DHTMLX Gantt Chart for Salesforce:
Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a Gantt chart for project management in Salesforce?

Salesforce provides powerful CRM and process automation, but lacks built-in tools for visual project scheduling. A Gantt chart adds a clear, interactive timeline view that helps teams plan, track, and adjust tasks with ease. DHTMLX Gantt brings advanced capabilities like task dependencies, milestones, and progress tracking, enabling real project management inside Salesforce.

Can Salesforce natively support Gantt charts?

Not out of the box. Salesforce doesn't offer a native Gantt chart component in either Classic or Lightning Experience. While it's possible to build something basic using standard components, it lacks scalability and interactivity. That's where DHTMLX Gantt comes in. With full support for Salesforce's Lightning Locker Service and high-performance rendering, it bridges that gap with enterprise-ready features.

How does the Gantt chart integrate with Salesforce objects?

DHTMLX Gantt integrates seamlessly with standard or custom Salesforce objects. You can bind your data via Apex controllers or Lightning Web Components (LWC), and synchronize the chart with your records using REST APIs or wire services. This allows real-time updates and two-way data binding between the Gantt view and your Salesforce backend.

Can I drag and drop tasks in the Gantt view?

Yes. DHTMLX Gantt supports full drag-and-drop interactions out of the box. Users can reschedule tasks, adjust durations, and update dependencies directly in the timeline. These changes can be captured and pushed back to Salesforce records using Apex or JavaScript event handlers, making user interactions both intuitive and data-consistent.

Is the Gantt chart available as a Lightning Web Component (LWC)?

While DHTMLX Gantt itself is a JavaScript component, it is fully compatible with Salesforce LWC. You can wrap the Gantt chart inside a custom Lightning Web Component that embeds it into Lightning pages. Thanks to compliance with Salesforce Locker Service, the integration is secure and efficient even in restricted environments like managed packages.

How do I install the Gantt chart component in Salesforce?

To get started, simply include the DHTMLX Gantt JavaScript and CSS resources in your Salesforce org, typically as static resources. Then create a custom LWC or Aura component to initialize and render the Gantt chart. DHTMLX provides detailed documentation and working Salesforce demo apps that help you set up everything in under a day even for complex use cases.

Can I customize the Gantt chart appearance or filters?

Absolutely. DHTMLX Gantt is highly customizable. You can define custom task templates, timeline scales, styling, tooltips, and side panels. Advanced filtering, dynamic column configurations, and even custom context menus are supported. These options let you tailor the chart to match your organization's branding and business logic within Salesforce.

How does your Gantt chart perform with large datasets?

DHTMLX Gantt is optimized for enterprise-level performance. Unlike Salesforce Lightning datatables, which slow down with over 1,000 records, DHTMLX Gantt handles 10,000+ tasks with smooth scrolling and sub-second rendering. In real-world use, it has been tested with up to 12,000 tasks in Salesforce environments making it ideal for large-scale project portfolios and resource planning.
