Add meal breaks, travel, company moves and notes to a day

Steps

1. On a day page, click Add break and choose Meal Break, Travel, Company Move or Custom Note. On the Board you can use the day's ... menu, under ADD TO THIS DAY.

   The menu has the four kinds of break. The choice you make is preselected in the next dialog.

2. Read the Add to this day dialog.

   Type is Meal Break, Travel, Company Move or Custom Note. Label is optional and defaults to the type. Time is optional, for example 20:30. Duration counts toward the day estimate and takes values such as 45m or 1h 30m. Notes is free text.

4. If Duration is not a length, for example abc, read the message under the notes.

   It says: Enter a duration such as 45m or 1h 30m. Nothing is added until it is valid.

5. Choose Custom Note as the Type and leave the note empty.

   For a Custom Note the Label box becomes Note *, which is required. The message reads: Write the note for this marker.

6. Look at the Board.

   The break appears as a grey strip in the day, for example LUNCH at 13:00 (45m). The message reads Added a break with Undo. Drag the strip to a new place to reorder it, or onto another day to move it there.

7. Click a break strip to edit it.

   The dialog is titled Edit break and has the same fields with their values. Save keeps the change, Cancel closes it, and Delete at the bottom left removes the break. The message reads Edited a break or Removed a break.
