Hello,

in some screen (ie planning), there is a possibility to set display dates (from...to), but these dates are stored for user, and not for project. Then, actualy, an user can set viewing dates but these dates applies for ALL projects.

However, it will be great to be able to store these date for user AND project (ie : user 1 want to see planning for project 3 from 01/01/2012 to 12/31/2012, but user 4 prefer to see project 3 from 06/01/2012 to 10/30/2012, but user 1 want to see project 9 only from 03/01/2012 to 09/01/2012).

Then, each user can set is how set of viewing parameters for EACH project.

Regards,

I think I understand the request, but need to understand the need.

What you need is to get a default display start and end dates for project.
Do you really need this to be ddifferent for each user on a given project.
What to display when you select several projects ?

The idea would be to define start & end display dates for project.
Then use these dates as default when project is selected.
Use min of start and max of end when mutli projects are selected.
Then, selection dates are kept as is : change the calculated dates.
I'll have to think about this design, because it could be a performance issue compared to ease of use brought.

There is a real request from users in my case.

We have most type of users (Management staff, MOA, Team manager, Project leader). Each need to view project with a different scope.

For exemple, Management staff want to see the entire project, Team manager the part from today to end of project and project leader the part from today to next 15 days...

However, scope is not the same for all projects (ie some projects start on january for 6 months and others one start from june for 2 years...).

Then, this is not blocking, but a real need report by users.

The idea would be to define start & end display dates for project.
Then use these dates as default when project is selected.
Use min of start and max of end when mutli projects are selected.

This seems to be right, the more efficent compromise.

Existing can fit the described need.

Management staff want to see the entire project

remove start and end dates => will display entire project

Team manager the part from today to end of project

Leave as default (start date = today, end date = end of project)

project leader the part from today to next 15 days

Select end date = today +15 days.
