Merlin – Download, install, start for the first time

Vicky Stamatopoulou on 14. December 2011

Installing Merlin for project management on Mac OS X is easy. You simply download the Merlin disk image, double click it for it to get mounted, and copy the contained Merlin application (blue wizards’ hut) into your applications folder.

To start Merlin on your Mac, just double click the Merlin application as listed in the applications window and confirm by clicking on “open” when the Finder asks whether you are sure you want to open it or not.

Remember to unmount the “Merlin” disk image afterwards to avoid starting Merlin by mistake out of the image instead of using your local copy.

You may also want to watch the installation procedure as a video: (more…)

Merlin: Adjusting time rulers in the Gantt chart

Vicky Stamatopoulou on 29. April 2011

Merlin displays two ruler grid levels for the time line on the Gantt chart per default for new empty projects. One in days and another in calendar weeks. Depending on the planned work values of your activities, you may want to zoom in or out the time scale. To do so, simply click the according buttons on the bottom of the window.

Should you however need more ruler grid levels,  you may define up to four. To add another grid, just click on the arrow pointing down on the right end of a grid level and select ‘Add top row’.

Merlin Web – access and edit a project shared by Merlin Server

Vicky Stamatopoulou on 29. March 2011

This is rather basic but since we get asked from time to time in support, please bear with us if you already are familiar with it, otherwise sit back and enjoy.

How do I edit my Merlin projects in the web browser? I share them over my Merlin Server.

Editing your Merlin projects on the web is easy.

  • Once you know their address (in this case the Merlin Server’s address) just use the address on a supported web browser*.
  • Merlin web shows no inspector, you edit the values in the shown columns directly.
  • Expected columns contain automatically calculated values, are thus not editable.
  • To edit your schedule use the column set ‘Time Planing’ and edit the ‘given planned… dates’. You can use the mini calendar or type the appropriate dates.
  • To update your schedule use the column set  ’Project Reporting (Percent)’; or ‘Project Reporting (absolute)’ depending on the reporting mode you want to use.
  • To link or indent activities  use the according buttons.
  • Don’t forget to save your changes.
