UI: Task Indentation

[#1]

The alignment of tasks with subtasks has always been off in Workfront and it makes it hard to see the work breakdown structure.

Its hard to see the parent-child relationship. Here's a video with audio showing you the before-and-after: http://screencast.com/t/tecYEdvPYm

This is a UI-only change to the CSS. See below.

CHANGE

.indentable-table [collapselevel='0'].collapsible [valuefield=name] img.parent { left: 4px; }
.indentable-table .collapsible td[valuefield=name] img.parent { left: 5px; }
.indentable-table .collapsible td[valuefield=name] .inner-cell { margin-left: 18px; }

TO

.indentable-table [collapselevel='0'].collapsible [valuefield=name] img.parent { }
.indentable-table .collapsible td[valuefield=name] img.parent { left: -10px; }
.indentable-table .collapsible td[valuefield=name] .inner-cell { margin-left: 0px; }

Upvoted! Great suggestion!!!!!!

[#3]

Great idea!

[#4]

Great idea!

[#5]

Totally agree. It's hard to believe this hasn't been fixed already.

[#6]

YES please! I would also like to see a slight color shading on subtasks to help visually indicate groups. But the indentation is a major UI issue right now. Will happily help beta test this.

This would really help....it would also be super nice if:

1) The indentations were maintained when exporting to excel.

2) When you move tasks that become children of other tasks. The WBS on the moved tasks update immediately, if you have the WBS displayed on your view. However, the indentation doesn't actually occur until you refresh (F5) your browser. Why, I don't know; it creates some confusion with our PMs. Would like to see the indentation happen at the same time the WBS is getting updated.

Perfectly intuitive.
