What happens if I delete a portal user?
Hello, I have a few employees (users) who are no longer with my organization. However, they are creators/owners of several projects (and even templates), as well as being assignees of tasks of course. If I delete the portal users, what happens to their projects? Templates? Tasks? I assume they they would all just become "unassigned" but I want to make absolutely sure as we cannot lose any of this information if I delete the users from the portal. Thanks, Jared

Import Tasks – Fix Field Mapping
I've been trying to import tasks from a CSV and it's frustrating that I have to manually map the CSV column headers to the available fields, even though I've named them the same. Likewise, the Task Owner is not recognised even if I use the correct email address as the Task Owner value. Is there a way round this, to avoid manual mapping every time, and if not could you make it a feature request, please?

FEATURE REQUEST- Batch Reminder&Recurrence
Hello, I'm a new PREMIUM user, because I wanted to make use of the reminder. I noticed that I must set the reminder for each indivual step of my tasklist template. SUGGESTION: use the "select all" feature that opens whenever a checkbox is selected and add a batch Reminder & Recurrence option. (as per example image attached). I understand that the R & R function can only work when a due date is configured. So, in the case of a "select all" and attempted batch R & R, you could have a message that

Automatic Project Percentage Update based on Status
Hi, is there or will there be a feature where based on the milestones and the due dates that you have set, the Status of the task can determine its percentage? It would be efficient because if i have a task i wouldn't have to manually update the percentage of the task, it can be done simply by moving the task to the next status field. Which would mean that i can set a percentage number of reach status in between Open and Closed. Thank You.
Enhancement Request: Default task assignment needed.
This request is especially useful if you are a one-person shop and manage all projects, milestones and tasks yourself. I propose a setting that would default all task assignments and such to the user I select. In my case they would all be assigned to me. Thanks, Jeff
Copying Task custom view to another project
I have created a task custom view in a project, and would like to use that same custom view in other projects. Right now it appears that I have to re-create this same custom view in each project I want to use it for. Is there a way to make it available to other projects? I did see that if I use the "my tasks" widget on the home page I can access this custom view for all tasks for all projects. This is sometimes helpful. But I would like to also access this custom view just within each project

How do I see a full, clear summary of a project

For example, can I go to a place to see the following for a project: all completed tasks all tasks due All comments

Create different custom Layouts in Project Level
The addition of the customization Layouts and Field for Projects and Tasks is very nice. It would be nicer if within Projects there was the capability of creating different Layouts. We use Zoho in different departments in my company, and sharing the "Custom fields" created in the Project Standard Layoutl is very confusing since we do different activities and we create different custom fields. We purchased the Zoho Project Enterprise package because of my company size, and now it feels to me that

Tip of the Week: Task Dependency (Duration in Hours)
I hope the tip on task dependency helped in understanding how it works in Zoho Projects. In a real-time, the successor task may or may not start on the predecessor's completion date. On either case, a project management tool should allow the users to set dependency between tasks. Ain't it? In Zoho Projects, the Task Duration in Hours option allows the users to set dependency between tasks that ends and starts on the same day. The Portal Owner and Admin role users can activate this option from the
