Select and group move multiple cards in timeline view
in progress
Karlo Eldic
It would be useful to be able to select and move multiple cards in the timeline view.
Off the top of my head there are 2 scenarios that I see this used for:
- You plan out the project in advance but its delayed for some reason (funding is late, took more time to put the team together, etc.). You need to move all the cards bit further in the future. Logical way to do it would be to select all cards and just move them all together.
Right now it is practically impossible to do this because a project can consist of thousands of cards, and you need to go 1 by 1 in order to move them around.
- One feature is late for a week. The next 15 features depend on it. Since the first one is late, all others need to be moved a week into the future as well. Currently there is no other way to do it but to go one by one and move them.

Any updates on Timeline 2.0? Thanks

This is very high prio and will be baked into Timeline 2.0 coming this spring

Hans Dahlström: Also in timeline 2.0 i think it would be very useful to have something similiar to a "Gantt View": list of cards in sequential order on left hand, and visual timeline on the right hand. If for one reason to appeal to thoe stakeholders used to those view, but also because it does help to think the project in linear terms from time to time.

Alexandre Hartpence (Microids): What kind of tasks will be layed out in sequential order? We have seen thousands of projects and games over the years and it usually does not pan out well. The problem with Gantt charts is many fold:
* Often only the person who constructed the chart understand what it means
* It is often too detailed (days, hours, complex dependencies= and when production hits it does updates frequently and loose its meaning
* In reality dependencies or often end to end rather than start to end in a chart
A better option is to have an Epics roadmap (weeks to months) and then break down those to Kanban boards and tracking flow based metrics to see how they progress. You can contact us and we can show you how.

Hans Dahlström: I undertstand what you mean and I agree. Yet sometimes we still need to think heavily dependence wise : something very useful when thinking "timeline" is to list stuff to do on the left hand side and then start moving boxes from left to right, without changing the sequence of cards. Currently in Favro when I try to move stuff left and right to set time periods, the card may jump up or down inadvertently. Plus we have people that psychologically would be more comofrtable having that view available : understanding the sequence on left hand side, and how it unfold right hand side. Maybe a Gantt View different from timeline... ?

Alexandre Hartpence (Microids): Thanks for your input. In Timeline 2.0 we will come with about 15 improvements. UI / UX, multi select, batch editing, arraning cards. We can include you in the beta if you want?

Hans Dahlström: would love that yes

Moving all the cards at the same time.

It is very important to be able to move all the cards at the same time, keeping the dates between them.

This suggestion is regarding Timeline bulk move, an update to Timeline view is coming with this feature in it.
John Veneron
Dovidas Baranauskas: Out of curiosity, since the Timeline updates came today, did this feature make it in? Our team had been following this request and it does not appear to be available with the 2.0 update.
Dovidas Baranauskas
John Veneron: No, it did not make the cut on this update, it will be on the second batch of updates for timeline.
Mitchell Hansen
This is a HUGE must. Would make so many tasks much easier

Ability to slide multiple tasks timeline

When we have a Collection template, it will be really helpful if we can just set the start of that template, or maybe slide multiple tasks to a new date.

Ingrid is there a different setup than what Tommy has written? You can move cards by selecting multiple and moving with their data to another board.
