Some questions about Project Manager

[Silver_Salonen]

Hi.

I’ve started using E-Groupware’s Project Management module and I’ve played around with it a week or so. There are some things that are not very clear though… I’d appreciate any comments about the questions below

Is there any way to hide non-working time (hours and weekends) in ganttchart view?

How is people-resource planning meant in there? I’ve found that inserting todo’s seems more logical, but when I insert planned start- and end-times for them, I don’t get warnings about overlapping etc.

It would also be very nice if different people in ganttchart had different colors for their time-bars. Is it possible or are there any plans to implement it?

It’s also quite puzzling to see todo’s times in so many places (under todo itselt, under project management, under ganttchart etc). Is there any documentation about how and for what to use these different times?

What do “Synchronize all” and “Update” buttons do under ganttchart?

Thanks in advance for any information,
Silver

Hi.

I’ve started using E-Groupware’s Project Management module and I’ve played
around with it a week or so. There are some things that are not very clear
though… I’d appreciate any comments about the questions below

Is there any way to hide non-working time (hours and weekends) in ganttchart
view?
No not posible at the moment because of missing functionality with jpgraph.
How is people-resource planning meant in there? I’ve found that inserting
todo’s seems more logical, but when I insert planned start- and end-times
for them, I don’t get warnings about overlapping etc.
If people are selected as members in the projectmanager it self or in
the projectelements (not the app) you can select which ressources you
like to show.
It would also be very nice if different people in ganttchart had different
colors for their time-bars. Is it possible or are there any plans to
implement it?
Not at the moment.

documentation about how and for what to use these different times?
have a look into the manual or try our starter-workshop.
What do “Synchronize all” and “Update” buttons do under ganttchart?
synchronize all try to update changes coming from projectelements - this
especially necessary for chnages in sub projects getting the update in
the main project (sometimes necessary to click that twice). Update
simply for showing the gantt after changing some settings e.g. “show
planned time” - if there is no “onchange” on that item …

Thanks in advance for any information,
Silver

Thanks for the info… some more clarification requests though

How is people-resource planning meant in there? I’ve found that inserting
todo’s seems more logical, but when I insert planned start- and end-times
for them, I don’t get warnings about overlapping etc.

If people are selected as members in the projectmanager it self or in
the projectelements (not the app) you can select which ressources you
like to show.

What is more of a problem here is that InfoLog entries don’t show warnings about overlapping, but when planning things TO DO, using InfoLog seems more reasonable to use than is Calendar entry. But yeah… not warning about overlapping is bad for planning. So for planning it’s actually better to use Calendar entries?

It’s also quite puzzling to see todo’s times in so many places (under todo
itselt, under project management, under ganttchart etc). Is there any
documentation about how and for what to use these different times?

I did look at the manual, but there is not much information about that.

Going through starter-workshop for such little details seems a bit overkill
