  • 1 Month

  • 3 Months

  • 6 Months

  • 9 Months

  • 1 Year

Event Tooltips

The behavior of schedule event tooltips has changed. Previously, hovering over an event would instantly show the event tooltip. In NIM 5.3, the tooltip will be displayed when a user clicks on an event. This greatly improved performance when a large number of events were on the schedule. To edit the event, double click as normal.

UI

Grid Styles

The UI received a minor refresh with a focus on clarity across various UI elements. The most notable changes are the updated style of status and on/off items in all grids and gantt charts as well as improved separation for grid grouping.

Grid Column Handles

Column resize handles have had a highlight added to make selecting the resize handle easier in all grids. Hovering the cursor between columns will highlight the drag handle. Click, hold and drag to resize the column.
