Notice Massage from WBS Gantt Chart

[Andrea Fontanini]

Hi everyone.

I use the WBS Gantt Chart App to make Gantt charts on my projects. Once I finish the planning, I save it and exit the Gantt. When I enter again in the same Gantt, however, I get the message reported below.

Can you tell me why? What does it mean? What happens to my planning if I press the Undo button (apparently nothing)? 

In particular, I would like to know if I am doing something wrong in the way I use the app or in the way I set the settings.

Thank you very much to those who will help me!

No worries. You did not do anything wrong to work on your Gantt.
The reason for the “Notice“ dialog box popping up is that you set the “Default Duration-Effort Adjustment mode“ to “Effort adjusts“ and log work to update the value for the “Time tracking“ field in the Jira issue detail screen.
Please see the below images for details.

1. Default Duration-Effort Adjustment mode: Effort adjusts 

2. Logging work to update the value for the “Time tracking“ field in the Jira issue detail screen 
3. “Notice“ dialog box and then click either the “Undo“ or “Save” button to proceed
   In your case, click “Save“ 

I hope this helps to answer your question.

Thank you @Shin Asaba for your answer.

However, I still do not understand one thing.

I set "Duration adjusts" (not "Effort adjusts") in the "Default Duration-Effort Adjustment mode" field  and I haven't used time tracking yet.

I have only limited myself to changing some precedences between tasks and some start dates. Then, once I saved the file with these changes and closed it, when I reopen the file I get that message.

Did something happen to the schedule I had made before closing the file? 

Sorry for so many questions, but I want to understand if I am doing something wrong in the settings or theoretical concepts on which I base my project management.

Since you have the “Duration adjusts“ mode enables, it will automatically calculate the values of the “Effort“ and “Unit“ columns which leads to the “Notice“ dialog box popping up.
If you do NOT want the “Notice“ dialog box to appear and to use the automatic calculations feature for those fields, I would highly recommend that you manually update them by changing the “Default Duration-Effort Adjustment mode“ to “Manual“.
For more information about “Default Duration-Effort Adjustment mode”, please refer to the link below.

Standard columns

I hope this helps to address your concerns.

@Shin Asaba, I take this opportunity to ask you one more thing. When I save I often get this error message.

(I translate the Italian message: "Unable to save changes. Copy the content and try reloading the page").

What is it due to? Maybe because the saving time of the updates is too long?

Thank you

I would highly recommend that you generate a new ticket through Ricksoft Support so that you can receive the support that better fits your needs.

I need to have my development look into your receiving error message.
