Gantt LWC – Easily Mark Tasks as Complete Using “Done”

Last Modified On: June 2, 2025

The “Done” column in the project schedule allows users to quickly mark a task as complete without navigating into each task record. Here are some common scenarios where this functionality is especially useful:

• For straightforward tasks where no additional information is needed, users can skip the full task view and use “Done” to update status with a single click.
• During reviews or team walk-throughs of the Gantt chart, stakeholders can confirm and mark tasks as completed, directly from the chart.

The “Done” column is a user interface-only field that offers a quick and convenient way to mark tasks as complete. When you mark a task as Done, Inspire Planner automatically performs the following updates:

• The task status is updated to "Complete" (or equivalent custom status)
• Sets the % Complete to 100%
• Sets the Actual Finish Date to the current date and time

Please note:

• The "Done" column is only available in:
  • Waterfall projects in Gantt LWC (available with JUN 2025 - Major Release)
  • Task List projects in both Gantt LWC (available with JUN 2025 - Major Release) and Gantt Visualforce
     
• If a project task includes required checklist items, make sure they are completed first before marking the task as done.

Quickly Mark Tasks as "Done" in Waterfall Projects

The “Done” column is hidden by default. To show it, right-click on any column header and select “Done” from the list.

The “Done” column will appear to the left of the Task Subject. If you’d like to move it, simply drag and drop it to your preferred location.

To mark a task as complete, set “Done” to TRUE. This will automatically:

• Strike through the task subject

• Change the task status to “Complete”  (or equivalent custom status)

• Set % Complete to 100%

• Populate the Actual Finish Date with the current date and time

If the project task is assigned to one or more resources, all related Salesforce Tasks are also automatically updated to "Complete" (or equivalent custom status).
