It would be cool if B1 Usability Package could deliver a Dashboard Widget/UF That could represent connected data as a Gantt Chart (Example project management data or Production Data

  Yes, a very very important tool as indicator for rental period, working hours, project dependencies and much more

  Hi Rasmus,

  This would be a great feature.

  Any idea when this idea will be reviewed by the development team?

  At this moment we are looking for a Gantt Chart tool for projectmanagement (Since the standard SAP chart doesn't fulfill our needs) and it would be great if we can use a Boyum Dashboard Widget.

  We look at tickets every 14 days.. This one has received quite a good amount of votes in a short period of time so it is on our radar, but since it is a very time-consuming feature it does not fit well right now in the upcoming summer period... So we will evaluate in the fall and if we plan it would properly be a late 2021 or the first release of 2022 kind of timeframe... But no promises...

  hi

  It is true that you did not promises in late 2021, but why did not you develop it in first release  2022? 

  Will you finally offer it ? when?

  It was not promised for neither fall 2021 nor 2022. We did evaluate and here is our thinkings (people voting for this might help us answer some of these questions for re-evaluation (direct notes from the evaluation we did early January)):

  We should do it because:

  1. It have a lot of votes
  2. It is an impressive demo and a powerfull visualization on specific use-cases

  We should not do it because:

  1. Is there any other use-cases that Project and Production data (B1UP is a cofigurable tool company, not a specific feature company)?
  2. How can we make this without making the configuration of it being so complex that it will scare people off (Series of data is easy, but relations, milestones, crital paths, task splits and the such that truly give value would be hard to make user-friendly and SQL source based)
  3. The Kanban Board released in 2021.02 version has not really gained a big traction. Why would an even more specialized tool do any better?
  4. This does not seem to benefit the trend of going to the Cloud / Web Client
  5. It seems that almost all the young people in the company (Boyum) do not know what a Gantt chart is... Is they still relevant in 2022/Future (The example screenshot a software development process, but we (Boyum) have not made software i Waterfall method since the the early 2000s... Aka it is an outdated visualization in at least that industry)

  So above is the pros and cons we found and the reason we chose the Web Client Extension creator over this... But please all how voted for this comment below and tell us why this evaluation is wrong... What are the various use-cases you would use a Gantt Chart for with SAP Business One data and how would it look?
