New This Week In Hive: October 24, 2022

1. Archive child projects under parent projects

With this update, child projects will now archive nested underneath parent projects when they are archived together. Previously, when child projects were archived, they would be listed independently from parents, which made it difficult to track nested projects when they were archived or unarchived.

Now, all nested projects will be neatly sorted once archived! Please note that if parent and child projects are archived individually (at different times), they will be un-nested.

2. Project duration in Gantt view

With this update, we have added a project duration column to Gantt view. This will allow team members to understand the total project duration, without having to calculate this figure manually - which can be extremely complicated when accounting for only specific weekdays.

Note: This duration value is calculated based on the start date of the first action in the project, the due date of the last action in the project, and the number of working days between those days.

3. Filter by placeholder in search bar

With this update to our search bar, we have added the ability to filter by **placeholder** or **team**. Placeholders and teams are helpful for assigning tasks or booking resources when there isn't one specific individual responsible for the task.

Searching for those placeholder and team tasks is now easier with the addition of this filter!

To access this new filter, visit your search bar, and access the 'Filter by assignee' section. There, you'll now see "Placeholders" and "Teams" as a selection.
