zoom the gantt chart with a slider, and toggle the Day/Week/Month/Quarter lines on and off as the user wants.
Please, the gantt chart needs a lot of work overall, so lets have a chat before you make changes that remove useful functionality and make it worse!!

Angus Innes full agreement. The wasted space with the menus and all of the white space in the task list on the left decreased visibility. This latest update of removing the day lines in the week view and shrinking the width makes the week view inefficient and switching to day view adds so much width to the columns that the loss of visible time again makes things wildly inefficient. And there should be differences between the day lines and week lines on the day view otherwise it's such a pain to tell if positioning is accurate.

Angus Innes I agree with this as well, the granularity/option of the day version is very limited now. Also, if I recall correctly, there were grey lines in the previous version to indicate the weekend days through the chart which was quite helpful as well.

Gantt - Compact Weeks view
E
Emanuele Guglielmi
I would like a compact view, like the current Month view, where it is easy to reschedule tasks start dates and durations with snapping in weeks multiples (ie. 5w, 6w...). This could be a simple improvement of the month view allowing to switch between month and week columns.
Currently, there is no intermediate between the compact Month view that allows easy rescheduling only in months multiples, and the overly expanded Weeks view where it's easy to lose the big picture.

Add Month/Week View

Jason Mumm
There is a very big difference in scale between the Year/Month view and the Week/Day view. The Week/Day view is too detailed, whereas the Year/Month view isn't detailed enough. The solution would be something like a Month/Week view where each month is shown with a date indicator showing the first Monday in each week of the month (E.g., April with 4/1, 4/8, 4/15, 4/22, and 4/29 as the week indicators).

They're putting this in, and they still don't even think about viewing recurrences on the Gantt? I can not understand.

As Project Manager, it's mandatory that we can have a possibility to scale GANTT View Month/Weeks, please make this available for yesterday.

Finally! In PROGRESS! Not able to zoom a Gantt in my biggest annoyance as a Project manager user of CU.

Would love to see these settings (at the workspace level) and ui
