Funny - hi fellow MLO user. This request i am repeating since long on various conversations. However my request extends to all date-related grouping options available - i am looking back- and forward often time depending on the usecase. Best would be obviously in the grand scheme of things: - to start with the advancement of groupings - then later add GAANT for the better visualisation of the tasks from the same view
So @MLO team this would be really nice. And shuold be easily to implement for the groupings as it is only a minor tweak to the current grouping algorithm. -Alexander Radek Pilich schrieb am Montag, 19.
