I want to use OmniPlan for various projects in my personal time.
Say I have 5 hours at the weekend to work on them.
If I give a task 20 hours work required then does the Gantt view (Tasks) automatically size the task bar, taking into account the working hours and effort required.
I’ve had a look and experimented but can’t see how the Working Hours and Task bar “connect” up like this.
@therobyouknow It is possible to set this up, however a one day work week may not result in the “prettiest” Gantt chart. In the following screenshots I’ve set up a work week that only has one 5 hour workday and a task that requires 20 hours of effort. Selecting View > Non-Working Time > All in the OmniPlan menu bar reveals the 6 non-working days per week in the the project (non-working days are represented in grey on the gantt chart, working time is white).
Hope this helps!
Thanks @ains. Would having the task bar stretching over a number of days is the best way track a one day working week, when most days the work isn’t being done? What are your thoughts on having the task bar only on the weekend - that would give a more visible way as to when the work is done. What do you think?
@therobyouknow We have an open feature request for the Gantt bar to “jump” over nonworking hours - I’ll attach your comment! For the time being, you could hide the non-working hours in the Gantt.

Hi ains, is there a direct URL to this open feature so that I can track progress on it? Thanks.
