What must be included in a sheet to use Gantt view?

To use Gantt view in Smartsheet, it is essential to have at least two date columns. This is because the Gantt chart requires a clear understanding of the time frame for tasks. One of the date columns functions as the start date, indicating when a task begins, while the second date column represents the end date, showing when the task is expected to be completed.

Having both a start and an end date allows the Gantt view to visually represent task durations and dependencies in a timeline format, enabling project managers to effectively plan and track project progress. Without these two date columns, Smartsheet would not be able to generate the required timeline, and the Gantt view would not function properly.

Thus, to visualize tasks over a timeline and assess their overlaps and sequencing, having both start and end dates is a critical requirement.
