With lcmd you can plan and control your procjects quikly and easily.
The most important objects for this are milestones and processes. With this special feature in our tool - the daily activities - you can detail your processes on a daily level and directly map the necessary steps.
Create process
- In the sidebar you will find a list of all the trades you need to have defined in advance.
- Drag the desired trade or milestone into the process plan to create a process or milestone.
- Double-click to rename your processes and milestones.
Edit process duration or start date
- You can edit the duration of a process by moving the mouse over the left or right edge of the process and then changing the process length by holding down the left mouse button.
- Move the processes and milestones in the desired order by directly touching the processes (hold down the left mouse button).
- Please note that it is not possible to move them to other areas. To do this, cut the processes (ctrl+x) and paste them in the desired position (ctrl+v).
- You can copy processes in the same way (ctrl+c) and then paste them anywhere in your process plan.
Multiple selection of processes
- Use the multiple selection to edit entire process chains (square symbol in the right-hand side menu).
- Alternatively, you can select individual processes with the CTRL key to select several processes and milestones.
- A black frame around a process indicates whether it is currently selected.
- The number on the icon indicates how many processes are currently selected.
Edit processes
- In addition to editing the process directly with the mouse (dragging, moving, copying, etc.), you will find even more options for making adjustments to processes in the details in the sidebar.
- You can change the name, the trade, the duration and the start date, the assigned resources and links.
Link processes
- To link processes or milestones with each other, open the dependency mode via the view settings.
- If links have already been created, you can now recognize them in the form of black lines.
- If you now move the mouse over the front or rear end of the process, plus signs will appear. Click on the plus signs of two processes to create a dependency.
- Alternatively, you can select several processes by holding down the control key and create a dependency using the link icon.
- This automatically creates an end-start dependency with a 0-day offset.
- You can differentiate between three different link types:
- End-to-start
- Start-to-start
- End-to-end
- You can delete the link again by selecting the arrow and pressing the delete key on your keyboard or by deleting the predecessor/successor in the process details.
Tracking process changes
- You can track the changes to a process in the history at any time.
- You can add your notes in the comment field.
Processes at daily level - Tasks
With the help of daily tasks, you can detail your processes on a daily basis and thus directly map the necessary work steps.
- In lcmd, processes are automatically assigned their own daily task for each day they last.
- You can view and edit the daily tasks in the sidebar under “Tasks”.
- These tasks allow you to detail processes and are used for daily control using the planning board - with a focus on weeks - or in the mobile app - with a focus on days - and are automatically synchronized with the process plan.
- If several tasks are due on one day, these can be created individually in the planning board.
