This article outlines the 6/4/2025 update to the Prism Projects module, focusing on efficiency improvements for managing projects and tasks directly within the grid and timeline views. These updates are designed to streamline task creation, editing, and organization.
Editing Directly in the Main Grid
The Project's main grid now offers direct editing capabilities, enabling users to modify project information without navigating to individual project details:
- Inline Editing: Users can now edit project and task names, status, priority, and start and end dates directly within the grid.
- Date Selection: Start and end dates can be modified either by selecting a date from a calendar pop-up or by typing directly into the field.
- Task Sequencing: Easily reorder tasks by editing their start and end dates, making it simpler to sequence project tasks.
- Real-Time Updates: Changes made in the grid are updated instantly, providing immediate feedback and ensuring accuracy.
With these enhancements, users can efficiently manage project details directly from the main grid, improving overall project management efficiency.
Enhancements to Calendar and Gantt Views
Several enhancements have been made to the calendar and Gantt views, offering more flexible and intuitive ways to manage project timelines:
- Year and Quarter Toggles: The Gantt chart now includes year and quarter views, allowing users to see all projects up to an entire year at a time.
- Milestone Indicator: A visual diamond element has been introduced for milestone tasks, clearly distinguishing them from regular tasks.
- Drag-and-Drop Functionality: Users can now drag and drop both projects and project tasks in the calendar and Gantt views to quickly reschedule them. This includes resizing tasks to change their start and end dates (Gantt view only).
- Direct Date Editing: Users can edit start and end dates directly in the event pop-ups in both calendar and Gantt views, providing precise control over task scheduling.
These updates provide a more visually intuitive and efficient way to manage project timelines, making it easier to organize and adjust project schedules.
