You can see horizontal swim lanes based \u00a0on activity association, label or assignee. You find the toggle for the view up on the top of the board next to the other view buttons and the settings.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/13-10-23-11-50-25-AM.png\" rel=\"lightbox[1593]\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1612\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/13-10-23-11-50-25-AM-300x100.png\" alt=\"13-10-23 11-50-25 AM\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Activity history<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just like for an individual card, you will now see a list of things that have happened to an individual activity in its details.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Activity comments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Social project management or the belief that improved communication is a key to success has been at the core of our development since 1998. Therefore, we try to make it easy to talk about anything in ProjectPlace   and we have added a conversation\/comments module to activities. Chat about what this deliverable should contain, the schedule, what is your current major obstacle to completion or just cheer each other on. Naturally you can @-ref your colleagues and groups to engage them in the conversation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Custom tab name for project overview<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Administrators can now change the name of the project overview. The setting is found in administration under the tab \u201ctools and access\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Impovements in the iOS app<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Links to documents in email notifications will open in the app.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Improvements in the new document management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The possibility to notify a colleague or group by using @-ref is something that we really like, and by the number of notification mails that are sent our from our servers we gather you like it too. You can now use it in comments on documents as well (in the new\u00a0<a title=\"Learn more about the document management features in Projectplace\" href=https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/products\/projectplace\/file-sharing-document-management\/ target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">document management<\/a>). We have also spruced up the interface to send out documents by mail and made it easier to use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More accounts added for new search<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The new search function that allows you to search for documents, cards, activities etc. across all your projects is being slowly rolled out \u00a0to selected users so if you don\u2019t see it yet (in the top navigation bar), don\u2019t worry, it will be your turn soon. Until then you find the search-for-documents function on the\u00a0<a title=\"Learn more about the project overview in Projectplace\" href=https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/products\/projectplace\/ target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-ol-has-click-handler=\"\">Project Overview<\/a>\u00a0for each individual project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s up next?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some of our big development projects like the new document management and cross-project search that have been in the pipe for a very long time are actually nearing completion and we have started on a desktop app that will give our users the information they need about their project without having to leave the comfort of their own desktop.<\/p>\n<p>In the next release we plan to implement a work in progress limit, which will give an alarm if you exceed a given number of card in a column on the board. The idea is to create a greater momentum for the teams by limiting the number of things they work on simultaneously. To understand the theory behind this we only have to look at a traffic system. As the number of vehicles increase, the speed of all vehicles decreases. In the same way, if we have too many jobs in progress all of them will be slowed. If we instead limit the number of cards that we work on at the same time we will increase the speed of all the work. Some hard core believers would say that you must have a limit of two (2) items in your \u201cworking on\u201d column.
