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

When creating a stage in Jestor's project Gantt, you can add a checklist with several sub-items for that stage, checking off each one as done and automatically tracking progress through a percentage bar.

Why does a checklist inside the stage help with tracking?

A single project stage often hides several smaller tasks within it — like "legal approval," "deployment," or "training." Without a checklist, it's hard to tell whether the stage is close to done or still has a long way to go, since the Gantt chart alone only shows the expected start and end.

How to configure a stage's checklist in Jestor?

In the project's Gantt, click to create a new stage.
Set the title, the linked project, and the expected start and end dates.
In the checklist section, add the sub-items that make up that stage.
Check off each sub-item as work progresses; the checklist's percentage bar updates automatically.

Element	Function
Gantt stage	Defines the expected start and end of a project phase
Stage checklist	List of sub-items with its own progress bar

Why choose Jestor?

Since the checklist is directly linked to the stage within the same project management app integrated with Omie, tracking subtasks requires no extra checklist tool or side spreadsheet in Jestor.

Can I filter stages by checklist progress? You can use the Gantt's filters to find stages by project or by how close they are to completion.
