Estimates

[rheer]

• Link to Outlook API
• Fixed Status Field (Not in Report)
• Added Time Estimate for Task
• Added Total Time Estimate
• Added move to Archive Button on last column (so Tasks can be completed once done and be kept in the last column until archived)
• Added complete date on last column (can be used to decide when to archive)
• Added startdate on 4th column (waiting)

Todo: Test on website

When merged on my machine the columns quit pulling tasks - everything is blank.

I also updated the config.js. Did u adapt it?

I checked your Request Reto. I ran into the same problem as npeep. The reason is, that you changed the default naming strategy for the folders, which is an incompatible change. I.e. Next is now called "02_Next". I would suggest to stick with the default names in your PR, and then adjust locally if you need those prefixes.

The Idea with total time estimate is great! I would like to integrate this into my taskboard. I use the task status instead of the folder name because all tasks are in the same Folder. Unfortunately, the following code does not work:

return getOutlookFolder($scope.config.BACKLOG_FOLDER.Name).Items.Restrict("[Status] = 0 And Not ([Sensitivity] = 2)");

Unfortunately, I had no success so far :( Can someone rewrite the total time estimate function to filter on Task status instead of the folder name?

Check out JanVV's fork: https://github.com/janvv/outlook-taskboard

I use Janvv's fork. Janvv's fork does not use the total time estimate Feature. Rheer calculates the total time based on the tasks that are in the corresponding Folders:

$scope.totalTime = function(name) { var tasks = getOutlookFolderByName(name); var count = tasks.Items.Count; var i; var total=0; for (i = 1; i <= count; i++) { total = total + tasks.Items(i).TotalWork/60; } return total; }

To use this great Feature in Janvv's fork i have to calculate the total time based on the Status of the Tasks. For example, select all tasks with the status in Progress and calculate the in Progress total time estimate.
