[#203]

Hello,

First of all congratulations for your project, make sure the developpememt and support!
My questions:
1) I want to know the planning of future developments? You talk about "Track Data Base", but how to connect? My login does not work
2) I have two major needs:
- Ticket # 399,
- Add field to Specify unit: hours or day,

Proposed evolution:
- Ability to assign a resource to many project with a rate (50/50)
- Calendar by resource to manage the discharge planning

Thank you in advance

You can acces the track database throught the "track" menu.
Direct access is http://projectorria.toolware.fr/track .
Log as guest/guest (or invité/invité).

Major need :
- #399 : not planned yet. I raised status to "assigned" to plan it. Not sure it will be included in next version.
- add field to specify unit : hours or days. It is ticket #387. It was not one of the most expected feature in the recent poll. So it will probably not be included in V1.8.0.

Most expected features are :
- reminders and alerts : ongoing work
- export to MS-Project : next palnned evolution

Proposed evolution :
- Ability to assign a resource to many project with a rate (50/50)
=> It is possible yet. Assignation to a project (called affectation to make the difference with assignation to activity) takes into account affectation rate. Have a look at "Planning" in the manual for more information.

- Calendar by resource
=> could you explain your need ? If it is to take into account holidays for resources, the best is to define a specific project for this need, and resource will enter real work for planned holidays, so that work will not be planned these days. This also helps to count remaining holidays not planned yet (you assigned total days at the beginning of the year).

Regards

Thank you for your return,

I think the ticket # 399 is important because it is long enough to copy several of the same sub-project:

Exemple
- Milestone input (1 or more)
- Task 1 => Duration
- Task 2 => Duration
- Task 3 => Duration
- Milestone output (1 or more)

Make configurable:
- Number of Milestone and Task
- Duration of the task

We could save several sub-project.

This would make planning faster.

For holiday, my idea is to define non-working days per person. This parameter is filled in a simple GUI for the user or project manager in User or assignment.

Hi,

IMO, the more simple and more fluent is to propose a Copy for projet that would copy the entire structure of the project, including activities and milstones; without any limit.

About holidays, I will continue to encourage using a specific project.
Using specific calendards for each user will :
- complexify planning algorythm
- reduce visibility of project leader to availability of resource

These two points confirms the idea I have since several weeks that a Type of Project must be added.
We could then define :
- operational project
- administrative project (holidays, sickness, training)
- template project

Ok good idea to manage multiple projects, but:
For me I would replace "administrative project" with "not project activities"
It must:
1) the administrator writes the list of non-project activities (holidays, training, support, ...)
2) The "not project activities" planning activities must not be shown not to saturate the display.

For Project Template => I do not understand: "IMO, the more simple and more fluent?"

"IMO, the more simple and more fluent?"

means :

In my opinion, the more easy to develop, and more easy to use ...

Bug:
- Connection with profile "Project Leader" => schedule does not appear, Ok with admin ?

improvement:
- Currently difficult to easily remove activity (liked by dependencies)
- If parent activity can copy operations "child"

Other possible changes:
- Select multiple activity or milestone before recording.
- Idem to add resources.
- Calculating critical path
- When the user did not record: Submit to save and continue the action requested.
- Add Export To Excel (same Export to PDF) with possibility d'export a lot of activity (project ?)

Could you give some precisions :
- Could you detail ""schedule does not appear" ?
- Is the project leader affected to projects ?

- Currently difficult to easily remove activity (liked by dependencies)

Remove of Activity with dependencies should not be easy.
If dependencies exist, then the activity has some kind of importance.
To easily remove an activity from view, just set it as cancelled (it will be closed)

- If parent activity can copy operations "child"

I don't understand the request. Could you explain ?

- Select multiple activity or milestone before recording.
- Idem to add resources.

Add Export To Excel (same Export to PDF) with possibility d'export a lot of activity (project ?)

- Calculating critical path.

Interesting idea. Registered as ticket #433.

- When the user did not record: Submit to save and continue the action requested.

Already suggested. Implementation difficult because of management of errors on save.

Add Export To Excel (same Export to PDF) with possibility d'export a lot of activity (project ?)

Interesting idea. Registered as ticket #434.

Sorry for the delay.

1) During my connection with the profile "CDP" I could not see the schedule "GANT" => Empty screen. For info, CDP was well assigned to the project

2) You can copy actvities but not a "parent activity "(with sub-activities)

3) When you plan the next version?

Thanks
