Activities
When you are creating your gantt view it's build up by activities, which is a placeholder of the different types of objects which can be created or related to a project in Microbizz.
You can use the keyboard and shortcuts in this view and you can see a guide, when pressing the HELP button.
Groups
Groups are created automatically if an activity or object is indent below it.
data objects are:
- Activities and groups: Each row represent an activity. Something that has to be done in order to complete the project. Activity groups are used to group/relate activities together
- Tasks: When an activity needs to be completed, it is useful to attach a task to it, as it will then be possible to execute as normal tasks are done
- Calendar appointments: Meetings are often an important part of a project, and therefore the activities can be attached to calendar appointments
