Board View Settings - Other Options

Option Descriptions

Calendar (Active tasks)	Description	See Example
a. Milestone priority	Major Milestones have a Priority attribute which can be displayed on all upstream tasks linked, directly or indirectly, to the Major Milestone. Default = 1	1
b. Slack	The number of days a task’s completion can be delayed before it becomes the critical path. When Milestone Priority is also displayed, the format is Milestone Priority : Slack.	2
c. Empty rows	A resource row is "empty" when there are no Active tasks in the current calendar view or in the past and no Planned tasks in the next two weeks (no tasks in the Backlog) or in the past. This setting is project specific, so if Project A has empty rows and Project B does not, Project B continues to be displayed. Turning off "empty rows" reduces clutter and improves performance.	3
d. Resources with empty rows	If all projects are "empty" for a resource, the Resource row is removed entirely from the Huddle view. This option is only available if Empty Rows are not displayed. This reduces clutter and improves performance.	4
e. Whole day total	The total number of hours a resource has on all Active tasks across projects for each day.	5
f. Segment times	Displays each task segment’s Hours of Work.	6
g. Segments with zero work	Segments with zero Hours of Work.	7
h. Based On: Capacity Availability	The resource utilization dials are based on the resource’s capacity or availability, e.g., 75% of 8 hours (capacity) or 75% of 6 hours (availability).	8

Backlog (Planned tasks)	Description	See Example
i. Milestone priority	Major Milestones have a Priority attribute which can be displayed on all upstream tasks linked, directly or indirectly, to the Major Milestone. Default = 1	1
j. Slack	The number of days a task’s completion can be delayed before it becomes the critical path.	2
