When I post a milestone such as “Draft Deadline” I need to be able to see what project that correlates with. Is there a way that you can add the project name in parenthesis automatically when I post a milestone? I don’t want to have to manually do that every time.

Managing multiple designers with multiple projects each, it would be easier to manage them if, when a milestone is posted (Draft Deadline, To Print, etc), the project name would be automatically showing in the Calendar alongside the individual milestones.

an ENOURMOUS PLUS ONE to this… I’m having to manually prefix milestone names with project names.

We do the same but some of our project names are long and I can imagine the issues that would create = one messed up calender!

What we do is we use abbreviations for all clients then projects by number, i.e., BS-101: Adding Milestones. Then you can tell them apart. The other thing I find valuable is adding a little hack <font color="red"> in the form field and then they are set off from one another. I use red only for the final deadline, not all milestones. It’s kind of ugly, but it works for now.

I’d also like to add my support for this suggestion… And also add in that perhaps it would only be needed on the Dashboard, as when you are looking at a specific project you will obviously know which project the milestones are for ;-)

But when you are dealing with many different design projects, for example, seeing four different Design Comps Round One milestones on the dashboard isn’t very helpful…

Thanks!

I’d prefer leaving it as it is. The manual prefixing of the milestone description works fine.

If it automatically adds a project name to the title of the milestone, you then have a restriction on the length of the name of the project. Your calendar would be a list of project names and not milestones. [signal vs noise]
