Marker Enhancements on the Planning Board

From GreenHopper 5.1, markers will now be available on the 'Component' and 'Assignee' modes of the Planning Board, instead of only the 'Version' mode.

Sometimes, for example when allocating work, you may want to temporarily change the value of a Marker for just the current version, component or assignee — without changing the Marker permanently for all versions, components or assignees. You can now do this easily by dragging a Marker bar up or down to set a temporary value for that Marker.

And yes, you can also move a marker to another location on another page of the Planning Board.

See the documentation for further details.

Improved Epic Creation

To make it quicker and easier for you to create Epics, the issue key of a newly-created Epic is now put into the 'Epic' field automatically. For more details, please see the documentation on Working with Epics in GreenHopper Classic.
