This section depicts the time estimate of a task and displays it to fill the entire day.
Toolboxes
On the right side of the screen you will find two toolboxes:
- One that gives access to an overview of tasks that can be chosen and scheduled
- One that gives access to choosing which users should be shown on the timeline
As seen above, the toolboxes will appear once you move the cursor across one of their icons, and disappear again when you move the cursor away from the boxes. Read on for more on these.
Tasks toolbox
This toolbox (which shows the tasks) can be locked so that it always will be shown - this is done by clicking on the small pin at the top right corner.
You can choose which tasks should be available from the "Tasks"-menu, and if there are any tasks in the pool, the whole pool will be included in the menu. The list of tasks can be further filtered by choosing which team the tasks should be attached to, and finally sorted for easier retrieval.
When dragging a task to the timeline, there are boxes that are colour coded which have the following meaning:
- Red means that the task is not suited for today or that the deadline has been crossed
- Blue nuances specify whether the task is wholly, partly, or not planned at all.
You can also drag a task to another date or time. You can also drag the left and right edges of a box to change its duration.
Upon choosing a task, information regarding it takes up one line with the company's name and task. Further information can be retrieved e.g. how many hours are currently registered, by expanding it as such:
Users toolbox
From this toolbox, you can filter which users should be shown on the timeline. Only users for a specific team is shown - this is chosen through "Team".
"Only working" specifies that the user who is at work during the course of the chosen period should be taken into account. During holidays, these users will therefore not be shown.
"Competencies" allow you to specify certain competencies that the users need to have, in order to be shown on the timeline.
