Starting the app version 5.0, all chart issues can be tracked in one place, on the Chart health dialog. It is accessible via the Check chart health button on the toolbar.
A user can be redirected to the problematic task in a single click using the ‘Show task on the chart’ button.

By default, the chart issues are divided into 5 categories. Click the ‘Select categories to display button’ to hide or reorder the categories, if necessary. In addition, the starting date, finish date or time range can be selected to filter the tasks in the dialog.
What’s more, the conflicts resolution caused by “remaining work distribution“ has moved to the ‘Work completion’ category of the dialog. You can resolve the issue directly on the dialog using the ‘Set the end date equal to calculated’ button.

In the app version 5.0, task filtering functionality went through major makeover. The old filters such as ‘Filter by issue type’, ‘Filter by resource’ and ‘Filter by status’ are replaced by more advanced filters. Now, users can filter the tasks either by Gantt / Jira fields, or by JQL.

When Constant display of milestones is marked, milestones will be shown on parent tasks too (will roll up). This allows to see milestones on top levels even if the whole tree is collapsed. In example below, the milestone is shown on a collapsed project because Constant display of milestones is marked.
Show tasks sorted by a grid column, or sorted according to order defined in the chart JQL
