SHIFTING A GROUP OF TASKS ALONG A TIMELINE

摘要

An aspect of the present disclosure facilitates the shifting of a group of tasks along a timeline. In one embodiment, multiple tasks are sent for display along a timeline, with each task having a start time and an end time respectively equaling an original start value and an original end value along the timeline. In response to receiving data indicating a group of tasks and an offset, a new start value and a new end value for each of the tasks in the group is computed based on the offset. The start time and end time of each of the tasks in the group is set respectively to the computed new start value and new end value. The display of the timeline is updated (by resending the tasks) with the start time and end time of each task of the group set to the newly computed values. Thus, the received group of tasks is shifted along the timeline by the received offset.

1. A method of facilitating scheduling of tasks, said method comprising:
sending a plurality of tasks for display along a timeline, each of said plurality of tasks having a start time and an end time, said start time and said end time respectively equaling a original start value and a original end value along said timeline; receiving data indicating a group of tasks and an offset, said groups of tasks being contained in said plurality of tasks; computing, for each task of said group of tasks, a new start value and a new end value for the task based on said offset; setting for each task of said group of tasks, said start time and said end time of the task respectively to said new start value and said new end value; and updating the display of said plurality of tasks along said timeline, wherein said start time and said end time of each task of said group of tasks is according to said setting.
