How to set start dates for Basecamp cards

Set start dates for your Basecamp cards in Ganttify: turn a card’s due date into a time block and plan your whole Card Table on one Gantt chart timeline.

Your Basecamp Card Table shows when each card is due, and Ganttify lets you plan when the work starts. Open your Basecamp project in Ganttify and every card gets its own row, grouped like your Card Table. A card that only has a due date shows up as a checkmark on that day.

To set a start date, right-click the checkmark and choose “Convert to time block”. Drag the block’s left edge to the day the work begins. The block now runs from the start date to the due date, so you can see how long the work will take.

If a card needs more time, drag its block’s right edge to a later day. The card’s due date changes in Basecamp too, so your team sees the new deadline.

Do this for every card and your whole Basecamp project fits on one timeline, where you can see at a glance which cards run at the same time.
