Now Wrike Users Can Easily Print a Timeline

Published by Valerie   |  Sunday, 04 May, 2008
We are delighted to tell you that we have released a new feature –  timeline printing.

To get a printed version of a timeline, you no longer need to take its screenshot and paste it from a clipboard to Word/Paint/etc. to be able to print it afterward.

Thanks to the new Wrike feature, all you have to do is  click on the “Print” icon in the upper right corner of a timeline view. You instantly get a graphic file in the PNG format, ready to print. It evidently saves you time and effort.

Besides, an additional size option allows you to have your timeline printed in the scale you need. You can choose the necessary scale for  the timeline view by selecting weeks, months, quarters or years in zoom.


So, you quickly get a handy printed version of your project plan that can be helpful at meetings and presentations.

The timeline printing feature is our response to our users’ numerous requests that we are always willing to listen to. We are glad to develop the most practical project management tool the way users need it.

Enhancements in Wrike’s Timeline

Besides working on the tasks that need to be done, many of our users wanted to easily see what tasks are already done. We added this feature, so now you can get a full picture of your project plan. Completed tasks, as well as active ones, can be now displayed on a timeline.

img You can choose to view all tasks on a timeline (both active and completed), if you need a visual presentation of your entire project plan. If you want to reschedule only tasks that are planned, you can display only active tasks that aren't completed.

We  also added more distinctive visuals on a timeline view to help you quickly get a clear project picture. Completed tasks are grey now, active tasks are blue, and overdue tasks are red.

The Timeline goes live

Published by Valerie   |  Tuesday, 05 June, 2007
We have developed a Timeline, which is mostly known as a Gantt Chart. Now you can:

- have the big picture of parallel projects,
- track the work load of your team members, and
- create elegantly designed outlines of plans.

All these tasks are a huge challenge when using other online project management and collaboration tools, aren’t they?

Here is a short demo for you.



Some technical details.
The red flag marks the due date, and the floating bar chart represents the task duration. So you can easily drag a bar and thus change the start date of a task. To change the task duration, you only need to pull the bar’s borders. The red flag - the due date – keeps you from accidentally overstepping the deadline and doesn’t allow the bar chart to move outside of it.
