These 2 events are close in time however I’ve grouped similar events together using the PARENT feature and it’s difficult to get an understanding of the relationship between events that are nested in parents but occur around the same time.
Could there be a feature that allows you to toggle between VIEWING WITH PARENT and not viewing with parent?
Also a feature to EXPAND and COLLAPSE ALL parents at the same time?
In regards to your second request, you can select all your events (Edit->Select All), and then choose to expand/collapse all expanded items by going to View->Expand Parent Item or View->Collapse Parent Item.
This will mostly be the same as expanding/collapsing all parents at the same time, except for nested items. (eg. A is the parent of B, which is the parent of C). If everything is collapsed, and you select all the events, choosing Expand Parent Item will only expand A, not B. You will have to repeat the process to then expand all the parents at the next level.
Thank you. How about the first request? A single click to view all events in chronological order.
I will add it to our feature request list
Sorry - I should clarify. A feature which allows you to see all child events in chronological order - free of their parents - with a single click.
Yes! This would be AMAZING!
I can’t tell you how many times I had an event nested inside a parent event and had no clue that it was concurrent to another event because the parent event started so much earlier in the timeline that it was off the screen when I was viewing the second event.
I was wondering if there was any movement on adding this feature? It would be very helpful to be able to (1) see certain events grouped under a parent but also (2) in chronological order with a simple switch.
There will be nesting and grouping improvements in version 3.5, although we can’t say for sure the exact features that will make it yet.
Are you able to go into more detail by what you mean by “relationship between close events”? (from your original picture). It is helpful for the developers to understand how people are using the software and what they would use new features for.
In case it is helpful to you, you can also right click on the parent arrows to expand/collapse all instead of having to select all
