Multi-Sort Functionality, Projects List

Multi-Sort Functionality, Projects List

It is proving so hard for us to manage any kind of decent view into our Active list of projects (which now hovers between 150 and 225 at a time).  In addition to my other suggestion here (which hasn't had any activity in a year), I'd like to suggest that ZOHO add multi-column sorting to the main Projects view.

So, I can sort by (for example) Status and then End Date, or vise versa.  Most multi-sort implementations let you add quite a few levels, but even just two (versus the current single column at a time) would be a huge improvement.

This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

                                                                Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.

You can set the criteria while creating the blueprint such that when you publish a blueprint, the tasks that satisfy the criteria will be associated with the
