# Enhancements

## Automatic scheduling

### Scheduling is triggered when absences are added/removed

Task position on a timeline dynamically responds to user absences.

**Note**: to activate the functionality, adjust the relevant [settings](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DLP/pages/298387307). 

## New Resources module (beta)

### The side panel has been redesigned 

The new side panel on the Resources module lets you display not only tasks without dates but also tasks that are not assigned to an individual, a team, or a skill. This change makes planning based on teams or skills easier. 

List of changes:

- the panel was renamed - from “Unscheduled tasks” to “Backlog”
- new columns have been added - Team, Skills
- splash-screens have been improved
- the appearance of the filters has been improved
