4 months ago Some potential first steps:
- [ ] Treat activity layers as 1 big layer that packs together. Use different layers for color coding + filters.
- [ ] Parse resources and activities and group in tree based on
/ - [ ] Break out into 3 sections with a standard stacking order: top-bottom, lines, activities, x-range
Overview The interplay between activity layers, line layers, and resource layers is challenging to interact with. Line layers are the only ones that need a y-axis defined, yet the y-axis section is not related to line layers. When creating multiple layers of multiple types, there’s a common way people want these to be drawn: line layers on top, then activity layers, then x-range layers on the bottom. We should make that stacking default, incorporate the y-axis settings within a line layer
In addition to browsing via drag and drop, there’s a request to have more complex filters to drive what activities show up in an activity layer. This would enable users to create more focused rows that reduced clutter and kept things focused on the task at hand. For example, a row could be built by a few related subsystems where a certain parameter was met, or where a specific tag was included. This approach would allow further refinement after dragging a group of starting activities on to the filters.
Describe the feature request
Create three sections with a fixed stacking order: Line, Activity, and x-range. These can have multiple color coded layers with unique filters. Y-range becomes a setting under the line layer.
