Manage Projects and Subprojects
For the project node, there is a line behind the milestone icons that extends from the
start to the end of the project. The line is automatically calculated using the start and
end dates of all milestones, tasks, and subprojects under the project.

expand or hide elements in a project or subproject.
Right-click a project or click  for these options: Open (disabled for the
root project), Edit, Copy Link (copies the
project link to the clipboard), and Delete or
Remove for a contributing project. Note:
Deleting a project only
deletes the selected project and its tasks and milestones. Any child projects are not
deleted.
Drag a project (P1) that has a parent and drop it on to a different project (P2).
Double-click a subproject to change its properties. See Projects.

Blue  indicates an
on-time task with no compression. Compression takes into account the +/- margin on the
task's duration.
Orange  with one
chevron indicates a compressed task, one having its planned duration in the lower range of
the duration interval. For example, a task is compressed if it has an estimated duration of
10 days, +- 4 days, and a planned duration of 8 to 10 days.
Orange  with
2 chevrons indicates a highly compressed task, one having its planned duration in the higher
range of the duration interval. For example, a task is highly compressed if it has an
estimated duration of 10 days, +- 4 days, and a planned duration of 6 to 8 days.
You can drag a WeDo task from SwYm or from global search to the schedule in Project Planning.
You can drag a Project Planning, standalone, WeDo, or Lean task from the task board in
the Collaborative Tasks
app.
If a task has one or more assignees, a profile picture of an assignee is displayed by the
task name. If you hover over the profile picture, the full name of the user displays. If
there is more than one assignee, the number of additional assignees are displayed next to
the first assignee's image. If you hover over the "+X" string, full names of the additional
assignees are displayed.
You can drag tasks between projects. For example:
- Drag a task that has a parent and drop it on a different project.

project.
