The Chronicles of Stuffed Guys

Ladies and gentlemen, I am excited to present to you the world’s premier of the Factory Nova English interface! You can’t see it anywhere else — only and exclusively in this blog.

Don’t forget to click on the thumbnails to see full size images!

Screen #1

This is the main tasks page in Factory Nova. To get to it, you first select a project, so the tasks that you see on this page are limited by only one project.

The main task view is tree-based, but you can also see the same tasks as a flat list (one of the many cool features of Factory Nova). Children tasks are loaded with Ajax when you click on a plus sign available to the left of any task which has children.

Screen #2

The same tree view of tasks, but this time I’ve opened a filter layer. In Factory Nova, you can filter the tasks tree by a variety of parameters: a user to whom the task is assigned, priority, deadline, etc. The filters can be saved and easily re-used later.

Screen #3

Again the main tree view. This time I’ve selected some of the tasks (they have a yellow background). You can see that at the top, instead of a filter, there is now a new select box that allows me to select a new status for the selected tasks. You can select multiple tasks in the tree and then do some most common operations with all of them at once: change status. assign to a user, close, change deadline, etc.

Also, on the same screen you can see a floating div opened with all possible actions that you can do with a particular task. This div is opened when you click on the “o” icon (for “options”) to the right of the task.

Screen #4

Finally, this is a so called “Overview” page. You get to it when you click on the project in the list of all projects. As you can guess, the main idea of this page is to show a brief overview of all activity in the project. It also shows quick stats for all members of the project team.
