Description of Staffing Timeline functionality.
Staffing Timeline is used to plan activities including resource allocation.
Planning the work of employees is one of the most important stages of each project. Every manager holding such a tool can easily plan the work of his employees on projects. Good planning work on the project will result in better development of the company.
Staffing Timline is an ideal tool for planning holidays of their employees.
The work on the projects can be planned with precision to an hour or rounded to the full days. When choosing the first option (detailed planning), the Working Hours (that can be set) come with help.
You can fix non-working days and take them on a Timeline. This functions is very useful because assigning a user on a project which needs spend a given number of hours and list of non-working days that occur in the meantime will not be taken into account when calculating the end date of the project. You have complete freedom of setting non-working days - you can choose the global non-working days (which is set in the section Administration -> Non-working days) or only for a specific macro.
The result of the planning is timeline on which they are graphically presented all the planned activities. Timeline can be freely zoom (eg. hourly zoom) and out (eg. annual zoom) and view a history of previous entries. At any time you can track the workload of each activity - just move the mouse over an entry on the Timeline, you will see a hint informing about the current progress in percentage of the project and the date of commencement and completion of the project.
The person who is adding a macro staffing timeline on a page can determine who can fully edit the contained data and who can only watch a Timeline.
You can export data from a Timeline to an Excel file with ".xslx" extension. Exported to an Excel, data can be used for later presentations. You can send generated excel to people who do not have access to the page with staffing timeline macro and show them results of your planning.
