Simply export / import tasks in a project
Hi, Given a Zoho project, I have exported all its tasks into a .xls or a .csv file. Then in order to correctly import my tasks into my project back, I need to : - edit the exported file to remove its header information (or the import tool won't find any columns, except one for the project name) - indicate to the import tool, within the file which column stands for each task information (task name -> task, % -> % complete ...) I don't understand why I have to edit an exported file Zoho created, in

Stop completed task lists from disappearing?
Is there any way to stop projects from making tasks lists disappear when all the tasks in the list are completed? That's one of those little things where we're constantly fighting the product. For instance we have some projects which are ongoing - no start and end date. We use Kanban view to show the various task lists. We don't want the kanban list to disappear every time the items on it happen to be closed out. Thanks

Default Work Hours
Hello, How can we change the default settings in Zoho Projects to never default the Work Hours when creating a task? The default seems to be Hours Per Work Day (9) * # of Days. Clearly the work effort is very different from the duration - for example, we may have a task that takes 4 hours but needs to be done over the next 5 business days. If the user entering the task forgets to change the Work Hours, then it will default to 45 hours, which then makes our resource utilization reports wildly inaccurate.
Tasks Duration Totals
The tasks list view should have a summary row at the bottom that adds up the total duration of the tasks in the view. Also, I need a section on the Project View that adds up all the task duration and shows a total.
