Mastering the Elastic Timeline
Most calendar tools treat your schedule like a rigid spreadsheet: every task must be manually slotted into a specific block of time. If a meeting runs long or an urgent matter emerges, your entire day breaks down.
Entide introduces the Elastic Timeline Rail, designed around the realities of dynamic workdays.
1. Drag-to-Schedule from Backlog
Whenever you want to plan your day, open the Timeline view (shortcut 2). You will find your ranked backlog and active columns ready.
Simply drag any task card directly onto an open slot between 07:00 and 21:00:
•The task automatically snaps to 15-minute increments.
•The scheduled start and end times update instantaneously.
•Visual duration indicators scale proportionately to your estimated minutes.
2. Automatic Gap Filling (Elastic Scheduling)
For unscheduled tasks that you need done today, Entide's elastic gap filler identifies contiguous free intervals in your work window (09:00 to 17:00) and arranges them logically around your fixed calendar meetings.
Key Benefits:
1.Zero Calendar Bloat: Fixed meetings remain untouched while flexible work breathes.
2.Completion Snapping: Finishing a task locks it to your actual completion time with a 15-minute visual floor.
3.No Overlap Chaos: Visual multi-column layout distributes overlapping events into distinct parallel lanes.
