A milestone represents an important date within you project, such as the start of a development, or a deadline for work to be completed by. When viewing your project's Gantt chart, milestones are represented with a diamond icon.
Milestones can be created in one of two ways:
- Directly within the Gantt chart
- From the project dashboard
From the Gantt chart
1. Open the Gantt chart of your project
2. Click the `Add +` button at the top of the gantt chart, or next to a task/task group. (The button at the top of the Gantt will add the new milestone in the base of the project, whilst clicking the button next to the task will add it as a child of that task)
3. Select 'Milestone' at the top of the window that appears
4. Fill in the details of your milestone, and click 'Save'
From the project dashboard
1. Navigate to your project
2. Under the 'Tasks' panel, is the 'Milestones' panel. Click the 'Add Milestone' button at the top of the panel
3. Fill in the details of your milestone, and click 'Create Milestone'
