Customizable import and export.
Evolution of time management and planning tools is really exciting. There are tools for tracking active applications time, planning resources and budgets, daily work accelerators like DevPlanner. In real life there is no single solution for all possible situations and needs. No matter what application people use, only user data matter.
Recurring tasks.
Usually we have a lot of recurring daily tasks, for example reading email, daily
meetings or dinner. Now insertion of all recurring tasks for a day is a one-click
procedure. To mark or unmark specific schedule as recurring, just check or uncheck
"Recurring" option in the scheduling task dialog. DevPlanner will
automatically watch for a time changes of recurring task and will use the latest
start and finish for a next day. This simple rule improves accuracy of daily
planning.
Fixed plan entry.
Usually DevPlanner moves one intersecting schedule after another to build sequential
daily plan. Now with "Fixed" option set in plan entry it is possible
to keep specified time unchanged while inserting task to occupied by another
task time.

two or more tasks at once.

on deadlines calendar as a red triangle and will help being in time for a long-term
activities.
