This month we added baselines and effort checks to the Gantt chart, updated the import/export to generate and read excel files and added a % complete widget to the trackers.
We also picked up a number of backlog items, this is what was changed:
Improved Gantt chart:
You can now baseline the Gantt chart, compare your current planning against the saved baseline and restore the baseline values.
Introduced 'effort ratio' from the 'plan check' menu that gives you insight in the ratio between the effort that is still required and the effort that is available.
In the Gantt, the critical path setting needs to be set manually as it makes the gantt slow and is often only used for a short time.
Default setting for list order is now set to the board order, you can reverse the list order from gantt sub-menu ('set order').
Improved export:
Export boards can now generate an excel file from the overview.
Export can now export all card attributes
Export can export date and number values in different formats to support multiple locales.
Improved import:
Import boards can now read excel files to be imported
Import boards can automatically load an MS Project exported excel file.
Import can now import card dependencies
Import can now import checklists and items also
Improved navigation:
Right-hand panel can now be opened and closed when clicking on an item on the main page.
Right-hand panel now has a button on the top of the panel to close the panel.
Right-hand panel auto-close is removed, this turned out to be too confusing.
Selecting boards and bookmarks to load from the 'Select boards' button in the top left corner is improved. We added a clear 'Select bookmarks' / 'Select boards' button to switch between boards and bookmarks.
Other updates:
You can now copy a board with one click from the overview page (https://placker.com/app#/overview).
Added notification for unsaved changed on the card-overview page, you will now get a reminder to save or discard changes.
You can now delete either the mirrored link or delete the link and the mirrored card from the mirror settings.
Comments are now also shown to view-only users.
