Task fields reference

The main fields on a Gantt Task record, grouped by purpose. This is a partial reference covering the fields most commonly edited or queried — the full record has roughly 50 fields, most of which are internal bookkeeping.

Hierarchy

Field	Purpose
Gantt	The parent Gantt this task belongs to.
Parent Task	If set, the task nests under another task. Parent tasks roll up dates and progress from their children.
Is Parent	Computed checkbox. Indicates the task has children.
Hierarchy Name	The full dotted path of the task (e.g. `Site Works.Earthworks.Bulk Excavation`). Useful for reporting.
Expanded	Whether the task's children are shown expanded by default in the Gantt view.

Scheduling

Field	Purpose
Start Date	Mandatory. The task's planned start.
End Date	The task's planned end. Either End Date or Duration drives the other.
Duration (days)	Length of the task in working days.
Actual Start Date	The task's recorded actual start.
Actual End Date	The task's recorded actual end.
Deadline Date	A reference deadline used for variance reporting (not a hard constraint).

Baseline

Field	Purpose
Baseline Start Date	The original plan start, captured at baseline-set time.
Baseline End Date	The original plan end.
Baseline Duration	The original planned duration.
Baseline Percent Done	The original planned progress at this point in time.

Progress and work

Field	Purpose
Percent Done	Manual progress percentage.
Percent Done (Actual)	Computed as Actual Work ÷ Target Work.
Override Progress	Forces the manual Percent Done value rather than the computed actual.
Estimated Hours	Estimated total hours of work.
Target Work	Hours required to complete (used for actual-percent-done calculation).
Actual Hours	Hours actually worked.
Actual Work	Total effort applied.
Amount	Cost — Rate × Duration, sourced from Time Tracking.

Constraints and dependencies

Field	Purpose
Constraint Type	One of ASAP (default), ALAP, MSO (Must Start On), MFO (Must Finish On), SNET (Start No Earlier Than), SNLT (Start No Later Than), FNET (Finish No Earlier Than), FNLT (Finish No Later Than).
Constraint Date	Paired with the constraint type for hard or bounded dates.
Slack (days)	Free slack. Tasks with zero slack are on the critical path.
From Task	Predecessor task(s).
To Task	Successor task(s).

Cost and status

Field	Purpose
Cost	Calculated cost of the task.
Cost Variance	Difference between baseline cost and actual.
Status	Task status from the Timeline status list.
Colour	Hex colour for the Gantt bar — for visual grouping or highlighting.
Task Code	Free-text identifier (often an outline number).
Notes	Long-form notes on the task.

Resource assignment

Field	Purpose
Resources	The resources allocated to this task (Employees, Vendors, Equipment, Roles or Crews).
Estimate Tasks	When Project Financials is installed, the Estimate items this task rolls cost up to.

Author input needed

The full Gantt Task record has more fields than are surfaced here — integration IDs, hidden phantom IDs, sandbox migration fields, Field Service Management fields and a number of UI-display fields. Most users never touch them. If a deeper reference is needed for advanced reporting, raise the request with the implementation team and this page will be expanded in Phase 5.
