project dates
We are behind schedule all the time. At the begining of a project we get the date when the project should be ready, but during the process sometimes (mostly not dependent on us) the project real end date stretches over several months. So our company would love if there would be one more field for project dates - besides start&end date - the REAL END DATE Thanks a lot !

Simple Notes Section Within a Project?
Hello- New to projects and am still getting to know the software. I have searched everywhere to find a place to write simple notes within a project. I would assume this would be within the dashboard. Is there a way to add a simple not field or two? As a work around, I'm creating a document within the documents section and I'm placing notes in there, but this is a very awkward workflow and it ends up opening a new window. Any advice? Thanks!

time sheet notes in invoices
when adding time sheets to an invoice, it would be much more useful if we were able to show the "time sheet notes" in to the "Item description". just showing the project name isnt useful for us.

Documents synchronization
Hi, Does anyone knows of a way to synchronize the files that are stored in a ZOHO Project to a device such as a computer. Anything like sftp, CVS, or the ZOHO Docs desktop app, or anything else that is convenient or working with tens of files organized in sub-folders? Thanks. Best regards.
task layouts on a task list basis (instead of per project)
task layouts are amazing. the ability to add custom fields, and have them available on iOS, and also have the ability to bulk change the custom fields is great. our issue is that we need to have different task layouts for different types of task lists. it would be great if we could adjust the task layout on the fly on a per task list basis. this would tremendously help our work flows. current if we do it project wide, then having a default value hurts us instead of helps us. we would only want a
Attach google doc
How do i sync/attach a google doc to zoho projects? Every time i do it, it wants to "upload" the doc and put it into zoho drive. That is absolutely not what I want. Let's face it: Zoho docs is terrible. Google is way ahead, and I want to use GOOGLE DOCS, not zoho!! ALl i want is a reference to my GOOGLE drive. Yet zoho insists on inserting itself into the equation. This makes it a very frustrating experience. All our stuff is in google drive. I want it to remain there. Why is zoho fighting us on

Ask the Experts: 5-hour knowledge exchange marathon on 'Task Dependencies' in Zoho Projects.
Hey folks! The Ask the Experts initiative for this month focuses on issues that frequent the support desk and hence demand expert advice. This session is around 'Task Dependencies" as it has invited many a query on the forums on topics such as: 1. How to set dependencies for unscheduled tasks? 2. Can I set task dependency in task templates? 3. What are the dependency types supported by Zoho Projects? Task dependencies help in linking tasks that depend on a sequence.

bulk edit on task layout custom fields doesnt work
bulk editing a set of tasks works fine when you are bulk editing the status of the tasks, but it does NOT work when you are bulk editing one of the custom fields.

How to create 'Cost Plan' and to view the 'Actual Costs versus Planned Costs'?
Dear All, One of our prospects need to define 'Hourly Rates' for each of their resources ( Users ) ( That is OK in Zoho Projects ) Question 1 They need to create a 'Project Plan' creating tasks setting duration and allocating resources to these tasks. After this they need to see the 'Planned Cost' of the project. That is a simple mathematics. Please check table below. Our prospect needs to see a calculation for the 'Planned Cost' total of the project. They will use this 'Cost Simulation' to plan,
Enhanced dependencies
Hello, For most simple projects the dependencies in Projects works well. A task takes longer/shorter then planned and impacts all subsequent tasks Answering what-if scenarios, like adding additional resources or if there is a project delay Projects can accommodate the above. However, most of our project schedules can get complex and that is where Projects dependencies falls short in a couple of areas. Ability to add a lag time to the dependency so that it is tied to the completion date of the

Zoho Projects "What's new" page RSS Feeed

What notifications and emails do clients receive automatically?
I'm doing work for a client's client. Primary client doesn't want secondary client to have any info until completion. This morning primary client emails saying "don't send other guy any docs." Secondary client emails asking about 7 files that were sent to him. I DID NOT send anything to secondary client. So my question is this: what in the ever loving universe did Projects send to the secondary client!? This is a rather large issue because these are brand new clients and I'm not impressing them
Global notification
Hello, I have some trouble with my colleague with notification and I can not find an answer in the settings or in your forum. We have some common projects et we need both to receive all activities. Nevertheless, when I post a message in the forum, she receive a mail. But when the client or I send a comment in this same forum, she does not receive it. Only the creator of the forum receive it. How can we receive all activities of the project ? Thank you in advance, Edouard Voituriez

Remove a dependency?
Hello! In the pop-up that shows task predecessors and successors the help says there is a link that can be clicked on to remove a dependency. How do you get that link? I don't see it at all for either a successor or a predecessory. Thanks!
Resource utilization: changing work hours per day changes the workload defined in the task
Hi, I planned my tasks adding fixed hours for each resource, let's say: John works 5 hours and Julia works 3 hours to complete a task. If I see that they are overallocated I thought to change the hours per day but WITHOUT changind the estimaged working hours. How can I fix ghe estimated hours? Estimated hours should change just in the task editing

Dependency issue
I've suffered a lot with the depency setting with Zoho Projects. Here is the story: Our company needs to repeat several projects every month, so after creating a project and setting the dependency I've convert it into a template. But there's one thing doesn't fit the Zoho Projects dependency logic in our project which is: instead of one task begins right after the the task that depended on finished, some tasks should begin several days after the previous task is finished. So, after converting the
Dependency Issues
I've been spending a lot of time trying to get the Dependency feature to function correctly. Theoretically, any date depending on another should retain the time/date gap between the two, correct? I have around 100 different tasks in my project, and A)it's been extremely tedious to link dependencies between the lot, and B)once I had it set up, it didn't work. Instead of retaining the gaps between the linked dependencies, it bunched them all together, end to end. You'll have to pardon my ignorance
Task completion notification
Right now, there's an option to send an email notification when a new task is assigned, but I can't find an option to send a task-completion notification to the person who created the task or the milestone owner. Am I just missing something? Without that feature, it's very difficult to manage projects completely within the zoho environment. The notification should say the task was completed and include any notes that have been added, so that we can keep all our project-related correspondence within
Setting Dependency, Best Practices
Is there a way to configure a Task so that the Start Date is automatically calculated based on the Duration and the Dependency? Right now I am manually calculating the start date based on the predecessors end date. There has to be an easier way. Please advise.

Tip #17: Task Dependencies in Project Templates
Tasks are the basic blocks of any projects. Their interdependencies drive the project and are a major factor in determining if the project stays on track. Setting dependency between tasks for every new project could be tedious. When you create templates for projects, you can also create dependencies between tasks and reuse them. Setting up dependencies for project templates is easy. In the Projects page, go to Templates and select your project template. Click on Tasks and select Dependency view.
Resource utilization: if period is month, the month name is missed!

Permission to users to edit or delete tasks and documents exist?
Permission to users to edit or delete tasks and documents exist? I saw a post on the forum about 2 months ago, where you say that the implementation of permissions has not been done in Zoho. The concern always falls on customers or external collaborators, because although there is a notification of change of tasks, it is necessary to restrict updates only for project managers. There is provision for release permissions, that is to say, it is something that you learn to develop in the future? I can
Adding new task to all existing tasks lists currently open
Looking to be able to add a new task to a task list template and have the option to automatically add it to all current tasks lists. Reason: We are a franchisor. My job is to help new franchises get open. We have a team of 5 departments that each have their set of tasks (marketing, legal, operations, administration, technology). Each department will have one to two task lists. The process is the same for each new opening. At any given time, we can have 10-15 new franchises in the opening process
One Click To Stop Timers (New Update Adds Unecessary Steps)
Hi there, I see that we got a new update to pause timers. However, the number of clicks to close a timer has increased. Before, you close a timer with one click. Now, you have to click and confirm that you are closing the timer. Is it possible to click once to stop timer? Otherwise, we are just adding unnecessary steps for tasks that are already set as billable or non-billable at the default project level. Thanks, Chad A
