Global Lists: Timeline Segments
System Setup | Adding Timeline Segments | Assign To Tasks | Resources
In order to help visualize and report on major project milestones, Workamajig has created Timeline Segments. After defining the segments, you are able to set a detail level task or summary task with a colored and named marker for use in many of your traffic and project related reporting. This allows you to quickly filter and visualize across a Gantt schedule view where major milestones are falling on the calendar.
