Loving the new look and update.
Timescales are much better than Gantt. E.g., actually seeing the dates on month view is good.
One thing I want to see - a "fit" button, that fits it to the screen real estate.
Also want to be able to choose the sort order. It seems to put things in any old place top-bottom. We should be able to sort how we want and ALSO manually sort. So we could move something up or down the screen.
Two levels of "Group by". So group by Custom Field then by Status, for example.
Benjamin Bak
Not working on mobile/iPad app is a huge miss.
Vasil Enchev
Benjamin BakBenjamin — mobile and iPad Timeline parity is a real gap. We're not promising it as part of Timeline 4.5 (this round is web-focused), but I'd love your input on the priority: is it about
viewing
Timeline on mobile (read-only at standup, etc.), or actually editing
dates on the go (drag bars, reassign)? Different scopes, different timelines.Benjamin Bak
Vasil Enchev The priority is viewing, because you can currently accidentally rearrange task dates when scrolling on a web view with a touchscreen device. It would be great if there were a proper 'viewer' in the mobile app. I think full functionality is the longer-term goal.

I would love to have tags visible so I can see which task is for which client. That way I can see who is working on what and when.
Vasil Enchev
Clinton GreggorClinton — tags on Timeline bars is one of the most-asked items. It's tied to Fields support for Timeline & Workload (247 votes) which is on our
future
roadmap. Are tags your primary client-identifier today, or are you also using custom fields / lists per client? If we get this right we want to support all three.Josh Freeman
I love that you guys ask users for stuff like this. Batch drag and drop would be so helpful!
Vasil Enchev
Josh FreemanJosh — thanks for the kind words 🙏 batch operations on Timeline (drag many tasks at once, shift dates together) keeps coming up. We've started scoping. Quick Q: what's your most common batch operation —
shift dates by N days
(push a milestone), reassign to someone else
, or move into a different list
? Helps us decide which actions are first-class.Josh Freeman
Vasil Enchev Shifting to new days (pushing a milestone, etc.)
