Web Module Usability Considerations
Background

Merlin 2 has the ability, using the Web Module addon, to publish Merlin project files onto the web hence allowing users, on other platforms, to collaborate on Merlin files using a simple web browser.

Every effort was taken to make Merlin Web Module look and behave similarly to the native Merlin application. However, certain usability issues need to be considered when accessing project file using a web browser.

  • The Inspector is not yet implemented in this release of the Web Module
  • Elements are not yet implemented in this release of the Web Module
  • Net Plan is not yet implemented in this release of the Web Module
  • Drag & Drop is not supported in the Gantt chart
  • Various print options offered by Merlin on Mac OS X, are not applicable to web browsers
  • Short cuts in the Web Module vary from those in the native Merlin UI and depend on the browser used
  • Some UI features cannot be mapped; for example custom background colors or special fonts in the outline, vertical time ruler grids in the Gantt chart, search, limit visible date range
