Configure Auto-Scheduling

Enable dependency-driven automatic date recalculation so successor tasks adjust when predecessors change.

Set the Gantt Time Range

Limit the visible timeline to a specific start and end date using scripts or page parameters.

Schedule in Hours Instead of Days

Switch from day-level to hour-level duration precision for fine-grained scheduling.

Derive Parent Schedule from Children

Configure parent task bars to automatically span the extents of their child items.

Derive Schedule from Polarion Plans

Pull task start and end dates from Polarion plan assignments using item scripts.

Prevent Tasks from Moving Outside Parent Range

Enforce constraints that keep child tasks within their parent’s date boundaries.
Perform What-If Analysis Without Saving — Experiment with schedule changes before committing them to Polarion. Disable Date Rounding on Drag — Allow precise date placement when dragging task bars.
