Enter Project Structure Plan#

In Allegra, you can enter the project structure most easily in the Gantt chart or in the item overview (Hierarchical view).

You must have permissions to create items in the intended project or workspace. You must have the license to use the Gantt chart activated (see Managing Regular Users). You can choose between two options for entering the project structure plan:

  • In the task management perspective (go to Perspective Task Management > Item Overview. Select the “Hierarchical Display” view)

  • In the project management perspective (go to Perspective Project Management > Gantt Chart)

  • Click in the navigation area in the top left on the workspace or the project for which you want to create the structure plan. This activates the corresponding filter so that the new items to be created are also displayed.

  • On the node for the workspace, right-click > Add > Task and enter the first task. Proceed in the same way with all other tasks of the first level. Attention: At this point, you do not yet need to enter dates, efforts, and dependencies.

  • Enter additional items by clicking on an existing item and then using the keyboard combination CMD + to add a new task directly under the selected one.

  • Then, by right-clicking > Add Child > Task on a task of the first level, enter the tasks of the second level.

  • Create the item hierarchy by dragging and dropping items or using the indent and outdent function in the item’s context menu.

You have entered all items and structured them hierarchically. If you have not entered any dates, all items now start at the same date and also end at the same time.
