Task completion percent based on completed subtasks
Is it possible to have a given task's completion percentage update based on the subtasks completed? For example, Task has 2 Subtasks, when one subtask is closed, Task shows 50% complete.
Can we select which users to add into Projects before a Basecamp migration?
We have too many users on our Basecamp projects because Basecamp doesn't limit us about the amount of users and we did add even people from other departments who only needed to stay in the loop about certain projects. How will the migration process apply when a certain Basecamp project has more users than our account limit on Projects? Is it possible to only select related people from a Basecamp project during the migration?
Sorting tasks in My Tasks view
Why can't we sort tasks (or projects) by the column headers? What's mystifying is that in Books, Inventory, and CRM, we can sort by column headers in all views. Why the inconsistency? Even more frustrating, apparently, years ago this feature existed! What happened? Also, why has every request to implement the feature since its disappearance fallen on deaf ears -- (frighteningly) for years? As a project manager, it is absolutely necessary to be able to sort and view tasks and projects by any and all
Blueprint: Preview Criteria from task view
Hello, Please consider adding the following feature: Adding a preview ability to a blueprint transition that has criteria requirements associated with it. Since I'm the one creating blueprints, I understand what the transition requirements are, however users without access to task settings will not - and won't be able to easily understand what they need to accomplish in order to trigger the next transition. If the transition was grayed out with a lock icon, and with a popover of criteria, it would
Project > CRM integration.
Hi, I've associated CRM and Zoho Projects successfully but when I add a task and try to add to CRM I get a message saying "no accounts or deals found". I had this issue once before and managed to fix by disassociating the project and then reassociating but this hasn't worked. Can anyone suggest a fix?
Is there some sort of SLA available for tasks?
Hi, For ongoing projects is there a way to set a certain amount of hours available each month? For example if a client buys 8 hours per month can projects track this and let me know when hours are running out? If not do any of the other Zoho Apps have this type of functionality? Many thanks Jon
MS365 Calendar Integration
Hello, I am testing the calendar integration between ZProjects and MS365 and there appear to be two important limitations: The Integration appears to be one-way (from ZProjects to MS365) only as I have been unable to update an event in MS365 and have it go back to Zprojects. A repeating event created in ZProjects only goes over to MS365 as a single event and does not have any of the repeating times. Are both of these true or am I missing something?
Edit filter lists
Can I reorder/edit the drop down filter lists?
Exporting Critical Tasks
Is there a way to add an extra column to denote the tasks as "critical tasks" when exported to excel format?
Dashboard lists
Can a dashboard list show more than 10 items? Example- Today's Work Items on my current project has more than 10 items but only 10 of them show in the list.
Budget Items
Currently it seems you can only have budget items related to work hours based upon task. If I want to added budget items around travel related expenses or other expenses for the project how can I currently track that? Having the ability to add additional budget items beyond just hours seems to be a big need, since expenses are not just hours. Any suggestions or guidance would be apprecaiated.

How do I see the Task ID for each task? Do I need to upgrade from Free version to a paid version? Thanks.
Dashboard filters
When looking at the project dashboard, for example Today's Work Items, can I filter by owner and not just see all of the items in the project?
URL as task field type
I do remember reading a request about adding URL links as a task field type but couldn't find it on search so here it is : Please consider adding URL links as a task field type.
Are you going to introduce the "On Hold" type statuses into Projects?
I have just finished watching your "Blueprints in Zoho Projects" video. I'm curious if you are going to introduce the "On Hold" type statuses into Projects. This feature was recently included into the Desk ticket status types back a few months ago. An "On Hold" type of status should stop a timer on the task (or at least create a second type of reporting time) and create an additional report where the timer is calculated based on the task type. On Desk an "On Hold" type status means that the timer

And if you do, please put a number on where it says "zendesk" on the screenshot so the user can see at a glance how many Zoho Desk tickets are associated with the task. Thank You Thank you for considering.
Can project resource be added that are not Zoho Project users
Many of our projects have outside resources or our own employees with minor roles. We like to show them on the projects as resources but I cannot find a way to create a resource without it being a Zoho user and paying for the account. Can this be done? Thanks
Document access
I see from 2011 posts that there was no permission/access structure for documents in a project. Is this still the case? Without it, it's worthless to use the documents folder in a project!
Customize profiles with new restrictions
In Zoho Projects, you have more control over the user profiles by customizing them with access permissions. We have now enhanced the module-level permissions such as view permission for tasks & issues and field-level permissions for tasks. You can customize user profiles to view only the relevant tasks. For instance, you can customize the manager user profile with permission to view all the tasks while the contractor user profile can view only their related tasks. Moreover, you can customize user
List of attachments for Basecamp migration
Import your data from Basecamp into Zoho This page mentions that : You cannot import templates and attachments because of API limitations in Basecamp. My understanding of this statement is that the attachments in Basecamp To-Do's can't be imported into Zoho Project tasks. My question is if it's possible for you to create a report after the migration task is finished which includes the Basecamp To-Do url and the Zoho Project task ID/url where an attachment was found in a Basecamp To-Do and wasn't
Divide the budget of a project into various items

Stuck on "Create New Portal" Page
I am trying to get started with Zoho projects. I believe I am "signed in" with a user name and password. The first thing it tells me to do is create a portal. There is a line that has http://projects.zoho.com/portal/ then it has a blank area for me to enter my new portal name. When I enter something here, and then click on the "Create New Portal" button, nothing happens. It simply clears the field and I'm still stuck on this page. I am stuck and I can't get ahold from anyone from Zoho. Has anyone

GitLab Support
Hello, I am raising this feature request, because there is not a GitLab integration yet for ZOHO Projects.
Roles and data sharing
I don't understand how to use the Roles setting under the user settings to enable data sharing. Can anyone give me some guidance? I have multiple teams under one organization that need access to projects created by users on their teams.. The only way I have found to do this so far is to have the project creator add his teammates manually each time a project is created.
UI enhancements in Gantt charts
We recently launched a bunch of new features in Projects. Our Gantt charts were revamped to accommodate the most awaited feature - four types of task dependency. Here is a brief summary of the enhanced features supported by Gantt charts that will come in handy while working with task dependencies: Drag a line to set dependency. It's that simple. Link tasks using all the four types of dependencies. Drag a line from the predecessor task to the successor task in the Gantt chart to create a new dependency.
Is it possible to migrate only selected projects from Basecamp?
Can we select a set of projects from our Basecamp account when migrating? Also does the migration distinguish between Basecamp projects and teams? Basecamp3 has this new separation of "Teams" and "Projects". They are in fact not different entities from each other. "Teams" are rather used to create some team workspaces which aren't directly targeted at real projects.
Is there a sample CSV or XLS file I can use to import a task list?

Custom fields and sections for milestones.
Seems like milestones could use the ability to be customized. I'd like to be able to create layouts for milestones similar to how one creates them for tasks. Honestly, you all have the ideal functionality built, just needs to be applied to milestones.
Can you set task due dates to be "x" days before the milestone?
We have a milestone set as the date of our first event. All of the tasks need to happen in increments prior to the milestone event. Is there a way to configure this without having to set up each task due date? Thanks!
How I can create task in Project and link it with a Deal not Account in CRM
Background: I have Account with Deal in Zoho CRM and projects mapped with Account and Deal in Zoho Project. I would like to create task and sync them between Zoho Project and Zoho CRM. Problem is: When I tried to create task in Zoho CRM, I can either link task to Account Project or Deal Project. But when I tried to create task in Zoho Project, I can only link task to an Account, not Deal. See attached picture, you can only select Account, there is no Deal list.

Auto Create 'Projects'
Hi Our company imports and exports large container loads of products. These products are generally not put in inventory, but are rather delivered straight to a manufacturing customer. I am moving our department away from our old custom system and invoice system. Our system involves a series of repeated steps for each container which require doing in succession, as well as uploading and keeping compliance records/documents at certain stages in the process. I would like to see if zoho projects can
Need to be able to set a Closed Task as a Predecessor task
When using a roll-up defined project I find that I often have to add new tasks that are dependent on a existing closed task. Having this dependency will set the Start date of the new task. Unfortunately Projects does not allow the adding a dependency on a completed task. The work around is to go back and change the predecessor task to open, then add the dependency for the new task...and then go back and close the predecessor task (and remember to return the predecessor task completed date to the
