Written by UDA Corporate Newsroom | September 18, 2023

As a part of providing cutting-edge construction management software, UDA releases regular updates, enhancements, and new features to its award-winning construction management platform—ConstructionOnline™. Recent additions to the platform include - 

ONPLAN™ SCHEDULING

  • New Milestone Timeline blade which displays a scrollable timeline of Schedule Milestones for Project Scheduling & Multi-Project Scheduling 
    • The new Milestone Timeline blade can be engaged from:
      • Multi-Project Scheduling by right-clicking on the desired Schedule from the List or Gantt View and choosing the “Milestone Timeline” option,
      • Project Scheduling by clicking the gray three-dot action menu in the top right-hand corner and choosing the “Milestone Timeline” option,
      • Or by clicking the vertical timeline icon on the right side of the Multi-Project Scheduling or Scheduling page.
    • The Milestone Timeline blade displays the selected Schedule’s Start & End Dates, all of the Schedule’s Milestones, and “Time Skips” for any periods of time where there is not a scheduled Milestone for more than 30 days all along vertical timeline.
      • Please note: If the Schedule is not long enough to fill the height of the blade, extra months will be added to the end of the Timeline to fill the blade.
    • Milestones can be marked Complete or Incomplete from within the Timeline blade by selecting or deselecting the checkmark icon next to the desired Milestone.
      • Please note: Only users with “Can Create, Edit, & Delete” permissions can mark Milestones Complete or Incomplete within the Timeline blade.
    • Additionally, the selected Schedule is responsive to the Milestone Timeline meaning clicking Milestones from the Timeline will scroll the Schedule to the selected Milestone and/or selecting a different Schedule while the Timeline blade is open within Multi-Project Scheduling will initiate the blade to update the data displayed for the selected Schedule
