ENHANCED CONTROL TO USERS IN PLACEMENT OF TASKS ALONG A TIMELINE

摘要

An aspect of the present disclosure provides enhanced control to users in the placement of tasks along timelines. In an embodiment, task data specifying details of multiple tasks scheduled along a timeline, is maintained. The tasks are displayed along the timeline. A candidate position is received for a first task along the timeline. In response, the task data is examined to identify a set of tasks scheduled in a time slice covering the candidate position, and data related to identified set of tasks is collected. The collected data is then sent for display, for example, in a viewport associated with the first task.
