Board module | The purple color of dependencies means that the target task is out-of-view. | |
The "Task period alignment" section is redesigned. The "Precise alignment" option is available only for sequential boxes with sub-scope. | ||
The flow of deleting a skill is redesigned. You can remove skills along with their connections to resources or tasks. When you click the "Delete" button, you are informed if a skill is assigned to any resources or tasks. Once you confirm the removal, a skill that was related to any resources or tasks is deleted from those resources and tasks. | ||
Filtering | Basic tasks are included when using the date filter and in the export with date range. | |
There is a switcher for JQL/TEXT search. The colors of icons are adjusted: The icon changes its color to red if the JQL query typed is incorrect. | ||
Dependencies (soft links) | Links marked as soft (go to dependency configuration to check the link mapping) can be used as structure builders. | |
The "Closed date" column provides a possibility to compare the end date to the date of actual closing (changing the status to "Closed"). The column is not inline-editable and has the same aggregations as other types of the Date type i.e. None, Minimum, Maximum. | ||
Usability | Change the width of the "Group" column when grouping tasks. | |
You can see the Gantt timeline with months and week numbers simultaneously. New zoom steps on the Gantt timeline:
