New Timer Look and Position
We've relocated the active timer from the top toolbar to a sleeker spot in the bottom right corner, providing a cleaner and more user-friendly interface.
New Task States
Ora grants you the freedom to create lists for any conceivable state. Initially, there were four state types to choose from: Frozen, Open, Review, and Completed. Today, we are officially renaming Frozen to Backlog/Draft, and we are introducing four new states: In Progress, Rejected, Paused (On Hold), and Canceled.
But why bother with new states when you can name your list anything you want? Two words: Icons and Tracking. Icons and set colors provide visual cues, enabling a quick grasp of a project's or milestone's state. Moreover, by defining more states, we enhance task tracking, offering insights into whether a task is Unstated, Started, or Finished. New reports and insights coming soon..
To use the new states in projects with a pipeline workflow, simply edit the list and select the desired state.
Negative Filter (Not Filter)
Ora's one-click filters stand out among all other software options. Not only can you filter with just one click, but you also get a preview of the number of results for each card before applying the filter. Today, these filters become even more robust with the introduction of "Not" filters. This feature empowers you to selectively hide specific elements from your board. For instance, if you're uninterested in "bugs" and cards assigned to someone, a simple click on the "Not" button will exclude those cards from visibility on the board. Additionally, you can choose to hide cards without due dates or labels. This functionality extends to saved filter views in the agenda, providing a seamless and powerful organizational experience.
