Snapping time unit too big!

Hello Fellow Astarnians,

Anyone know how to make the snapping time unit default to 1 hour? Half day is the lowest I can see listed.

Hoping to use Asta for shutdown planning and scheduling where tasks are planned down to 20 minutes!

While I'm at it, selecting year / month / day is brilliant in the date selection, would be great if went next level - to hours, can I request for Asta wish list?

Yours in faithfull anticipation,

Craig Adams

Hi Craig,

Go to Library Explorer, Display "Time Unit" folder, double click on it, display "Exclude From Snapping Units" column and untick checkbox next to Hours.

Hope this helps.

Hi Mike,

Found tools options snap time to hours , thanks but back in main section that dropdown's smallest default is still half day. 

Must say though, now when l draw in new task it is allowing a two hour task rather than half day so all good!

Regarding time selecting what I mean there is at the moment you can pick everything from a pick list,Year, Month, Day , but then you have to select over the time and type it in, it would be great if you could also pick the time  from a pick hit as I find this method very fast.  One for the wish list!

 Cheers,

 Craig Adams.

Hi Craig

When I use the snap dropdown on the icon list hours are an option.

I would also check in the Tools > Edit section that the Snap assignments box is ticked.

You can format the date column to show time in hours after the date - I prefer to format the date column usiing:

dd-MMM-yy:HH-mm

Best regards
