Project Dashboard - Status email notification

Project Dashboard - Status email notification

Hi,

some staff members at my company has been using Zoho Projects for a few months now and we love it!

One thing though I am a little unsure of though and would like a little advice please....

Whenever we make any changes to Tasks, Milestones, Forums or comment on these the correct staff who are members of the project will get an email to alert them a change has been made which is good. I also get weekly messages about unassigned tasks and a digest of any tasks outstanding.

However, no one seems to get a notification for any Status messages added to the general Dashboard area within a Project. 
For example, if I might wish to let everyone on the project know that I will be talking to a client about something related to the project by adding a quick post on the Status page. This is just a casual comment and therefore does become a task, milestone, etc but no one gets this status message through email. If we have the Chrome extension installed we do see a digit show up on it to say a comment has been added but it's not very distinct and easily missed, it would be clearer to also get an email message about the comment.

Problem is, that there are some staff on the project but who do not want to log into Zoho that often. It would be good for them to receive an email to just 'keep them in the loop'.

Is it just me or is this function not possible? 
Thanks
Russ

      • Tip: How to print the Gantt View

        Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones

      • Four types of task dependencies

        "Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs."                                                                                                                  - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise

      • Task Inline Editing Enhancement

        Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
