How to add task list (set of tasks) to an existing project
When we get an order, we create a project from a template. Sometimes in the course of working on the order for the customer they want a change, so we need to add a set of tasks around that change to our project task list. It is always the same set of tasks, so I'd like to be able to just import a task list to that project. Is there a way to do this? I have created a task list with the set of tasks needed for the change order, but I can't figure out how to add them all to an existing project

Tip - 45: Custom Views in Zoho Projects
Perspective differs from person to person. Customizing your project makes it unique and helps you implement your own perspective. Besides the predefined views, you can now create your own custom views for Projects, Tasks, and Issue as per your preference. Consider a scenario.

She saves this as a custom
How to move dates and how to export tasks keeping several task levels/hierarchy.
Hi, I would like to ask: 1. If a project is delayed, ie 12 days, is there any automatic function that moves forward every task, subtask and milestone 12 days? 2.

Remove Completed projects from main project list
How can I edit my main project list to not show Completed projects? Completed projects are no longer 'Active' so I don't understand why they still show. There is an option to view only Completed projects, so I don't understand why there isn't an option to view all 'open' projects or a way to do a custom view to only show certain projects statuses.

Common Communication location
HI all, for our office we usually have 3/4 different users interact with any given project/task. I really like the fact we can CC an email to have it go into the comments. But when you close the task, you end up 'losing' visibility to that communication. Other than creating a task {common comms} where we would use to 'dump' email communications in there, how do you manage this type of communication? Thanks

bulk edit tasks, pin task lists, default column sort
hi, 1. it takes too long to bulk edit tasks when you are trying to change multiple options on all. Would be much better if we can choose all the options we want to change, and then hit save. 2. please allow us to PIN certain task lists so they never close. Right now i have to create dummy tasks called .DO NOT DELETE so those task lists never close. 3. Please allow us to set the default columns to show on all projects via the project template. The order of the columns, and which columns show and

In free version, how can I reorder the tasks in the Chronology Gantt Chart view?
I'm using the free version of Zoho Projects, and I would love to re-arrange the order of tasks in the Gantt Chart. Currently, the default is by percent completion, but I'd prefer them ordered by TaskList, so that groups of tasks are more meaningfully clustered. I don't see an obvious way to do this. Is this possible in the free version, and if so, how? Thanks!
Recurring tasks and budget hours - "planned hours" within Budget Status do not include recurrences
eg. Task = 20hrs Recurrence = 10 x weekly My understanding is that "planned hours" for this should be 20hrs x 10 = 200hrs. Is this correct understanding? Currently when I plan projects this does not happen. The "recurring" symbol shows beside the task and the details are correct....however only 20 hours are applied to the "planned hours" - the recurrences are not counted. Is there something I might be doing wrong?

Auto Refresh - Project View
We have a team of 10 within a website development agency, that migrated from ASANA to ZOHO. One of the issues that we are experiencing is that the assigned tasks do not auto refresh for our developers specifically, so unless they refresh their display frequently they might miss a task that might be of high priority.

Sort order of Tasks
We would like our tasks to appear in order of when they need to be completed. I suppose this is roughly by due date, except that we are not using dates, our template is purely dependencies, since all tasks are fairly short. Our ideal target state is that any tasks now due (predecessor tasks all complete) show up at the top in kanban view, which is mainly where we work from. When we move it over to "closed," then any successor tasks now move up to the top. Alternatively, can we display only tasks

How do I make department groups rather than project groups?
Is there a way to create department groups in Projects? Example: We have 3 designers on staff. For design tasks, I have to assign design tasks to all 3 individually.
