2.2. Planning settings¶
2.2.1. Configure the settings options¶
- Milestone row
- Activating the Milestone row creates an empty space at the top of the board, above the other rows, to be used to highlight important events in the schedule, or simply to store elements.
- Parking lot
Activate an empty column on the right side of the board when the parking lot size is selected. Activating an empty column creates an empty space at the right side of the board, to be used to track important items, ideas and issues that may not be useful to discuss at a time in the agenda. The principle is to return to them later.
Four sizes for the Parking lot are available:
- Small : 210 px
- Medium : 420 px
- Large : 840 px
- Extra large : 1260 px
Tip
If you don’t want to display a Parking lot in your DCM, select No Parking lot.
