# New Gantt (cf.cplace.projectPlanning.app.gantt2.gantt2)

## Overview

The New Gantt app provides the "New Gantt" widget, which enables the visualization and editing of planning elements and hybrid elements. It is built on the Bryntum Gantt framework and offers modern, interactive Gantt chart capabilities.

**Important**: This app provides **only a widget** - no types are included. It requires existing schedule/task types (typically from Project Planning apps) to display and edit.

## Dependencies

- **cf.cplace.platform** (cplace Basis) - always installed

No additional apps are auto-installed with this app.

## Types Provided

**None** - This app does not provide any types. It is a pure widget app that works with existing schedule and planning types from other apps (such as Project Planning Basic/Extended).

| Widget | Internal Name | Description | Use Case |
|--------|---------------|-------------|----------|
| New Gantt / Neues Gantt | `cf.projektplanung.gantt` | Interactive Gantt chart for visualizing and editing planning elements | Project scheduling, timeline visualization, dependency management |
