Comments
Suggestions
- Rightmost column's width in collapsible table seems fixed. Is there a way round this? (wanted 15px).
Done
Enhanced to
- Make the default not collapsed and added a parameter to set this.
- Use collapsible tables.
- Have the colour of the top left cell indicate the priority of the task, the title cell background colour to indicate the amount of effort the task might require, and add a thin right column whose colour indicates status/progress.
- Allow users of the template indicate by labels rather than colours via "look-up templates" (i.e. indicate priority as "high" rather than "red", etc. In this way, the colour schemes may be edited in one place without having to edit all the instances of its use.
- Include a last row summarising the colour indications for those who cannot see them.
