The Challenge

It wasn’t always obvious how long a folder of work would take, or when it was scheduled to start and finish. To find out, you had to expand folders and scan through tasks. Exports and prints didn’t always capture the full picture either, making reporting harder than it should be.

Your Feedback

You wanted faster, clearer visibility into folder timelines. The main challenges were:

  • No quick way to see folder start and end dates.
  • Durations that didn’t match your working calendar.
  • Exports and prints that lacked folder-level data.

The Update

We’ve added start dates, end dates, and durations directly to folders, packages, and parent tasks:

  • Dynamic Dates & Durations – Automatically calculated from visible tasks.
  • Custom Calendars – Choose the calendar (default, 5-day, or 7-day) that matches your team.
  • Filtered Views – Filtered values are clearly marked, with hover details showing totals vs filtered.
  • Exports & Prints – Folder timelines now included in CSV exports and Gantt prints.

Why You’ll Love It

Now you can see timelines instantly - no expanding, no manual maths. Whether planning or reporting, your project view is clearer, faster, and always accurate.
