The files saved in Gantter for Google Drive and Gantter Cloud are separate. If you log into one edition, you will not see the files you have saved in the other edition.
Gantter for Google relies on Google’s Share API that is sometimes not available from Google. However you can also share your projects directly from Google Drive: My Drive. You can also try clearing your browser's cache or use Chrome's incognito mode (press Ctrl + Shift + N to bring up a new incognito window) and then try again from the Gantter editor.
When choosing the print options in Gantter, you can choose to generate PDFs for the "Task List" and the "Gantt Chart" separately or together. This helps it fit better on one page when printing.
Gantter generates the PDF as a single-page. The steps to break it up into multiple pages so the print is larger depends on your PDF software and your printer. This link can give you instructions to print as multiple pages using Adobe Reader.
You can also try choosing the "HTML" print option from Gantter instead of PDF. You can then print it the way you would print any web-page.
To change your language, please go to account settings on the top right corner of your Gantter page and click on your email. You will find a language change drop down menu inside ‘Manage account info’. You can change your language settings there.
You can create a resource in the right side toolbar, under the “Resources” tab, or by double-clicking on the task to open Task Properties. Once you are under “Resource”, you can name the resource and pick a resource type. A type of resource could be a “Worker” or “Material”.
Once you have created the resource, you can then assign it to the task.
If the Resource is a material such as a “paint bucket”, you can change the units needed to complete the task from one to more units.
Yes, you can view a list of tasks that resources are assigned to. This view will also give you the hours worked by the resource. In the Resource tab on the right side toolbar, you will see a list of your resources. Click the “Switch to Resource Usage View” on the top toolbar. Then a list of tasks will appear for each resource on the left side of the screen, and on the right side you will see a breakdown of the weekly hours worked.
There are three features you can use for this:
1.From the General settings in Project Properties
Open Project Properties, and under the “General” tab, change the “Plan from” from Start date to Finish date.
2.Changing the Dependency in the Predecessors menu to “Finish-to-start”
Open Task Properties by double clicking on the task that is being worked on. Select Predecessors, which is the third tab under Task Properties). From there, click on the task that you will want to finish before starting the task you are working on.

3.Changing your Constraint in the Advanced menu to “As late as Possible”
While under Task Properties of the highlighted task, click on the “Advanced” tab to view constraints used on the task in question. You will then need to change the constraint to “As late as Possible”

Gantter does not save projects as .mpp files, but you can export to a Microsoft Project XML file that can be opened using Microsoft Project.
Please use the "Export to MS Project (download)..." option in the "Project” menu of the Gantter editor to download the XML file.
If the issue is that you can't find the XML file from the Microsoft Project file picker, please make sure to select "XML Format (.xml)" or "All Files (.*)" from the file type drop-down. By default this shows "Projects (*.mpp)".
Please see the following link for additional instructions on opening the XML file in Project: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office-project/xml-data-interchange/saving-and-opening-projects-in-xml-format?view=project-client-2016

There are two different ways to zoom in Gantter. The first way is Gantter's zoom functionality which is using the "Zoom In" or "Zoom Out" buttons on the toolbar or in the View menu of the Gantter editor. This changes the time periods of your gantt chart and allows it to go from a monthly view to a weekly view.
However, if you want to zoom in on the entire project as a whole, you can use your browser's zoom functionality. [If you use Chrome, please see the following link for how to zoom in Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/96810?hl=en ]
This could be caused by a loop in your predecessors. Please look over your predecessors to make sure you do not have a parent task being performed after a sub-task. If this issue still occurs please send a shared copy of your file to our support team at support@gantter.com.
