Layout

A new option is implemented to switch between Pack and Stack layout. This allows you to view the details in the time bar more readable without any overlapping issues. This happens both in order and resource section.

Stack: When a single resource has less time bars, you can switch to stack layout.

Pack: When a single resource has multiple time bars, you can switch to Pack layout, the height of the entire resource section rows expands, and you can easily view the details accurately.

Open an Order. In the below figure, the time bars are overlapping.
