Flags for grid visibility - how to approach this?
When entering an outline or plan, you tend to promote/demote items in the tree as you're organising it. The result (see right column of screenshot) is some being 'in the grid' and others being children because of which level you 'initially inserted' them at (root or as a child of another item). Eg 'effort estimate' was inserted at root level then moved to become a subitem so it has the flag but shouldn't.
This will probably make grid based search/filter results unpredictable. What is the best option to make this intuitive for users? My thoughts:
- This flag could change immediately whenever you promote/demote it (probably best).
- Could have an option that runs through the current visible items, setting the flag to true for 'root' items and clearing it for 'child' items. (less reliable)
Thoughts?
