Navigating projects
I love zoho and you have always been so responsive to our feedback. Thanks. So, my latest comment is that we have so many projects that it can be difficult to navigate and quickly find the one I am looking for. I am not sure how to resolve this, but perhaps the screen that allows you to re-order projects could also be clickable to open the project clicked upon? karen
Overall-Time of a task
hi team, first of all, zoho project is simply awesome :) there is on single feature i still miss though: its not possible to see how long a task took to complete or how long somebody worked on a tasked already. that'd be sweet :) ok, so long Philipp Hoffmann p.hoffmann
Zoho Security
Beyond the SSL feature, what other types of security features, systems, practices are followed by Zoho when it comes to 1) Information entered into Zoho Projects, and 2) Documents Uploaded into Zoho Projects? Basically, what safeguards are in place to keep my information on Zoho private and confidential? Thanks.
Zoho Project compared to the competition

Users deleting tasks ???
Hi, I started using zoho projects and am very pleased with it, however I need some help : I created some milestones and tasks on my project, then assigned tasks to some "employees". After some testing, one of the project users with a level of "employee" deleted a complete milestone with task lists and tasks, everything ! Is it possible for a regular base user to delete tasks or even change due dates on my global project milestones ???? I think this is wrong, is there anyway I can prevent this ??
can't add new project
I'm trying the free version of Zoho projects and can't add a project. It shows "No projects to view" in the project pane. Tried adding it many times with no luck. mark
Forum access
I have registered as a user on the forum and have recd a confirmation email with my user name and pass. I can log on OK - but when I try to reply to a post I am told that posts from guests are allowed but when pressing submit nothing happens and my post appears to be lost.... ! geoffwebber
date / time formats
Apologies for starting another thread but cannot reply to my original (seperate item raised for this) I have rechecked my regional settings and all are confirmed as UK format. Even though you say the bug has been fixed I still get mm-dd-yyyy as the format when choosing a date from the picker instead of dd/mm/yyyy geoffwebber
date/time layouts
Even when i have specified the standard 24hr UK format time and dd/mm/yyyy for dates, why are dates in tasks and milestones etc shown in mm-dd-yyyy format geoffwebber
Default view
I am in Tasks & Milestones View of Project1. When I click Project2, it goes to dashboard view. THe view should not get changed, when I click other projects. Or is there any provision to set a default view for my account Perumal NS

Moving Tasks Between Milestones
Hi I seem to have come across a bug that occurs when trying to move tasks between tasklists. In the drop down that shows the Task Lists that you can move the task to: If a task list does not have any open tasks but has closed tasks, it will not appear in the drop down list. A task list does appear when it has no tasks as long as there are no closed tasks. If there are no open tasks but closed tasks you have to untick one of the closed tasks or create a temporary task to get an open task to allow

Dependancies
I would like to be able to create dependencies between tasks, so that one cannot start until the previous one has been completed. geoffwebber
rolled up Project info
is it possible to have a chart that shows milestones / tasks for more than one project at a time. We tend to have more than one project on the go at at time and it would be useful to see them all on one report. Cheers geoffwebber
Quick document creation
Hi there, First of all, congrats for a great tool! I'm using it on a daily basis and find it very useful. One thing I happen to miss several times was the ability to be able to create a quick plain text file for notes; it could be a post-it like or just a tiny editor, no text format needed. The workaround for this now is to upload a document but this involves several clicks and time. My 2 cents. Thanks! F. fede
Interim milestones
In our business, we have multiple interim milestones we have to achieve to reach major milestones. I have just started using Zoho Projects. Is there a way to create "nested" milestones?
Time recording
i would like to see some method of grouping time spent on tasks please. In our tech support office I want to record time spent on a number of specific tasks over the year. Tasks would include Tech support, Training etc etc. Each team member has their own version of each task. Perhaps tasks could have an "include in time tracking" flag so that only those tagged as such would get included in cumulative reports. Thanks - geoff geoffwebber
tabs
can you select which tabs you want in your system and which tabs you don't? like zoho crm? kevin.st.clergy
Invoicing solution
It seems that Zoho project competes very well with Basecamp (http://www.basecamphq.com/) I would like to see a way to send invoices. Blinksales (http://www.blinksale.com/) integrates with Basecamp to solve this problem. Your software seems to have more features and potential than Basecamp. salim_jordan
date / time zones
Why does the task time log still refer to PDT when I have my settings set to GMT- this makes the logging function less than useful geoffwebber
Offline sync for instant page load
Is there a chance that Zoho products work on-line and off-line, so that there is no (or minimum) latency when loading pages ? It is soooo frustrating when you are a heavy user to wait all the time for the pages to load...(even to change a detail in a task) I know this is no trivial issue You're working on a great product, gentlemen demo
Unable to Log Time
I created a test task. Then I went to 'Timesheet' and tried to add time associated with the task. The Task dropdown lists '--No Task--' and not my test task. salim_jordan
Improve Edit/Add Client Interface
I have signed up for and am testing both Zoho Projects and Zoho CRM. The interface for adding Accounts, which can be thought of as clients from a Project Management point of view is HEAPS better. I have attached screenshots to compare. I think Zoho Projects Edit Client view should include most (if not all) of the info that Zoho CRM collects. Also, note how in Zoho CRM an Account can have a Parent Account. For me this is big. I have a client for example (a design firm), that subcontracts work to me.
Timesheet across all projects
Is there a way to export a timesheet across all projects for all individuals? I find it very difficult to go into each project and find individual timesheets for each project. Same with the Calendar, a place to see an overall calendar. Also, have the Meeting times with a Start / Stop time or at least time allotment that goes into the timesheet so meetings count towards hours worked.
Upgrade failure
I attempted to purchase a package numerous times today and each time the Zoho payment processing fails. I receive an indefinite processing request message (sorry - do not remember exact verbiage). I do not receive a server error message just an indefinite processing. I like the product and would really like to upgrade from the free to a purchase plan but this is definitely affecting my confidence in your company's image. I hope this message reaches you.

How to see a master calendar
I have set up 4 projects in Zoho Projects. I want to see a master calendar that has entries from all projects. How do I do that? Same thing with tasks. I want to see the tasks from all four projects in one view. How do I do that? Also, sometimes I create a task/forum post, etc. in one project, then realize I want it on another project instead. How do I move tasks, etc from one project to another? asg
Provide another project solely for FAQ, Documentation, and T
I want most Users restricted to seeing only a single project(for purposes of Tasks & Milestones), but I would like them ALL to have access to a central Forum (ie, for FAQs) and Documents (ie, Project Standards Docs, Blank Forms, etc). In this respect, they need have NO ACCESS to Quickbooks. Is there a better way than to set up one ZOHO project, to which I add every single user? Project would have no Tasks/Milestones, Timesheets, Meetings... just Documents and Forum. rsonnenberg

Especially since the Administrator apparently can't RE-SET a user's password, I'm concerned that a user who changed his initial password and then forgets it may cause the project to lose that user's contributions. rsonnenberg

Definition of Milestones
I started working with Projects today. I am sort of liking it. The term "Milestones" is misleading. Traditionally a milestone is a point in time. You are using it to define a period of days that is more than one. I think it would be more appropriate to call this a "Project Phase". So you would have a Project Phase. within that phase, you would have tasks and meetings. Optimally you would also have milestones but these would have to be of a duration of max one day and min zero time. bob
Speed is STILL an issue
Why is Zoho STILL so slow? This is one of the primary factors that is preventing me and our team members who are testing this from moving ahead and recommending this tool institution wide for our educational institution. We like the convenience, the suite of tools that can be incorporated, but good god, this makes Blackboard seem like the speediest application known to human kind. In response to comments posted in a Techcrunch blog post from January 30, 2007, Sridhar Vembu said the following to complaints
Milestones Management - Tasks relationship
Is it possible to add the following feature to zoho projects : adding time relationship between tasks that is to say : having relation such as "start when finished", "Finish when start" between tasks ? This feature (well-known in MCS standard suite) is very usefull to planify tasks, iterate on planification and keep a gantt chart always up-to-date. emmanuel.schmitt
bug of portal url im Zoho project
Hi, I got a bug of portal url im Zoho project. Say I register a company named "sky", then I received email contain protal url "skyprojects.zoho.com", that's wrong. In fact, the portal url for my company should be "sky.projects.zoho.com" there should be a point in url. BTW, you guys do a great job in carry out all of zoho.com. Thank you! --quexer quexer

some more feedback
Some other things that would improve Zoho further; - Links from the "Latest Project Activity" under dashboard to the items mentioned in the list. - sort tasks by priority - close/expand task lists - view tasks by user regards James james
Calendar View Across Projects
Hi, I really like your Zoho Projects product and have a small design team I would like to try manage with this product, however, one of our requirements is a calendar that spans across all projects. Does this functionality exist? If not, is there a work around (i.e. an iCal feed from all projects). Please let me know. - Drew adavis
On Error: Meeting cannot be scheduled on expired timeline
If a meeting has happened in the past, yet the time of it changed, you cannot go back and edit as having occurred at a different time. In this case, there was a typo and the meeting had occurred at 10:30pm yet it was scheduled for 10:30am. User should be able to adjust meetings which have occurred in the past to reflect actual time they occurred. daniel.alexander
Project List Weirdness, After Upgrading to 20 Projects (pix)
after i upgraded to 20 projects i get the weird garbled project list below, apparently its trying to show details that i don't think are intended in that spot. please give me my clean project list back !
Tip 5 : Document Search,Preview Images & Thumbnail View
In Zoho Projects documents can be searched based on tags or based on file extensions. In order to search documents, Under Documents tab , on the top right corner choose the mode of search (by tag/by extension) in the selection combo and enter the tagname or extension name in the text field next to the combo. Documents matching the search criteria will be displayed in list format. Before downloading the images uploaded in the projects, users can see the preview of the images by clicking the Image
