How to generate the ideal Gantt chart in Reboot Timeline.

[Cram]

Hi

I use Extension, Reboot Timeline, to generate Gantt chart.

I have some questions about visualization.

1. the name of each progress stage appears directly on each bar, but I’d prefer to hide those labels and display them as a legend instead.

2.Time is set as a dimension, but I’d like to exclude certain hours—for example, 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.

This is because the Gantt chart represents manufacturing data, and I want to remove break times from the timeline.

Reboot Timeline can get close to a classic Gantt, but it has a few built-in limits you’re bumping into:

• Milestones and tasks are always treated as separate items, so you can’t stack multiple “bars” for the same resource on a single line like in a pure Gantt.

• The bar always spans the full start–end range you feed it; there’s no native way to visually “break” a bar for gaps or pauses.

• Dependencies (arrows between tasks) also aren’t supported out of the box.

The usual approach is to approximate a Gantt by:

• Using one row per task (or per resource+task combo),

• Coloring by status/owner, and

• Adding milestones as separate points.

If you really need full Gantt behavior (multi-segment bars, dependencies, row grouping), you’ll likely have to move to a dedicated Gantt extension or external JS chart and embed that instead of relying only on Reboot Timeline.
