Usability improvements
- Anna Ciepłota
Search and snipe to task
Use the Snipe to result option to highlight all tasks that fit the search criteria. It works similarly to the "Ctrl+F" feature in any web browser. The task is dynamically highlighted.
Task dates visibility and resizing
As tasks are moved within the Resources timeline, their dates are now visible on the side. Additionally, tasks can be resized more intuitively, providing a clearer and more user-friendly interface for adjusting task durations.
Tooltips Added
Tooltips have been incorporated into the interface, offering quick access to additional information about tasks and other elements within the Resources module. This enhances user experience by providing relevant details without cluttering the main view.
Grid cells show units
The grid cells now display units, making it easier for users to understand the scale and timeframes of the tasks at a glance. This feature ensures that users can quickly grasp the duration and deadlines of tasks without needing to delve into detailed views.
Jump to the nearest task in a swimlane
A new functionality allows users to quickly jump to the nearest task. This feature is particularly useful for large projects with numerous tasks, as it saves time and improves navigation efficiency.
Custom task colors on resources
Tasks can now be color-coded according to user preferences, making it easier to distinguish between different types of tasks or project phases at a glance. This customization enhances the visual organization and management of tasks within the chart. Task coloring is consistent across BigPicture - the same task colors can be seen in the Gantt module.
