As I’m evaluating Fibery, I’m missing some key features for product roadmapping that will keep me from migrating to it. This is mainly in regard to the Board view (aka swimlane, card), which I have found is significantly more consumable for stakeholders compared to a timeline view and is a critical …

Hey Nick, Thanks for the feedback! The part about dates goes together with the Partial date entry topic. There is a workaround (auxiliary Types) that we described in option 2, but we realize it’s a :poop: solution. Your post motivates us to look for a better one (: Cannot group by calculated val…

[image] antoniokov: Well, Fibery does support grouping by lookup Fields. Could you please provide the setup that didn’t work for you (here on via Intercom)? We’ll take a look. It seemed easier to show what I was trying with screenshots. I think what I’m seeing is the same unclear limitation f…

While the dates comments are more complicated, I wanted to reiterate my less-complicated issues here: First, support grouping by all the things, then apply limitations on the moving of the items where it is complicated to do so. As-is, it isn’t clear why some things are showing up and others aren’…

[image] antoniokov: The part about dates goes together with the Partial date entry topic. So, I looked at that issue. I can see how they are somewhat related, the main issue I’m raising here is about generalizing the Board visualization. Instead of a Kanban-like board for moving things aroun…

Here’s a template I just made that achieves what you’re describing (I think). [image] Fibery | Start for free, upgrade when you love it Create a Fibery account to replace isolated tools and bring everyone together. The concept is pretty transferable, so it do…

I then went back to the Board view and the dropdown allows me to group by Dates, but not the lookup text field values like “Q1-21”. Indeed, the issue here is with the text part, not the lookup part — try creating a Board for Dates grouped by Quarter-Year, it won’t be possible either. Supporting …

Just want to add here that I have made use of the TIMELINE function in reports, which, combined with the MONTH function allows some really useful views of the data to be created. I totally understand that supporting text as row/column grouping can be hard, but I would have thought that numbers and …

[image] Chr1sG: Here’s a template I just made that achieves what you’re describing (I think) I think your approach is better than mine for now. I had tried to model the dates themselves as a type, but that would be a lot more work and would break other stuff (date selection). Instead, the aut…

This may be a small point, but to the best of my knowledge dates are not a “first class thing” in Roam. Dates are just pages, with no unique functionality. It is the baseline functionality of Roam, which treats everything like a page/block, and has universal backlinks, that makes anything useful pos…

[image] rothnic: Roadmunk would update the date being used for presentation to the last date of the period you dragged the task to That’s interesting, because I think in a lot of cases, if an item was dragged, from one quarter to another quarter say, then I don’t know if that’s the behaviour …
