Better Access Control, Fine Enhancements and Bug Fixes that make Planning Module for activeCollab even more powerful

Planning Module is our most loved, most recommended, best selling product. 892 clients and getting stronger every day!

Top feature requests for Planning Module are better printing, editable Gantt charts, resource management and task dependencies. Now these are major items and while we are putting forces behind them, I wanted to get one release out that fixes some odd issues and adds subtle, but very useful enhancements.

So we released Planning Module 1.7 today. Here’s list of all changes.

Enhancements:

Friendly and Numeric Hour Formats

  • Limit what sections users can see within Planning module – Outline, Cards or Timeline. Now you can give clients access only to Timeline.
  • Estimates / Actual Hours can now be seen in numeric format within Planning module. Select this from the Settings menu at top right.
  • Force update parent estimates even when their existing estimates are greater than the sum of estimates of children. Select this from the Settings menu at top right.
  • Brought back maroon color highlight on overdue items
  • Rescheduling a Milestone from activeCollab now correctly adjust start dates
  • Adjustment to fonts for better Unicode support

Fixes:

  • Error when saving a plan
  • Expand All does not expand all on reload
  • outline.png image missing from Quick Start page

    I like your product the 3 things I see missing are:
    1. Interacting with Gantt chart to modify task dates
    2. Assigning on the Outline tab, should really be a drop down list
    3. Task dependencies

      @Yehia:

      1. Editable Gantt chart is on our roadmap. Though I can’t promise when it’d be available.
      2. You can use a drop down in the Batch Update mode in Outline. Single items can even take initials (e.g. YS for your name)
      3. Task dependencies is something that activeCollab does not support yet, and adding it from a third party module is not something they may like! So we have kept it on hold…
