I have a project with a start date, end date, completion date. I want to put the start-end dates on a timeline in one colour and then as an extension from the end date to the completion date if the project over runs.

As well as that I want to be able to assign tasks to that timeline linked to the project underneath it on the fly. For each task I have Collection Date/Start Date/Expected Completion Date/Completion Date/Delivery Date. Similar to the task above I want to be able to set the start and expected completion date in conjunction with the project timeline so it cannot be set outside the projects start/end time. I then want extensions before and after the tasks start and expected completion date for collection and delivery date and between expected completion date and delivery date a part for completion date.

Above is what I mean. Collection and delivery do not matter to the project but the task itself does. 

If this is possible let me know how. Colours aren’t necessary it’s just for demo purposes. If it’s not possible can anyone let me know of where I could set something like this up.

Many thank!

Hmm, yeah you can tasks together like so?

I’m not really following what you’re trying to do though, so not sure if I’ve answered your question, sorry!

Hi ​@TheTimeSavingCo thank you for your reply.

I don’t believe that is quite what I’m looking for.

So the projects I have are contracts for converting vans in a fleet. Contract sizes can be anywhere from 1 van to 3000 vans. Depending on the quantity is our timescale

Within that contract I want to be able to assign the individual vans and I want each van to be broken up into “Collection Date”, “Production Timeline”, “Delivery Date”.

Each van has its own breakdown in time. Most vans are completed in a day but they have their own breakdown of “Collection ready”, “on site”, “in production”, “Quality control”, “jet wash”, “ready for delivery”, “Ready for invoice”, “Complete”.

I want to be able to, on a timeline, show each van under an assigned contract. The collection can be before the contract but the production and delivery ideally need to be within the contract.

The problem then also comes as I want a calendar also. I want to be able to plot a “collection” day, “production start to end” and “delivery” day.

The problem I am having on the calendar side is that as all the dates are in the same record I am seeing the same record 3 times on a calendar. I am trying to colour them between “collection”, “Production” and “delivery” but they all coloured in the same colours at all times. I cannot figure out how to plot 3 points for the same record individually.

Hmm roger that.  I’m assuming you’ve got a base set up with the same data that populated the graph you posted above?  Could you DM me a link to that base please?
