Tip #16: Wake up the lazy bugs
Staying on top of bugs is now less tedious than before. You can set reminders for your bugs and receive email notifications before the impending due date. This lets you stay focused on resolving the bug and not worry about missing deadlines. Reminders can be set when submitting a bug or while editing the bug properties. You can choose to be notified on the due date or earlier based on the project requirement. The following options are available: None: No reminder is set for the bug.

deleted project, can not add project.
I created a test account a few months ago, had one project with nothing in it. Just testing around I deleted the project. Now I don't see anywhere that I could add a project. The help says I'm suppose to see a blue button on the right hand side. I don't see any button. Can someone direct me to where I can add a project? -Gabe

I have the very useful switch between View by Group and View by Client. However the people in the project who are also part of ZOHO CRM do not have the "View by Client" view like I have. We have been looking through all setting but i don't know how to make it happen that project members also can have the "view by Client"

Express versus Premium Version
Hello guys, We saw some issues about features comparison, to choose if Zoho Projects comprise all our needs. 1 - We are very interested on Express version. But we are concerned due the fact that we just need the resource "Task Duration per Hour" in that version, currently available only for "Premium or Enterprise". And it´s a simple feature. 2 - "Zoho Reports" is very important and it´s not clear if this is fully available for Premium, or also we need to pay more $15/month. 3 - On "Complete Pricing

How do I turn off notifications?
How do I turn off notifications?
Email notifications
I have created projects for my colleagues and have made them the managers of their respective projects. I am still receiving notifications for the tasks they update. I would like to remove myself from this, however without disabling email notifications on future projects that I am involved in.
Error in total hours in Export Timesheet
Hi ! For example, If you have 138:55 total hours in an Export Timesheet (see attachment), hours to calculate is not 138.91 (or 138.92 according to the rounding) but 138.83, as if Zoho saw 138:55 as 138:50 by rounding to the lower ten minute. In this case, 5 minutes are lost. Can you fix this? Regards.
Zoho Projects new UI

For Zoho Projects: how to choose between books or invoice?
I am starting to develop our company's project management in zoho projects. I am looking into invoicing and budgeting. The guide says I can choose to integrate either zoho books or invoice, but the choice is irreversible once I make it. I have poked around both apps, and looked through the forums and I have not yet found a comparison of why I would choose one over the other. From what I could tell, books includes all of the features of invoice, and much more. But is there a reason why I would
Overlapping tasks/separate milestones on Gantt Chart
Hi! I have multiple project phases (milestones) moving at the same time. When viewing the gantt chart I can't filter out tasks by milestone so they are overlapping. I can only filter "Open" and "Closed" milestones. This is really screwing everything up. Is there a function that I am missing, or can I bypass this in any way? Please help. Regards, Andrey PS: I'm using the premium version.
Crashlytics Integration
Mobile apps have hijacked our day-to-day life. It's no surprise that most businesses now use apps to reach their clients. However, apps don't always function the way we would like them to. When an application crashes it dents the user experience. Development teams need to track these crashes and rectify them quickly. Zoho Projects now integrates with Crashlytics to help file your crashes as bugs and see them through to their resolution. Premium and Enterprise Plan users can set up service hooks
Creating a task for a consultant not in zoho
As an architect, I often need to prepare drawings or documents for other consultants to then do their work. While they are working, our team is waiting for them, but their lead time is an important item in the schedule to see. I would like to be able to schedule this into the project as an item we are waiting for without needing to invite that consultant to zoho projects. Then the item shows up in the calendar and on the gantt chart and we can add dependencies to it. What's the best way to do

Bugs Associated to Tasks
Hello, It's great that when we look at our Task List we can easily see if any have Bugs associated to them (little bug icon), it would be fantastic if the Bug icon would disappear if the Task had no "Open" Bugs associated to it. (as opposed to deleting the link) Please add this functionality Creig
Task queueing?
Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to queue tasks in sequence. In other words - can I create tasks in such a way that task 2 cannot begin until task 1 is completed, and thus keeps getting pushed down the calendar without me having to do so manually? This is very important to me, so any help is appreciated. If I have not explained my query clearly please let me know. Thanks in advance! Andrey

Unable to drag and drop tasks to make sub tasks
I have created a project and added multiple task lists- I am trying to make certain tasks sub tasks but am unable to drag and drop. The only solution seems to be to redo the entire list by creating a task and in detail mode add subtasks...any particular criteria which is required for tasks to be converted to subtasks?
Timesheet - Logging Time Ahead
We are trying to see if Zoho projects can replace our current solutions which includes a timesheet system. One thing I have not been able to do is log future time. This is for vacations and holidays (we have an internal project with an appropriate milestone and task). Since our billing cycle is biweekly and people may be on vacation between those pay periods, without being able to log time ahead, it holds up processes. I was unsure if this was a new idea or if something that is already implemented
Tip #15: Email Notification on Status Post
Hi, This week, let's see how to send email notifications to your project users when you post a status. When a new task or bug is added to the project, you will receive an email notification on the same. Why not for status messages? Well, you can send email alerts to your project users right when you post a status. What is the benefit of sending an email alert to status messages? Say, if some of your project users have not logged in to Zoho projects. What happens? They will not be notified on the
Project time billing options
When billing project time, I do not see the option for showing each time entry separately with the notes. This is available in Zoho Books project billing and we have clients who wish to see their invoices this way. Am I missing something to accomplish this or should I be submitting this as a feature request? Bruce Letterle Red Lab Media
Implications of deleting project templates
I wish to remove some now unused templates, but want to check that it won't affect the information logged against any projects which use or have used these templates. Can you please confirm/advise that no current or historical information will be lost. Thanks.

Access for Everyone
We are looking at potentially purchasing ZOHO. However one of the things we want is to have all users (approximately 18) have access and report off all open tasks and projects. Would the only way to do this is make everyone an Admin?
Project Events not updating in Google Calendar
Hi everyone, I had set up my Google calendar so I can see my Project events. It was working fine until today when it stopped synching. I have logged out and in of both Zoho and Google. Removed the calendar and re-added it back in, but it is still stuck at the calendar from yesterday. Not sure what else to do. It is making my planning complicated. Thanks in advance, Jessica

Tip # 14: Quick Tips for Better Task Management
Many of us find that as we learn more, we need to revisit the basics more often. And this is true with our Tasks module. So, check out these really quick tips with your tasks. Convert tasks to subtasks When you look at some of your projects, it might be clear that some tasks can be nested within others, since they represent smaller chunks of the bigger tasks.
