Welcome to this user-friendly guide on how to effectively utilize the Project Views feature in Empress, designed specifically for our business users.
Introduction to Project Views in Empress
In the realm of project management, effective communication is key. That’s where Project Views step in. This feature provides a variety of visual presentations for your projects and tasks, including Gantt, Kanban, and Calendar views. These views make it simple to view, edit, sort, and track information - all from the familiar environment of your Empress user interface. Here’s how to put it to work for your business.
Exploring the Gantt View
Think of the Gantt View as a visual timeline of your projects and tasks. It’s an easy-to-understand chart that shows you at a glance how tasks relate to each other, their sequence and duration.
To access the Gantt View, navigate to your Task list and select ‘Gantt’ from the left sidebar. Once there, you can tailor the timeframe to suit your needs by selecting options like ‘Quarter Day’, ‘Half Day’, ‘Day’, ‘Week’, or ‘Month’. Need to adjust the start or end date of a task? Simply drag it along the timeline. And for a dash of personalization, Empress allows you to color-code your chart, making it even easier to interpret.
Navigating the Kanban View
The Kanban View is a task management method that originated from lean manufacturing processes. It visualizes tasks as cards on a board, divided into different stages of the task’s lifecycle.
To use the Kanban View, navigate to your Task list and select ‘Kanban’. Each task is represented by a card, and you can update a task’s status by moving its card from one column to the next. And just like the Gantt View, you can assign different colors to columns for easy reference.
Utilizing the Calendar View
The Calendar View, as the name suggests, maps your tasks onto a standard calendar. It’s an intuitive way to visualize your tasks and their timelines.
To use the Calendar View, navigate to your Task list and select ‘Calendar’. You’ll see your tasks spread across the days, weeks, and months, making it easy to plan and schedule your work.
Conclusion
In the fast-paced world of business, efficient project management can make all the difference. With Empress’s Project Views feature, you can ensure your projects stay on track and your team stays on the same page.
Remember, whether you’re visualizing your tasks on a Gantt chart, moving them through stages on a Kanban board, or plotting them out on a Calendar, Empress has your back. For more user-friendly guides, check out our support resources or contact us for personalized assistance.
