Timeshift Tasks (v8.xx)
The target of the feature “Timeshift Items” is to move a bunch of items (phases, tasks & milestones) from the plan in total, without selecting them one by one. Although it is possible to move single tasks by “Timeshift Activities” it is mainly used for moving whole projects (sometimes phases)
e.g. because they are postponed or the new plan is a copy of another project from the past.
Note: Only tasks with no actuals from the Timesheets and with the status “Stand-By” or “Requested” can be moved.
How to Timeshift
Klick on Icon “Timeshift Items” in the menu bar of the Genius planner.
To timeshift a whole project, select the name of the project in the left window or click somewhere in the window of the bars.
To timeshift a phase click on the phase.
To timeshift a bunch of items select the items in the left window. To timeshift a single item select the items.
After selection, please click on the timeshift icon and select the date you want to timeshift the items to.
Timeshift Constraints
By shifting the selected items, the start date will be kept on the same day of the week. So it is only possible to timeshift the selected items per week on the same weekday as the first item. The gap between the different items will remain.
It is not possible to move a project, where the first item is on Monday in a way that this first item is on another week day (like Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday). This might be a bit confusing as (for development reasons) it is still possible to select ANY day of the year. But beside of what which day is selected, the system will move the first item on the same weekday within the selected week. The gaps between the tasks, as mentioned before, will remain.
Note: All rules work for timeshifting in the past in the same way.
