Project Templates - Add a Template Later
I've started a Project without a template and want to apply our template to it now, is there a way to do this?
Zoho Project for CRM is clumsy and not intuitive
Zoho Pdoes a lot of things right as a platform provider and I have to say the support we have received has been better than many of the other SaaS platforms we work with. However, they do need to improve the diagnosing experience with their customers and get rid of old streams of discussion that really only help to confuse many people using the most current version of Zoho products. That being said, Zoho Projects promises a lot of fantastic integration within the CRM and the users of the CRM,
Permision for users to edit task completion percentages?
How can I allow users to edit completion percentages of tasks and limit them from being able to edit anything else? The only option I see is to give users permission to edit tasks in general that they own or are assigned to. I don't want them to be able to edit everything about the tasks. The only thing I want them to be able to edit and update is completion percentage. This way they won't mess up budgeted hours, change dates or delete things on accident. Is this possible?
Reflect Deals Financial Stats in Associated Project
I am learning Zoho so please excuse if I misunderstand something. I set up a project, marketing campaign. Besides regular task management I see that projects can be associated with deals. My assumption was that if I do, I can then see the stats from those deals in the Dashboard or Finance tab of the project. I closed some deals during this campaign and associated them (had to create accounts for each contact just for that). When I look for any financial data, I do not see the amounts of the won deals.
No task attachment icon next to Workdrive files
Hi, Not a huge issue at all but just noticed that the attachment icon doesn't show next to a task in the task list when a Workdrive file is added. Just nice to see which tasks have files attached... Best regards Jon

Unable to use HTML email in a Custom Function using Deluge sendmail[]
Hi, I'm trying to create a custom function that sends an email, an HTML email with formatting and images, to be used with a business rule in Zoho Projects. I've stripped the 'message' part of the sendmail function right back to basics but it still fails. In the example below, removing the DIV styling tags allows it to save successfully. Won't save with styling tags, or image tags.If the message is changed to a simple "<div>TEST</div>" it saves. Can anybody please shed some light on what the problem

Enable the home page for client users
Enable the home page for client users would be ideal. A client user log-in directly into a project, but would be most effective if he could see his home page with the summary of his tasks/issues. This function is already active in the mobile app, so I think should be enabled also in the web app,
Is there a way to predict backlog for projects and to track actual start/finish dates for tasks as compared to planned
Hello, I'm new to project management and zoho projects. I have spent a few hours online watching some videos as well as doing some google searching but have a few questions I have not found the answer to. Is there a way to enter the required milestones, task lists, tasks and subtasks for a project and then come up with an expected project completion date based upon a start date? Is there also a way to work backwards and determine a suggested start date based upon a completion date deadline? (Much
Duplicated tasks not automatically appearing in task list
Last week this featured worked perfectly. It's not working now. 1) I create a task 2) I copy the task, and set the number of copies I want made 3) I get the confirmation that the duplicate copies have been made and then nothing. The newly duplicated tasks don't appear in the left-side-bar task list. If I close out of the task, the tasks don't appear in the list of tasks associated with the project. I have to refresh the task list (by clicking All Tasks) and then the duplicate tasks appear. Any suggestions
A Couple Blueprint Update Ideas
Would it be possible to have blueprints applied to a task, even if they did not meet the blueprint requirements when they were first created? I.E. if they are updated and THEN meet the requirement, the blueprint is associated. I have a blueprint which is set to be applied when certain people are assigned a task. I tend to create tasks by clicking the "Add Task" button underneath each Task List in the Task List view. I just give it a title then hit Enter. Once the task is created, I click into it

Start and End Date no longer required from main task dialog? Great!
When using the main task dialog it used to always force the user to enter a start and end date. Today I notice that is no longer the case. I hope that is purposeful and going to stay that way because it is an incredibly welcome addition!
Modify width of Name column in Projects tab?
Loving the custom views for the Projects tab. With the fields other than "Project Name", we can modify the field width. Is there a way to modify the width of "Project Name"? There's a lot of valuable space that is just "white space". It would be nice to be able to shorten this field so more fields display on the screen without scrolling. If this is not currently possible, I'd like to request this as an enhancement request. Thanks, Scott

HELP - Zoho Projects is running so slow
Zoho Projects is running so slow. What can I do to fix this? The repose time is about 5 seconds per action, making the tool unusable.
Project List Sub-Grouping & Sorting
Would it be possible to allow sub-grouping of projects in the Projects tab including sub-grouping by a custom field)? Also a default sorting? Our company has multiple branches which are set as a Group. Each branch has multiple crew which I have created a custom field to select within the project. Currently, I can only group by Group (branch). I would like the ability to sub-group by crew under each branch. I would also like to have the ability to sort by start date within each sub-group. Additionally,
Ability to filter via search criteria within Task and Calendar view (we use this for content publishing)
We rely on tags for a lot of tasks. Currently Zoho does not have this feature so we create our own eg. #pub (for publish). ie. We "tag" a task name #pub if it is to publish content on a given date. As a basic function, we would like to be able to filter Tasks (including in Calendar view by task title search eg. by #pub.... so we can filter view only these tasks, ----- Longer term we would love to see tag implementation and features useful for tasks/projects that require a delivery schedule such as
Tip 43: Formula custom fields in Zoho Projects
The data associated with projects is enormous. It is almost impossible to evaluate data by inspecting every field. With Zoho Projects, performing complex calculations is easy with Formula Custom Fields. Calculations can be done automatically by calling the values from the specified fields. Consider a scenario where the project owner wants to compute the total cost of inventory. He can create a field for obtaining the cost per unit, the quantity and a custom formula field for finding the product
For Calendar, please add a Day view besides the month view
I highly recommend to Zoho Projects Team to develop a Day view for the Calendar function.
Dissapointment: Projects and CRM
I just don't understand how this feature isn't available. We are consultants in large long term construction projects. Our Projects are being set up in Zoho so the Tasks match Construction Contracts broken down into sections. The Project Manager would divide the contract amount across all tasks at his discretion. We bill our clients incrementally based on the percentage of each Task that is complete. For example, Task #1 Site Evaluation may be two visits several months apart. After the first visit,
Sort of Completed Tasks in the Tasklist
completed tasks goes always at end of the view of the tasklist, no matter where they stood before. is there any way that the task will be at the same postion in the view were even when it's complete?
Zoho Project unable to load tasks across zoho
Recently, I faced a weird issue in Zoho Project in which no task from any projects were able to get loaded. This brought a halt to my organisation operations as we manage everything from zoho projects. It took Zoho 3 days to fix the issue. Additionally, in Zoho analytics all the reports crashed and landed in trash as they were all connected with Zoho projects. This is disastrous. Did anyone else faced the same issue ?
Feature Request: Global Timer Search Enhancement
The global timer is great and the ability to search for specific tasks is great. But it would be greater if the search was also able to search project names - e.g. I could search for a project name and have the tasks that are part of that project show up.

Project Start Date
I would like to have the ability to associate the Project Start Date with a specific task. Ex. What I consider to be my project Start date is actually in the middle of my project. All future tasks are dependencies and all past tasks are predecessors.
View All Projects and Manually Log Hours
Used Cases: 1. We want to be able to VIEW all the Projects and Tasks assigned to an individual in a single page when we click MY TIMESHEET > WEEKLY LOG TIME -- without a need to click the drop-down box and select Projects and Tasks assigned to an individual. 2. On point number 1 above, we should be able to manually log the hours by going into the column to log Time, selecting each row (each Tasks) without opening another screen to Log the Time.
z-Projects for organizing study?
Is anybody using z-Projects for study-projects? Not so much for "home-work", but rather for keeping track and organizing notes, progress, docs and next steps, etc. I would love to see examples and get inspiration/ideas on how to do this! (I am not a student or enrolled in a school, but an entrepreneur who needs to learn certain things for my business. So I'd like to gather sources of information, online courses, take notes and organize my approach & progress)
Custom Task View for Due Date is Empty
I want to create a custom view so I can easily call up tasks for which due dates have not been assigned, so that I can go through and assign due dates to them. Is this possible? I tried to create such a view by selecting "due date" "is" and then leaving the criteria blank. However Projects will not let me save such a view and instead insists I make a selection for criteria such as "this month" etc. Thank You
Use Duration and Start After to set time lead/lag for dependencies.
I've painstakingly built tasklist templates only to find that if you don't set lag-times, the time between your dependencies is not retained when you slide the predecessor tasks forward in the Gantt chart. My project has 25 tasklists, with ten dependencies each. That's 250 separate entries I need to make! Surely there's a better way. What if I could use the Duration and Start After times I've already set, and apply those to the lag times for dependencies? Even better if I could do this in bulk, or
Emailing Project Dashboard
Management's interested in receiving daily emails with project's status. I reckon sending them a link to the Dashboard (or the dashboard itself) should suffice their needs. I looked around but can't find an option to email the dashboard, or summary of project advance. Is anyone emailing automatic project status to stakeholders? HELP!
UI Suggestion for External Task Lists
When a Task List is external, there is very subtle light gray text next to it like so: Task List 1 (External) IMO it should be exactly the opposite: Task List 1 (External). This is something you want to call attention to so that internal company information is not accidentally shared. Thanks
Issue with Custom Fields In Custom template.
Hello Team Zoho, This has been a issue where we are unable to Change the column width of the custom fields individually when we are customizing template. It is always changing for all. In many cases there are custom fields which are not always of same width. There should be a individual column width for each custom field which has been added to transactions.
