1.each column of the Task Field can be moved forward and backward; 2.progress value can be displayed in the Timeline task time bar
- I hope that each column of the Task Field can be moved forward and backward, to change the order, so that I can choose to have either the %complete column or the √ icon appear closer to the front, even if I shrink the left pane. Or when a project is completed, it can be marked with a distinct √ next to the task name of the task field on the left, as shown in the Milestone ◇ icon.
- I strongly hope that the progress value can be displayed in the Timeline task time bar, so that I can visually see the progress of all projects, instead of the progress value appearing at the top when tapping a certain task.In addition, I hope the progress value can be adjusted directly on the task time bar, and other software will appear a small triangle △ when clicking, so as to adjust the progress value.
Finally, I admire your work very much. It is perfect, except for the two suggestions I mentioned above. By the way, I am looking forward to Chinese version (but it is not the biggest question)
Thank you for your ideas. Would you please help to check following my comments?
- Reorder columns
A:
QuickPlan for macOS supports to change the column order (https://quickplan.app/documents/mac/user-manual/task-maintenance/task-fields).
As QuickPlan for iPad displays column headers in groups (better than just columns), recording the columns will messy the titles. We think if need to change the header display to the way the macOS version display.
And we suggest the inputting approach to focus on an aspect one time. For example, to maintain all the task dates in one step, then in the step, we just need to make the related task columns visible (no need to change the order)
- % Comp. on taskbars
A:
You may already see that the taskbar displays background color in two deeps to describe the task’s % complete.
QuickPlan for macOS provides an option to customize the text on the taskbar includes % comp. This feature is not available for the iPad version.
- Change “% Comp.” on the taskbar directly
A:
1. There are two types of progress concepts
2. It’s not easy to move a cursor on the taskbar if the taskbar is short
3. It’s not accurate normally enough when needed.

Thank you for your reply. I am glad to know that Mac has these features, but unfortunately I do not have a Mac at present. I will try out the Mac version of Quick Plan after I buy a Mac later.
I have understood your reply, but I still want to add my requirements again.
I noticed that the task name will add ◇ to indicate the milestone, and the tree graph icon will be added to indicate that this is a sub-project. I think it will be helpful to add a √ in the same position when the task is completed.
As for the display of progress values, I still think it is necessary and fully adequate for display on the iPad. It can be positioned in the same position as the Icon, just like the Icon is shrinking to disappear and expanding to zoom in. I understand your concern about display confusion, but at least the user should be given the right to choose whether it is displayed or not. The values are more intuitive and accurate than deeper background color. I hope you can take this into consideration. It’s very important to me.
Thank you again
