Q. Are there limits to how many projects and activities I can put into Birdview? I notice that the screen takes much longer to update with more info.
A. There are no limits on projects or tasks, but the amount you choose to display can affect the load time and performance.
If you find the Activity Center page loading slowly, then there are a couple of things you can do to have the screen load in a more timely fashion:

If you find the Activity Center page loading slowly, then there are a couple of things you can do to have the screen load in a more timely fashion:
- Disable showing completed projects and activities, and their counter by clicking the Show button in the toolbar and unchecking Completed projects/activities, Projects/Activities counter:
- Use filters. If you choose to only view 1 or 2 projects at a time, the time to render these will vastly improve the page loading time on each visit to this page.
Last applied filter settings are stored in the database. Note that in the Activity Center, you can save various filters and views for future use using Saved Views.
- Switch to Chrome browser, which renders faster than Firefox and Edge.
- Free up resources on the client (your computer), i.e. close all programs.
Web page loading speed depends directly on the internet connection speed if Birdview is installed on a remote server.
For example, a Birdview Web page's size can be several megabytes depending on the number of activities, so if your internet connection speed is e.g. 1 megabit per second - i.e. practically it's about 100 kilobytes per second - a 2 MB page will be loaded in 20 seconds.
Many businesses have their bandwidth shared equally among all users. The 1 megabit connection from the above example shared among 10 users will give you only about 10 KB per second for such type of connection.
