Expand/Collapse My Tasks list single button
It would be extremely helpful to be able to collapse or expand all tasks in Classic view in My Tasks by clicking just one button. This list doesn't load very well anyway and this would really help organise this list.
Cannot create project with ZohoOneEnterpriseTrial plan account
Hi, When I attempt to create a new project, the function to do so is ghosted and not clickable. Another user on the account had created a project. There was also a demo Project created by Zoho. After looking through some posts in here I found we can only have 1 project for the trial plan. So I deleted both projects but am still not able to create a new one. My user level is set to Admin. Any other ideas on how to fix? I've attached a pic of what I see in the Projects area.
Module geared more toward solopreneurs
I'd love to see Zoho roll out a projects module that's more for solopreneurs. I'm using Zoho Books now and would love to be able to move more of my applications under the Zoho umbrella. Unfortunately, Zoho CRM and Projects is just too unwieldy for me as a solopreneur. I'd love to see Zoho have something more like Dubsado or 17Hats. A key thing would be the ability to send emails / monitor email from within the app itself (as opposed to having to switch out to CRM). Zoho seems to be made for large
One Zoho Projects account, Two Zoho Books Accounts
Hi there, We are in the phase of transitioning from a proprietorship entity to a Private Limited entity. In this transition, we will need to keep both the accounts live since it is the middle of the financial year. However, the clients are not changing. Some clients will be a part of the proprietorship entity, and some a part of the new private limited entity. And so, we wish to connect two Professional Zoho Books accounts to one Zoho Projects account. Is this possible? If not, can your team please
Share personal information in Zoho projects (US server)
we use Zoho projects, where we add personal information of clients in the tasks, our GPO tells us that we can not add this information because the server is outside the EU and we would need permission. this is so? the only way to continue with Zoho projects would be to migrate it to the EU, but from Zoho there is no way to do it without losing information.
Resource Allocation Chart - Why Are Some Hours Missing?
When looking at the resource allocation chart: Appears that the work hours on some tasks a) are not included on the labels and b) not counted towards the total hours for the day. I can't figure out why some are working and some are not. I have attached the following: - Screen shot of resource allocation chart where some tasks are showing work hours and some are not - Screen shot of a task that is working - Screen shot of a task that is not working Can anyone help me figure this out?
Client user see option for Gantt Chart under Reports tab but can not see the chart
As the Project user I can see the Gantt Chart report but the client user on the same project only see the option for Gantt Chart on the Reports TAB but clciking it does nothing yieding no report. This client user has been assigned to the external projects tasks as a user and can view Task lists etc
Sub-Tasks and Planned vs Actual Resources
Hi there, If I set a budget of e.g. 10 hours to work on a task, then register 2 hours of work to a sub-task, those 2 hours will appear as actual hours on the sub-task, but will not be added to the hours worked on the parent task. Since sub-tasks are by definition part of the parent task, I would consider this a bug, which limit the utility of what is otherwise an excellent feature. Do you think you might be able to do anything about it? Another way to do this would be to allow planning to take place
Tip #29: Manage projects via email
Email has come a long way from being a simple communication tool to an effective work management product. Zoho Projects lets you perform several actions such as: add tasks, comment on tasks and other project activities, post replies to forums and add documents to folders right from your email. Our focus today is on adding tasks to your projects. You will need the task email alias to add tasks to your project. Navigate to Project > Dashboard and click . Copy the email alias under To Add Task. The
How do I mass edit time entries?
Since you can not filter or sort time entries by what has and has not been invoiced (you can only see the icon but not separate invoiced from non-invoiced), I would like all time to initially be entered in as un-billable and I can change to billable as I bill them. (since you can see this separation) So my question is HOW do I mass edit this? Can it be done?
View Planned Timeline vs. Actual Timeline in Gannt Chart
Can I compare in Zoho Projects the original timeline projection with the actual timeline of the project in the Gannt Chart? When I change the dates and times in an already defined project I lose the initial definitions. I would like to be able to see graphically my Planned time vs the Actual time. See attachment as example. I got that screen from another Project Management tool that has that feature. That is a very good tool!
How to edit Group Names - Seen when creating a new project from template

Task and Sub Task Definition in ZOHO
Greetings. Can I have several levels of task groupings in ZOHO? The advance percentage of grouping levels is updated automatically or do I have to manually record the progress of groupers?
organize issues by product
We are a software company with several products (4 to 6): what is the way you suggest to manage bugs in our case. Apparently we can't view a list or a Kanban of issues accross different projects. And Also I've been told that you don't have modules anymore (it was a possible solution to organize our bugs according to products). what is the alternative for us. because as a manager I can't possibly do my job if the issues are only visible within their respective projects, I can't assign them if I don't

Task List Advice
Hey guys! do you use the task list feature?! if i create a task list - it looks like as i add them, the 'newest' shows at the top? So, my tip would be, if that's the case, start with your last step first and then they will be in order! I.E. if your steps are, create domain name add cname record set up hosting then it will appear in your task as :: set up hosting add cname record create domain name and that's backwards - these tools are supposed to make our lives easier and we get everything ironed
notes on timers needs help
timers are very useful, but without notes they arent. yes, zoho projects timers have the ability to enter notes but its implemented in a way that is very limiting. 1. when closing a timer on iOS, please prompt us for a note description instead of just closing the timer 2. on the web app, when i go check the notes on a time log, i can not COPY the text of the note without going in to EDIT the timer first. I can hover over the SHOW NOTES button but if i move my mouse over to try and select and copy
Task Functionality
Trying to figure out if there's a way to use a task with a specific field tied to JUST that ONE task - so the user can select from a dropdown box or (pick list as they call it) the answer to the task and then click 'close'. the task only requires a one word answer yes or no - i've created Task Layouts but those are associated with each new task created. I thought creating the fields would allow me to assign fields TO a task but it doesn't - or at least i can't figure it out. I have to have this Yes
Tip #26: Execute Next Business Rule
Business rules support webhooks. Each business rule can be used to call a webhook when a specific criteria is met. What if you need to call two different webhooks for a matching criteria? Continuing from our Tip #25, lets see how to workaround this limitation using the 'Execute Next Business Rule' option. 1. Create a business rule to 'Update Support Ticket' when a bug is created or updated and set the criteria to match when the status is 'Closed'. Select the "Execute Next Business Rule" option.
Notifications for users tagged in comments
I've looked for this, and can't find a solution. When a user is tagged in a comment (e.g. @User1) it would be great if they receved a notification - either by e-mail, or by the notification button (bell) in the top right of the window. Otherwise, there's no way to know if you've been tagged.
New Zoho Projects Time entry in API - General Error - 6500

Tip #25: Updating Tickets in Desk from Zoho Projects
Customers submitting tickets in Zoho Desk often wonder about its status. Support executives convert the ticket to a bug and it's filed in Zoho Projects. But what next? How do you inform the status to customers or notify them that the bug has been resolved? Business Rules can be used to solve this problem. A Business Rule performs a necessary action when the specific criteria is met. To inform the customer that a ticket has been resolved, a notification can be sent to the user when the bug is closed.
Simple Notes Section Within a Project?
Hello- New to projects and am still getting to know the software. I have searched everywhere to find a place to write simple notes within a project. I would assume this would be within the dashboard. Is there a way to add a simple not field or two? As a work around, I'm creating a document within the documents section and I'm placing notes in there, but this is a very awkward workflow and it ends up opening a new window. Any advice? Thanks!

task layouts on a task list basis (instead of per project)
task layouts are amazing. the ability to add custom fields, and have them available on iOS, and also have the ability to bulk change the custom fields is great. our issue is that we need to have different task layouts for different types of task lists. it would be great if we could adjust the task layout on the fly on a per task list basis. this would tremendously help our work flows. current if we do it project wide, then having a default value hurts us instead of helps us. we would only want a
Attach google doc
How do i sync/attach a google doc to zoho projects? Every time i do it, it wants to "upload" the doc and put it into zoho drive. That is absolutely not what I want. Let's face it: Zoho docs is terrible. Google is way ahead, and I want to use GOOGLE DOCS, not zoho!! ALl i want is a reference to my GOOGLE drive. Yet zoho insists on inserting itself into the equation. This makes it a very frustrating experience. All our stuff is in google drive. I want it to remain there. Why is zoho fighting us on
