Milestone events show important steps, stages and points of interest

Milestones are key moments in time that are fixed and have no duration. They show specific points in your planning and schedule that mark important dates, stages and events. They highlight a change, key date or deadline to help all users focus towards a common goal. They can act as a signpost to help guide users to the next major milestone and show the progress of work completed so far.

When adding a milestone you can set the color and a title that is shown when hovering over the icon in the schedule. Update its percentage competed value to show, and inform others, of the milestone progress.




Using Milestones
  • Milestones can be used to notify a lead or manager that a collection of events and subtasks have been completed without them needing to be informed of the progress of each individual event or subtask.
  • A milestone only report gives a high level overview of the overall progress of a project, or schedule of works, without the need to see every event or task that makes up the entire plan.
  • Create a resource row at the top of your schedule where you can place and view all milestones together for a great plan and progress overview.
  • Filters can be used to filter in or out any milestone events should you want to include or exclude them from your views and reports.


  • Milestone Examples
  • Show the start of a project or a set of related events
  • Show when a project or a set of related events must be completed
  • Date for a progress review
  • The end of a phase of planning
  • When critical documents need to be received/finalised

    Is there an option to toggle between showing/hiding all milestone descriptions by default? Currently it only seems possible to see the description by hovering and I'm just trying to evaluate whether it would be better for me to show all milestone descriptions by default.
