In the realm of Project management, efficiency is key. Over time, Projects can accumulate large amounts of unused data, which can clutter the system and affect overall performance, including loading times and synchronization. This accumulation of data can also obscure the clarity of current tasks, as older tasks may block the view.
To address these challenges and optimize the setup and management of Projects, here are some best practice examples:
Split Projects
Consider splitting large Projects into smaller, more manageable sections. For example, if your Project consists of multiple components, buildings, or phases, create a separate docu tools Project for each component. This way, you only need to synchronize the relevant parts of the Project with your mobile devices and not the entire Project, which leads to faster synchronization and loading times.
Deactivate closed Pins
To avoid long synchronization times and not overload the storage with outdated data, it is advisable to deactivate Pins that have been closed for an extended period. Use the bulk editing feature to speed up this process. Filter Pins by their Status and the date of the last edit, and deactivate those that meet certain criteria (e.g., Pins that have been closed for more than six months). This proactive approach not only improves Project performance but also saves storage space on mobile devices.
Limit Images per Pin
Avoid long loading times and excessive storage capacities by limiting the number of images in a single Pin. Avoid including too many images (e.g., 100+) in a single Pin. Instead, create separate documentation Pins as needed and deactivate older Pins to ensure optimal performance. Efficient management of image content ensures smoother navigation and reduces the burden on storage resources.
Deactivate unused Plans
During long-term Projects, you should regularly review the necessity of existing Plans. Deactivating unused Plans can significantly increase synchronization speed and optimize storage space. Consider archiving Plans that have not been accessed or changed over an extended period. This proactive approach streamlines Project management processes and ensures that only relevant data is retained.
By implementing these tips, you can address the challenges associated with Projects where excessive data accumulates. Optimizing Project segmentation, deactivating outdated Pins, limiting image content, and effectively managing Plans are key practices that contribute to smoother Project execution and improved performance.
