If I don’t have start and end date fields, can I still use Visor’s Simple Gantt Chart Template?

If you are importing data to create a Jira Gantt chart or an Asana Gantt chart and don’t have date fields in those apps, you can always add date fields in Visor using our custom fields. These custom Visor fields only live in Visor.

Not importing data from other apps? You can always just use Visor’s custom fields to create a Gantt chart using our Simple Gantt Chart template.

hese custom fields will live only in Visor. Therefore, if you’re importing data from elsewhere, the fields you create in Visor won’t affect data in your other apps.

I only want to visualize one project into my Gantt but Visor works across a portfolio of projects. Can I still use the Simple Gantt Chart Template for one project?

While you can definitely import multiple projects in your Gantt, we also support just one project in a Gantt.

You can also import data from other apps to create Gantt charts with Salesforce data or HubSpot data. Because these apps don’t have a concept of projects, you don’t need multiple projects.

Similarly, you can just manually input data into your Gantt chart. If that data is just for one project, that’s okay!

However, if you change your mind and want to use Visor’s JQL and Asana importer to bring in multiple projects, you can always import more data (or input more data). Visor supports importing just one or multiple projects from project management apps like Jira and Asana, you can also work with just one project.
