What's new in OnTime?

• 

  Messaging and undo

OnTime's new messaging and undo system stays out of the way, but as soon as you need them, they're right there. It couldn't be more convenient. Goof on a drag and drop to create a new subitem? No problem, simply click the undo option and your last action will be undone.

Adding items to OnTime has never been easier. Just press the [c] keyboard shortcut and add your item. If you need more than an item title, just click [tab] to open the full template, but if do not need add more information at the moment, clicking [enter] will save.

After adding all of your items (in seconds), you can quickly edit multiple items by dragging them onto a specific project, release, sprint, or user. Additionally, you can select multiple items and use the multi-edit feature.

  Updated look

OnTime has a beautiful and functional interface that users love. We are constantly striving to improve it. In this release, the View, Add, and Edit forms got a facelift. And there are a lot of other nice touches, too. For example, we improved the "save" and "cancel" buttons a long with the drag and drop attachment user interface.

  Subitems

One of the key concepts in Scrum, Agile & virtually all PM methodologies is breaking up big jobs into smaller ones. It's how stuff gets done. Now, OnTime handles this better than ever before...right in the grid.

Users can now drag and drop one or multiple items into another item, creating multiple subitems and one parent item.

Over a million software projects are managed on GitHub's SCM engine. Now, you can fully integrate your GitHub projects with OnTime's powerful bug tracking and project management.

  Drag and drop

OnTime's rich web UI just got richer. Drag items into folders or releases. Rearrange project folders. Drop an item on top of another item to create a subitem. This is how web-based project management should work.

Users can select multiple items at a time to drag and drop into the project, release, sprint, or user that they would like to assign the items to. This provides an extremely fast way to manage your items in OnTime.

  Keyboard shortcuts.

The web interface of OnTime 11 was revamped from the ground up to provide unparalleled performance.

Navigating the UI is a breeze and the all-new keyboard shortcuts allow common tasks to be performed with the blink of an eye.

Example: Pressing "c" will instantly provide the user with the options to enter a new item into OnTime.

While we were reworking OnTime from the ground up to improve performance, we made it a priority to simplify the UI with the approach that less is more. A simplified menu system and automatic settings memory make OnTime 11 a joy to work with.

Even though OnTime saves your last filter settings, it is a great idea to create various custom filters to save time in the future if you want to see that view again.

Example: Creating a custom filter that is grouped by priority, workflow, open items, and only assigned to a specific user comes in handy for developers looking to see what is important to them.

  Incredible power.

We felt strongly that nobody should have to compromise power to get simplicity and speed. With a powerful backend, incredible flexibility and the new sexy look and feel, OnTime now is more powerful than ever before.

• 

  Detailed view.

Wanna view the details of an item? Hit the [Enter] key and before the [Enter] key bounces back, OnTime will be showing you the details of the highlighted item. It is incredibly fast. Trust me, you'll be surprised at how fast it is. Here is what the new view item looks like.

Just as important as how fast the new Detailed View of an item loads is how fast it will go away and put you back at the main grid. Hit U and you're back up to the main grid, exactly how you left it.

Another great thing to try while in the detailed view mode is to hit the J and K keys to go to next and previous. Again, each new item will open faster than the keys can bounce back.

Ever spend 15 minutes writing up the details on how to reproduce a bug and then your browser crashes? Maybe you have to leave, so you close your laptop lid and two hours later, your session has timed out and you've lost all your details. Well, no more!

The new Auto Save feature which is inside the new HTML editor of OnTime V11 is saving your work to a local cache as you type. In the event of a crash, loss of connection or time out, no worries. Just bring back the browser and go back to the item you were editing and click the HTML control's new "Reload AutoSave" button and voila! Your work is safe and sound.

  Smart burndown charts.

In OnTime 11, the Burndown chart is super smart. For example, as you move from release to release, on the left sidebar, it will automatically update the burndown chart to reflect the currently selected release.

Sometimes, work on a given sprint or release might be done before or even after the official start and end dates. In such scenarios, the new burndown chart in OnTime will automatically adjust the start and end dates of the chart so that the work that is outside the start/end dates of a sprint can still be seen on the chart.

You can also hover over a bar in the chart to get values and trending information. It's the fastest and best burndown chart we've ever had.
