Tip #22 : Reusing 'Available Fields' in Layouts
Tasks are the fundamental blocks which build your project. Creating similar set of tasks every time you add a new project might chow down your productive time. Our customizable task layout feature lets you cut short such recursive activities by reusing the already used fields. Let's gain a better insight by considering Liz's business operations. Liz owns an interior design company. She gets a new order to remodel a play school. Liz creates a new task under the 'Play school remodel' project and assigns
why are my zoho projects not synching with zoho books?
activated integration projects and tasks don't sync neither way
Persistant 2-Factor Authentication
I am connecting to Zoho using Google / Chrome Browser. Zoho requires 2-Factor Authentication for security, which is good. The login screen says 2FA will not be required again on this browser / machine for another 180 days. But using the Chrome browser, 2FA must be used EVERY time I log in (annoying). Internet Explorer does not behave this way. It remembers the 2FA from before. Does anyone know how to enable this to work on Chrome? I looked in settings and did not see anything obvious. Our IT Tech
Contacts within Projects
wondering is client information like Client Name, Contacts, Address, Email, Phone is listed or stored somewhere / somehow on Projects. as our "projects" are for clients. Something similar to Harvest. Thank you!
Difficulty with Zoho Projects and Hours
Hello, I am brand new to Zoho Projects and evaluating to see if a fit for my company. We deal in Projects that have many small Tasks that are completed within minutes or hours. Due to the amount of detail of each Project and the number of Projects we engage in at one time, using Templates is absolutely necessary otherwise the time to manually setup a Project and its details would outweigh any efficiency gain benefit from using this application in the first place. Projects for us act as a to-do
Auto Calculation in Projects
Hi There, I am new to Zoho Projects and am currently setting up project templates. My query is: I would like to set a start date and an end date to a project with the task dates automatically calculated between. Is this possible? Our projects can quite often have start/end dates altered and I would like the tasks to automatically re-calculate to the new dates. Thank you.
Invoices & Expenses API Zoho Projects
Hi, I want to fetch the invoices and expenses for a given project via API but I'm unable to find any documentation on how to perform this. Is it possible to do it, or doesn't Zoho projects support this feature? Thanks in advance.
Reporting on tasks and bugs
Does anyone have a way to produce a report that shows all tasks and their associated bugs in one report view?

I am interested in using ZoHo Projects. I created a portal yesterday but was not offered a trial option with some of the paid features? Is it possible to get a trial? Thanks
Creating tasks without an owner
It'd be very useful to have the additional two options available for task ownership, when creating a new task: 1: The option to set a 'default owner' for all tasks. Especially useful for small business where all/the majority of tasks are for one person 2: The option to set the 'owner' as a required field when creating a task. This saves there being unassigned tasks. Currently, it's too easy to create a task that doesn't have an owner, and it's those tasks that can easily get lost, so a way to force
Is anyone using Zoho Projects Timer?
Two features that I need in order to use the timer are 1) Ability to change field values before the timer saves the record * Fields like Notes, Billable and even Task and Project 2) Have start and end time fields filled in when timer is stopped. * Currently it records the total time in the hours field and the Notes field shows from and to time. I am curious if anyone uses the timer and if not what else do you use? Regards, Glenn
API Add Time Log From/To times can not be added
According to the docs we can only add the hours and not the from and to time. https://www.zoho.com/projects/help/rest-api/log-time.html#alink2 I see the fields are called start_time and end_time from when I get All Time Logs where those values were entered manually. Unfortunately, when I tried to add them as parameters they were just ignored. Is this just an oversight or planned in the near future? Regards, Glenn

Create Project Automatically??
I'm a new user and I've been tasked with creating automated workflows. I have Z-One and am using Projects to make my task lists. Here's what I need: Someone completes a webform on site (either using our native Zoho forms, or Gravity Forms on site) and it creates a new project based on their First & Last Name, and then triggers the "INTAKE" milestone, including all the associated tasks and subtasks. This way, my intake department can see their dashboard update with new projects (clients) and the associated
Attachments like in CRM
I like the Attachments feature in Zoho CRM on the left side of the screen in Related Lists. I use it to add URLs/links to Contacts, Leads, Accounts, Cases, etc. I find it very very useful. In Projects I don't find a similar feature. I see where I can attach docs, but am forced to add it to a folder for docs, spreadsheets, pdfs, etc. I don't understand why it is designed this way. It seems clunky and arbitrary. It also seems inconsistent with the other apps. Can anyone enlighten me??
Difference between Zoho Projects and Zoho Bugtracker
Hi, Just looking through the Zoho One suite and saw the option for Zoho Projects and Zoho Bugtracker. After inspection they look almost identical, could someone please explain if there is any difference as we wish to make sure we are managing our applications correctly. Thank you again for having a look.
No Start After or Duration in Project Template
I spent hours setting up a project just right and made a Project template from it. I open the template and there is nothing in the "Start After" or the Duration fields for any of the tasks. I have at least one other Project template that does have values in these fields. What am I doing wrong?
Task Description Open by Default
With the new layout the task description is collapsed by default. This is causing issues with our team missing important details that are included in the description. I think it would be ideal if the description was visible by default, or if this would be available as an option in the Setup screen.
How do you use Task Lists?
I'm new to Zoho Projects and I'm trying to figure out the best way to use Task Lists. I've noticed that sometimes tasks are shown grouped by their Task List and other times they are shown with no grouping. When do you decide to use a task list instead of sub tasks?

Attachments (URL links) in CRM Modules...planned for Reports ???
Hi One of the features I use extensively in the modules Zoho CRM is Attachments. I use it in the Leads, Contacts, Cases, Campaigns, Solutions. I use it heavily and really like it. I'm baffled that Zoho Reports doesn't have this feature. Or am I missing something? I am relatively new to Projects so maybe I'm not aware of it. Are there plans to add it? Or could you add it to the feature requests? Thanks
Filtering of Tasks/Subtasks
I have many tasks, in a task list, and those tasks have up to four levels of subtasks. Is there a way to show only "matching" tasks when filtering - not higher level (in the subtask hierachy)? What i'm seeing is that when i filter in the Classic View - it is showing me "ALL" of the higher level tasks even when those don't match my filter, if one lower level task "DOES" match my filter. Due to the number of tasks in the hierachy, it's as if there is still no filter applied - even though there obviously
ADMINITRATIONS FOR DIFFERENT GROUPS
I have created separate GROUPS for different Departments in my company and each Group has an administrator. We don't need/want to see each others Projects and it needs to be that way because they need Admins rights to manage their projects. It would be nice to be able to customize the Admins roles to have just visibility of their Groups.
Zoho Projects Calendar to iOS Sync Time Zone
I am subscribing to my iOS device calendar using Zoho projects, but the time zone on my device is off 1 hour from the Projects calendar. We are in an area of the US with Daylight Savings Time and think this may be the issue. Projects is set to EST and device is as well. Any ideas?

View all tasks across all projects
I am trying out Zoho One. I manage a small team of developers, we are all working on multiple projects. The first thing I looked at was Projects and Tasks. I have created a few tasks in a project. But where can I see All Tasks I have? Independent of project. I may have several tasks across multiple projects to do today for example. Where is my today view, and all task view? I would like to order tasks on priority and they may tasks for multiple projects. But I can only see tasks in a per project
Agile features
We are testing Zoho projects as one of the alternative approaches for agile IT product development. However we are unable to find a list of features that we see as important. Is it possible to: 1) Specify task duration without setting start date? We first define our tasks and then we select which to attack in every code sprint, we do not have predefined start/end dates. 2) Add a longer description of a task (in addition to a short title) or only comments are allowed? 3) Create user stories or otherwise
Zoho projects API unable to create subtask with start date
Good morning, I noticed a bug with the Zoho projects API. When creating a task, I was able to create a task and set the start date and end date. However, when creating the subtask I was unable to set the start and end date. Python pseudocode follows: # Create the root task post_params = {'authtoken': authtoken, 'name': task_name, 'start_date': '11-01-2017', 'end_date': '12-01-2017', 'person_responsible': assigned_person,

Add key codes and friendly URLs to projects, tasks and bugs
You should consider a full review of how projects, tasks and issues are identified. I was a Jira user that moved to Zoho Projects and one of the features our company misses and needs the most is the ability to refer to a task or bug with a simple code instead of a lengthy - not useful - number. For example, when creating a project, ask the user to set a project key (4-5 letter unique code). Thus all tasks and bugs are created with this KEY as a prefix. Of course, this hast to be shown in the URL
How do I move a closed task to a different task list?
At the end of the day we need to print all of the tasks that were closed that day. After the tasks are printed, I would like to move them to a different Task List so it is clear they don't need to be printed again. Once a Task is closed, the box next to the task that you can check when it's open (to move, change priority, etc) is gone. I need that box back or some other way to move the completed task. How?
