Summary

0004478: Hierarchichal projects

Description

Project/Task planning/scheduling tools [1] do not use the concept of phases and tasks (as child of phases) but only use the concept of tasks/todos (that can be child one of the others). This allow to make more than 2 levels of "childhood" while, with phases and tasks, one can not.

Besides, these tools permit to define milestones, that are significant tasks for a project [2].

Steps To Reproduce

Go to Project & Service Management || Transactions || Multiphase Project

Proposed Solution

The proposed solution is to create a new project type named 'Hierarchical projects' with the following characteristics:
* A header similar to existing Multiphase and Service projects.
* A tab to create, edit and delete its tasks.
* A button to set a hierarchy (tree) between tasks in an easy manner (such as in Financial Management || Accounting || Setup || Account Tree || Element >> Element Value)
* The ability to set a hierarchical project type ('Set Project Type' button)
* The ability to define a task as a Milestone

In addition to this:
* The ability to set a new project type with project category 'Hierarchical project' (with standard tasks, that can be milestones) and use it as a mould for new hierarchical projects.
* The ability to report by this new type of project.
* The ability to assign one or more products to a task [1].
* The ability to assign one or more employees to the project or tasks [2].
