Now you can schedule tasks in Virto SharePoint Gantt Chart web part automatically in dependence on relations between tasks.
For example, I created two tasks and connected them by arrow to make the following dependency: the second task starts after the first task’s end date.
Now I`ll move the first task to a new date and change the SharePoint Gantt Chart schedule. With the new auto scheduling feature Virto SharePoint Gantt Chart web part updates second task without any alteration in task duration and changes its start date according to the end date of the first task. If I move the first task end date to Friday, the successor task start date will be Monday.
With this convenient feature of Virto SharePoint Gantt you can easily working on a comprehensive project plan without setting dates and scheduling of dozens depending tasks manually.
Another feature is the ability to automatically set a start date of depending task after the end date of the predecessor task, even if the depending task started before the predecessor.

The parent task logic was also improved. Start and end dates (duration) of summary task are calculated according to start and end dates of it’s children.
