Display the task view in the bottom pane of the project view

In the SDL WorldServer 11 UI,it would be much easier and much more intuitive if one could see the tasks of a project (or project group) directly in the bottom pane of the project view / project list. Instead of the tab "statistics", one could display the task view which is displayed when you click the project name or the project group name. This would make the navigation from one project to another much quicker and it would much more intuitive for users. if you have many tasks in the projects, the already-available maximize button would display the pane in the full page.

  • Hi Laurent, we did look at this approach when designing the new UI but we preferred to keep that lower pane 'light'. The display of Task level data on the standard Project Group should be a  new level of expansion, so that for example, you could filter for tasks in different projects but which are at the same workflow step ("Show me everything at Translate"). This would be my preferred option. Is your requirement simply for a more convenient display or you would want to operate on the tasks too? Your screen mock-up includes a ribbon bar with actions.
