From email: Scheduling down to minutes required

[DmitryBarashev]

This came by email

I like your tool a lot, but unfortunately I cannot use it. I require scheduling capabilities down to hours (better: minutes).

I assume, that I am not the only one having raised this request. I see, that your time format already permits displaying dates with hours and minutes. But start/end dates and durations do not allow this.

For the duration of tasks, even fractions of days would be sufficient (e.g. 0.5 days).

This problem was discussed here a few times. Please see discussions:

New features request

This feature can be done in general. As formulated in this particular topic (up to 2 decimal digits => 15 minutes precision) it is expensive bothin terms of time, efforts and consequently money. The costs include not only working with code, but also UI (re)design. While being expensive, the risks that this feature will most likely break something for those who don’t need minute and even hour resolution (believe me that many, if not absolute majority of our customers who usually work in construc…

Task duration with decimal

The impact of adding hours is basically rewriting the major part of the codebase. No, we have no such plans. The impact of splitting the day into say 4 parts is more manageble, but again it is not for the nearest updates.

Hi to all,
I’ve solved this issue using the percentage of use of the resource.
i.e. considering normal working day about 8 hours, one hour is 15%; 15min are considered 0.5%.
You can add info on the activities by new fields ( I’m managed this for internal and customer due date that should be diferent from the end of the activity).

Hi,

I’m looking how to enter the effort for a task. This differs from the duration, depending when people can work on it.

Effort-driven scheduling is not yet supported, sorry.

Please consider starting new topic rather than adding comments to existing topics, unless the existing one is relevant. When you comment on existing topic, all those who previously participated in the discussion get notifications by email, and probably they are not happy to see irrelevant comments (this particular topic is about time granularity).
