# Project Management Software: Gantt, Kanban | SmartPM

Manage projects with lists, Kanban boards and Gantt charts; dependencies, critical path, time tracking and client access in one place.

# Your projects on one plan, delivered on time

SmartPM is a web-based project management software for teams and project managers, planning tasks via lists, Kanban, and Gantt charts; when one task slips, dependent tasks shift automatically, and the critical path is always at hand.

- Log in with your DBLinx account

- Separate database for each organization

- Limited access for your customer

## See it the way your team works

## When a task slips, the plan adjusts itself

Link tasks as “Start after Finish”, “Start together”, “Finish together” or “Finish after Start”. If a predecessor extends, successors shift forward preserving their durations; weekends are excluded.

- Drag the bar to move it, drag the edge to extend it

- Critical path tasks are red, slack shown beside them

- The system rejects circular dependencies

## Your customer sees only what you open

Add your customer to the project with the Customer role. They see the tasks you open and can comment; internal tasks, time records and team list remain hidden from them.

- "Visible to Customer" toggle per task

- Customer approves or requests changes with a note

- Customer cannot open projects or change tasks

- No separate portal account, same DBLinx login

## Duration tracked alongside work

Press Start on the task panel; the timer runs in the top bar and stops the previous one automatically when you switch tasks. If you forget, enter duration manually.

- One timer per user, continues even if the page changes

- Daily totals in the weekly timesheet

- Export to CSV then Excel

## The foundation of project management, simplified

### Task and subtask

Status, priority, date, progress and multiple assignees.

### Milestone

Important single-day events such as approvals and releases appear as diamonds in the chart.

### Project Roles

Administrator, member, viewer and customer; everyone sees only what their permissions allow.

### Comments, notifications, files

Discuss on the task, @-mention a colleague, attach a draft to the task. All relevant parties are notified via bell icon and email.

### Your own columns

Name, colour and mark Kanban columns as “counts as done”.

### Archive

Archive completed projects, restore if needed.

## Frequently asked questions

**How do I log in to SmartPM?**

SmartPM opens with your DBLinx account. When you visit your organisation’s address (pm.dblinx.net), you are redirected to the DBLinx login page; after logging in, you return to your projects. There is no separate SmartPM password.

**What happens if a task is delayed?**

When you push a task’s end date forward, dependent tasks shift forward preserving their durations based on the dependency type and delay. SmartPM only pushes forward; it does not overwrite later dates you set manually. The screen reports how many tasks were affected.

**Does my customer see everything in the project?**

No. A person with the Customer role sees only the project they are part of and the tasks you have marked “Visible to Customer” within that project, and can comment on those tasks. Internal tasks, time records and the team list are not shown to them.
