Weâve added a setting for Timeline View to display one entity per lane. As a result, you can see full names and units of entities in this mode. This setting is handy for dense timelines.
Timeline View: indicate start or end date on a card
Now it is clear when an entity starts before or ends after visible timeline duration. You can also click on an arrow to jump to the beginning or end of an entity.
Configure Space via AI commands
Now you can modify Spaces using AI commands. For example, here we create a new Account database in CRM space with some fields:
Go to any Space and find Ask AI to configure in the top right corner.
What you can do?
Create, delete and rename databases
Create fields of various types and with specified values, rename and delete fields
Create relations, delete relations
Rename databases and fields
It can be handy if you need to quickly add many fields into some database or donât want to deal with UI.
The operation is relatively dangerous, so this is a two-steps process. First you describe what you need and click Generate changes button, Fibery shows what it will do, and you can apply these changes.
Snippets are a plain text version of the rich text field, and they are now available in formulas.
You can use the snippet field in the formula as a proxy for the rich text field. For example, you can generate the entity Name field from the snippet, which was not possible before.
So Iâm impressed with the release velocity as always and I donât have enough good things to say about Fibery. Yet I do have to say Iâve been waiting for this release for a while and now Iâm feeling a bit bummed out. Seeing full names and units of entities in the timeline view has been a necessity for a while, but killing off multiple entities in the same lane to achieve it feels like a step backwards.
Iâm hoping maybe this is an âin-betweenâ solution? Waterfall with dependencies view requires single lane for sure (i.e. Gannt, which we donât use) , and you might have that on the horizon, but timeline view virtually demands multiple entities per lane - thatâs kind of the point, isnât it? And in a dense roadmap - and different timeline views of just organizing projects and tasks, full names are essential, but granting full names at the cost of altering the essential structure of the entire view doesnât really work to me.
Possible Solutions:
Allow multi entity with full name in the same lane
Collision Step 1 - flip the label text alignment to left vs right
Collision Step 2 - if thereâs no room for left/right alignment switch, bump the new/updated entity label one row up/down
Collision Option - if Step 1 or 2 are not wanted, or not enough, make the label pop-out from the entity with a short lead line to point back to the entity (seen this in a few roadmap/timeline tools)
IMHO step 1 & 2 alone would probably be sufficient.
No doubt it involves more logic, but I had to switch off the single-lane option right away because it just disrupts the timeline view. At the same time, not having full label view has always been a problem - one that Iâve been really hoping will get solved, and one where I see and remember the issue being solved in other tools (without losing multi-entity in single lane).
This problem is relatively hard to solve. We tried to see how our existing component can handle it and did not find good ways. Did you see it solved in any other tool?
I like the improvements to the timeline view, especially after yesterdayâs additions! It looks much cleaner now, and full background coloring for items is a game changer for visual structure and emphasis.
However, I have to agree that now allowing contiguous items on the same lane, even if the labels donât overlap, really adds some visual clutter to an otherwise nicely separated week view:
Is there a way to keep same lane positioning, if the labels donât exceed the available space?
(This is btw with the âDisplay one Entity per Laneâ toggle disabled.)
