milestone Gantt chart improvement request
I'm a big fan of having milestone Gantt charts across projects. its one of the reasons im considering switching over from teamwork.com over to zoho one. in milestone gantt, id like to get an overview of all my milestones across all projects. currently I can with your milestone view, but its a little hard. 1. the milestones seem randomly sorted, can we have a sorting option? maybe sort them by project and then by date? 2. can we color code milestones based on project? right now they all are red....
Tab change order skips the "Mandatory Field" box on Field Property entry windows
I'm creating a new project template and recording over 10 picklist fields in it. I wanted to use my keyboard to quickly edit their properties but the tab key order doesn't stop on the "Mandatory Field" box. I have to switch to my mouse everytime to check
Order by in Issues view
Having the option to "order by" the rows in the Zoho Project Issues screens would be ideal. At now it is possible only to order by "creation date", "last modified date" and "due date", but for example I cannot order my issues by severity or status. The option to order by severity is almost a requirement please! The option to order also by custom-fields would be great Order by all field is already available in tasks, please enable the same function in the Issues page.
Recurring tasks
My team has to complete some tasks every day so we set up recurring tasks. These get duplicated though when we look at projects by Gant Chart view which makes. a project look messy. Is there a better way to manage recurring tasks so they don't create

Filter Question
We use two main project groups - Internal and Client. I am using the brand new Zoho Projects. In the My Tasks view, I would like to filter tasks by a Project Group. For instance all tasks belonging to Client projects. If I click on filter there is an option to filter by project group, but it never works for tasks. No results are ever returned. Please advise. Thank You

Tip 51: Time log restriction based on work hours
Timesheets are used for tracking time logs of task, issues and approving them. You can control the number of hours a user can log into timesheets. Businesses enter into agreements with their customers that stipulate the number of hours a job can take and the rate at which it is billed. Logging additional hours would mean an increase in billable hours. Zoho Projects lets you restrict time log entries based on work hours (planned hours) allotted for tasks. A user cannot log more than the allotted
Release Milestones - what they are
In Zoho Projects, what is a Release Milestone ? Could you give me a synonym term for that concept ?
Task Comments Permitions
I have a suggestion. You can give the capability to the user in specific comments to give permissions which user can see it and for the other can be hidden. Of course default is all and then you can pick. I suggest this Idea because we constantly have a minor problem when in one task there is collaboration between managers and employees. The problem is that we can not say all thinks public. For example "i do not like his presentation but lets give me a second chance etc etc. So we change messages
Google Calendar on Projects
hello, this is a very good feature but has a litle bug. When you want to add an event the time is always 1200-1200 as in image. Can this take the task time because we have each time to just clone the task hours there wehile we could only just create an event with one click thanks

When creating an invoice in Zoho Project, can we change field of the invoice with custom fields ?
Hi Zoho I use timesheet with Zoho Project. We assign Task to different user. They add Note. We also use Product in CRM. Integration work fin between CRM and Project. When creating an invoice in Zoho Project, can we change field of the invoice with custom fields ?

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. Monica owns a construction company and wants to keep track of projects that have exceeded the budget. She chooses Budget Health from the predefined fields and filters the projects with cost overruns. She saves this as a custom
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
TASK CSV Export - please add URL as a field
please add the task url as an exportable field in the CSV Export. We are trying to automate printed labels for each task from a brother printer. we want one of the fields to be a QR code that brings us right to the task. I tested this with the task URL and it works perfectly, we just need it exposed in the CSV file. Hopefully this isnt hard to do and you can reveal it quickly?
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?

Sales Orders in Finance Section - When?
The inclusion of Sales Orders in Projects in Zoho Books was huge. When can we expect to see them in the Zoho Projects integration with Books? We need a selection called "Sales Orders" just like there is for Estimates and Invoices. Adding project Purchase Orders and Bills would also be extremely useful, but Sales Orders is a must. Thank You
How to divide a single task into several different days?
How to divide a single task into several different days? Let me explain, John has a 24-hour task. I schedule it for him Monday through Thursday. He has another task from another project at 8am on Tuesday that I can't move. Currently, in order to have a fair resource management, I divide the 24h task into 3 tasks of 8 hours that I place Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. This becomes complicated to manage with about 20 divided tasks that I have to shift continuously. Do you have a solution? Thank you
Base line
Hola a todos! Soy nueva en zoho projects y tengo una duda que no puedo resolver, estoy dando seguimiento a un proyecto, pero como en cualquier proyecto, las fechas de inicio y fin "REALES" para una tarea muchas veces son distintas a las planeadas. En zoho projects puedo ver que ya viene la fecha de término real de una tarea pero no la de inicio real, por lo que agregué un campo fecha dentro de mi plantilla de tareas. Pero existe la manera de que se visualice en la linea base? En mi diagrama de

Import/Associate "Task Description" field from MS Project
Hello, Our workflow is to create a project in MS Project (much faster than creating every individual task in Zoho), and import it to a Zoho project. When I import the project, I have very few issues except I'm not given the option to associate my custom field "Task Descriptions' to the Zoho "Task Descriptions" field. (See attached image) How can I accomplish this without opening every single task and copy+pasting the descriptions? Thanks

Tip 47: View dependent tasks and dependency status
Projects can have multiple tasks that need to be carried out in sequence. This results in task dependency, for example an invoice can be sent only if the quote is ready. Therefore, the predecessor task must complete in order for the successor to begin. To take early and proactive action, you should be able to view the dependent tasks. In Zoho Projects, you can see the dependency status in the task details page. You can hover over the status and view all the dependent tasks. Clicking on the individual

Is a new gmail add-on coming??
It appears the ability to add a new task, bug etc. from right within gmail is gone with the new gmail. I am surprised not to see a bunch of posts in this forum asking when you will be releasing a new gmail add-on that works with Googles new gmail integration for addons. Being able to quickly add tasks and so on from gmail is one of Zoho's many strong features, I hope not to lose it. Yes I know you can email to a project but that is much different. Thank You
