Global Add | Online Help | Zoho Projects

Global Add

Global Add makes it easy to add tasks, task lists, issues, phases, timesheets, forums, projects, and users without navigating to their specific modules. Simply click  on the upper right corner of the top band to add new entries.


Use cases

Sales: Sales reps are mostly on the go, and many a times tasks are added on the go. In such circumstances, sales reps can use this Global Add feature to quickly add the task rather than the time-consuming steps of choosing the project, switching to the Tasks tab, then adding the task. 

Construction: When you have multiple issues to be added across multiple projects, navigating inside each project to add them can be cumbersome. You can use the Global Add option to add issues to the projects from a single page.

Software development/ IT: Developers can work on many tasks at once. This Global Add option makes it simple to add a new task to a project and upload a new document to another project. 

Benefits

  1. Add work items from any page.
  2. Add work items without leaving the current page.
  3. Immediately open the work item if needed.
