Gant chart sometimes adds extra days

web-app

I have been planning out some work and noticed that there was an overlap in the work i'd assigned. My start and end dates did not overlap, and the time estimated was the number of days specified in the start end dates. Yet the gant chart seemed to add 2 more days onto the period, so 5 days became 7.

Does it add 2 days or move 2 days from the weekend to weekdays?

This is the details of the issue in question. 21st to 27th is 7 days, 2 of which is over the weekend, which leaves 5 working days, and is estimated for 5 days. Yet in the gant chart, the bar goes on to the 29th Nov.

I see. The gantt looks at the dates only and plots them accordingly. If it falls on a weekend, it moves to the next week. That is configurable.

How is this configured? I couldn't see anything obvious in the web config file?

Cheers

Ok Thanks,

However, now the weekends are shown, which i guess is logical since SkipWeekends = false implies that weekends are shown. Can someone please explain the current logic?  Why does gemini add on days for the weekends? If i give it a start and end date, surely I have done this for a reason? why would I want it to add extra days for me?

Because you have told the Gantt that you are not working over weekends. Now you've told it you are...

Thats not what i meant, I do not work weekends, so when i entered 21st nov to 27th nov i would expect it to draw the time line from 21st to 27th and exclude weekends by default. I know some people will want to include weekends but in either case i dont understand why it would add extra days on outside of the dates i specified?

can it not ingore weekends and only book time up until the date i give it?
