🧼 Blank Canvas Phases in InTakt
Sometimes work doesn’t follow a strict takt rhythm—or you want flexibility for custom planning. The Blank Canvas feature allows you to create a freeform phase where you can manually build tasks from scratch.
🎨 How to Create a Blank Canvas Phase
- Open Takt Settings
- Navigate to your schedule’s settings.
- Add a New Phase
- Name it something like
Blank Phaseor use your own label. - Copy floor or area labels from another phase if desired.
- Enable Blank Canvas
- Check the “Blank Canvas” option to create the phase with no predefined tasks.
- Save the Phase
- You’ll now see a completely empty phase ready for custom scheduling.
🧱 Building Tasks from Scratch
- Add tasks individually—name, duration, and color are fully customizable.
- Create any logic links: within the phase or to other phases.
- Ideal for:
- One-off work items
- Punch list or handover scopes
- Temporary activities not on the master takt train
🎯 Why Use Blank Canvas?
- Supports non-takt work without disrupting your main rhythm.
- Great for design scopes, closeout, or recovery planning.
- Gives teams creative control for planning outside the box.
