How do you use a checklist inside a Gantt stage to track subtask progress?

In Jestor, each stage created within a project's Gantt chart can have its own checklist, with checkable items, letting you visually track how much of that stage is done through a percentage progress bar.

How the checklist works

When you create a stage in the Gantt chart — like "bank homologation" — you can add a checklist with as many items as needed, functioning as sub-items of that stage. As each item is marked complete, the checklist's percentage bar moves forward, giving a clear view of how much is left to finish the stage.

How to create a checklist in a stage

1. Open or create a stage within the project's Gantt chart.
2. Set the title, linked project, and start and end dates.
3. Add the checklist items, one for each subtask in that stage.
4. Check items off as they're completed — the progress bar updates automatically.
