More people are using Elements to display a project portfolio landscape in order to make use the visual power of the assessments. This meant that we had to improve the element functionality to include a “Timeline” to allow users to make proper use of this feature. This timeline module will work like any other Element module (e.g. Metrics, Initiatives, Risks), i.e. it must be enabled as an element module in the Admin and users will be able to configure it in the “Configure Content” drop-down for the Element Overview.
-
We will be adding a new “Timeline Module” to the element overview. This module will have a “Detail Box” with 2 calculated fields (duration [difference between end date and start date in days] and time to finish [difference between end date and today’s date])
-
The module should have 2 input fields (start date and end date) and it will have a “Progress Bar” graphic that visually shows the time remaining.
-
The timeline can also be activated in the “Element list view” with columns for each field. Users can use the action buttons to complete timelines.
