Features
Gantt view
In gantt view, item timings can be edited as in project management software. Items can be added and edited in the view or imported from MS Project or Excel. Item hierarchies can be created and items can be sorted in multiple tabs. Calendar work week can be customized.
Task completion degrees can be tracked in the gantt view.
You can select a time or time range in the gantt view timeline, and the map view will display the state of project for the selected time.
Time precision for a project can be customized. You can operate on minute -precision times or use more rough time precision from hours or days up to centuries.
Map view
Map view in Zeitmaps project can be built from a variety of bulding blocks, which can be layered in highly customizable way. Building blocks of map view include:
Polygons & polylines
Text boxes (can contain images)
Markers
Tile maps (Google, OpenStreetMap, Bing, etc)
WMS/WMTS maps (satellite or drone images, etc)
Images/PDFs (can be easily georeferenced)
DXF files
Map elements are dynamic, so that changing playhead position on the timeline will affect the visibility and visual properties of the map elements. Get to know more detailed the features here.
Presentations
Presentations can be created for Zeitmaps projects, and links to the presentations can be sent to the stakeholders, who can study the project schedule on their browsers by observing the dynamic map and interacting with the timeline. Viewing read-only presentations does not require logging into the application, and the viewer does not have write access to the project. See an example presentation.
The time interval of the presentation, the area of the view, the visibility of objects and other settings can be adjusted so that the presentation can show either the Gantt and the map views, both, or a customized view that allows specific information to be hidden from the presentation view.
Multiple presentation URL links can be created from a single Zeitmaps project. Presentation is a snapshot of a project state, and can be updated to reflect current project state when needed.
In playback & cycle mode presentations are great tool for public display / kiosk purposes.
Import & Export
Item timings or other Gantt data can be imported and exported in MS Project XML, Excel or CSV file formats, which helps to import a large amount of data using the most commonly used methods with other available time reporting tools or planning programs.
Export data from another software into your computer and import it the sheet into Zeitmaps with the push of a button. The program tells you the number of data records and maps it to the timeline you’ve specified.
Map view contents can be exported as PNG/PDF/DXF file.
The primary way for sharing project with stakeholders is to use presentations or invite them for joined workspace with a access URL link.
Pricing
Billing is monthly and per project or per user.
The license price for an individual user is €50, and €500 for unlimited users per project.
