Anyone else experiencing very slow loading of pages in Zoho Projects?
I reported this yesterday only to be told there are no issues but is anyone else experiencing stupidly slow loading of pages. On our loading screen, it is taking often as long as 60 seconds to load a page and just stays on this screen for ages! Other
Task and Milestones - Dependency feature needed
I'm sure we're not the first to bring this up. We've been using zoho project for a while. Every project manager knows that to manage a successful project you need option to stack tasks and milestones and be able to create dependencies between tasks and milestones. I think you get the idea... Can you let us know if this feature is in the making or not? any chance we'll see this in future releases? If you need customer feedback about this feature or other enhancements, we'll be happy to test new products
Automate Zoho Projects Task Data Export and Email Delivery (for Non-Users)
In many real-world scenarios, we need to share Zoho Projects task updates with clients or team members who don’t use Zoho or don’t have access to the platform. Since there’s no built-in way to export and email tasks directly within Zoho Projects, I put
Exporting Templates
I have just spent 2 hours creating a project template for a Netsuite configuration, and want to share it with other Zoho Projects users - who have a different account. Is there any way to do this?
Different timezone for users
Is it possible for users to set a different timezone for themselves? We have staff in different locations. Thanks!
How to print a project plan?
I am often asked to provide a project plan by customers, which I would like to be able to print to a PDF. How do you all print out a project plan with the task lists and tasks? Export to Excel is not useful. It seems in the past there was something rudimentary
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
Export Project Tasks to Spreadsheets
Can you export project tasks to a csv or excel or zoho sheet format? Thanks, Barry rossros
Offline Usage
Do you have plans to explore options to use Zoho Project offline. I love it, but it presents issues that I cannot take my tasks with me when I am not connected to the internet on the road. I understand having all the documents and such available might not be possbile, but surely the tasks and milestones could be. I am thinking something with Google Gears. Please let me know. David Sarnowski
Projects offline access update
Chaps, Can you provide an update on plans to provide offline access for Projects? The latest request I found for this appears to go back to June 2009. Thanks.
Multiple Owners and Users of Tasks
There must be a way to choose more than one owner or user of the Tasks, Task Lists, Milestones, etc - on a team, sometimes more than one person is responsible. In the drop down list - you shuld be able to select more than one item/person. Besides "Owner" , we should have the ability to "assign" tasks to others, but not just 1 or just all or just none - should be able to choose. Thank you! B
Manage Followers
Hello Zoho team, It will be very nice if the Followers can be added/removed in a similar fashion as you can add/remove Owners in tasks. Right now it is hard because you have to open task by task, which it is too much work and very inefficient for the Project Manager. Also it is very inconvenient the fact that you have no way to remove a follower from a task....
Hotel management software
Hi, I am looking for a hotel management software for my small business. i have come across your pre-built application and was wanting to know more about it.
Anyone use Zoho Projects for goals setting?
My manager is looking to reduce the number of tools he has to use to see everyone's scope of work. He's wondering if anyone has used Zoho Projects to track individual performance goals? I set up a 2024 Goals project with each person as a Milestone, and
Changing the close date of tasks
If I'm inputting a project which has already started for completeness, how do I modify the actual close date of a task to reflect the date it actually closed. That is, when I close the tasks now it stamps it with the current date. Is there a way to override or modify the acutual close date of the project task. molligdj_udel
User access to folders within a project
Any way to restrict user access to specific folders of documents or must I create a new project to do so? Thanks.
Project or ToDo?
Mostly title. Would like to hear from solo users. Do you use Project or ToDo for personal tasks? I assume in this community the former, but curious as to pros and cons Project seems overkill, but much more powerful and flexible
A way to block off weekend days
We don't work on the weekends. It would be nice if when we were setting up new tasks we could block out Saturday and Sunday so they don't allowing tasks to be entered.
Default access for all users when creating a new project
is there an easy way to give access to all projects for a new user / client user AND vice versa : all users/client user when creating a new project ? Best regards
Meetings merge with Timesheet
It would be great if there is an option to have a checkbox or something and add a planned meeting directly into Timesheet. gpbakalov
Difference between internal and external tasks/milestones
What's the difference between internal and external tasks/milestones? Is there a help link within the project site for stuff like this? Thanks for any assistance provided.
Sharing Project Templates
I am trying to share a project template with a colleague so that we can collaborate on it and so that we can both use the template. i have added him as a "member" of the project, but he still does not have the Project Template link. How do I share this template with him?
Reorder Documents Folders funcionality
Hi, A Reorder Documents Folders functionality is a most/critical needed funcionality! It should be like the Reorder Projects in the Projects List. Are you planning to implement it in the next upgrade? Thanks, Joao Coelho
Prevent Changing of Start and End date in tasks
Can i prevent the changing of Start date and End date of the Task assigned????
Add Resources in Zoho projects
I would like to know how to assign a resource ( a car, a computer, etc.) to a employee. Thank you Antonio
Task Timer and task status update
Is there a way to automatically change task status when its timer is stopped?
milestone dependencies
It would be exceptionally useful to be able to assign dependencies on milestone/tasks. For example, if within a project I have three milestones for creating three ads for publication, but each ad also requires the logo to be finished by the graphic designer (a separate milestone), it would be useful to have the start dates of the later items dependent on another prerequisite component. That way, not only would I not have to enter the logo creation as a separate task for each of the three milestones,
Adding New Users is clunky...
I agree with other posters... New registering users are having trouble and are just plain confused by the sign in process. The absurdly long hieroglyphics-type link that new users need to click on is daunting for people who are not as tech savvy. Then a who separate sing in page, etc. Please simplify & clarify this process. Best Regards... Brian b@trax.org
Default Task Owner
@angiemeeker @zohoprojects Can I set a default task owner?
Meetings and Agendas
It would be good if there was some kind of agenda and meeting actions integration. Agenda could simple be an attachment, but then a way of entering actions for individuals that would then show up in that person's to do list would be great. danielduckworth.effortstu
Recurring Meetings
Meetings can only recur 10 times (weekly). I have some meetings that recur forever (unfortunately). Please add a way to have recurring meetings with no limit on the length of recurrence. lhsilva
Start Date and End Date
It would be good if could change the start date manually instead of having to click on the calendar everytime... Cheers Eike Klapper
task lists save in inverted order
When I create task lists, intuitively I start with the first task to be completed and then progress to the final task. However, zoho projects appears to then save them in reverse, or inverted, order. This causes a problem because when it inverts the task list it assigns the S# according to the inverted order so the last task becomes the first task with an S# of 1. Therefore when setting up dependencies you can not assign a later task as dependent on an earlier task because when inverted it is assigned
Email Add-to Project
It would be really handy to add emails as a Project task. Many emails I get translate to project tasks that need to be billed, and as it is, I have to recreate them as project tasks.
Administrator having the ability to change user profile deta
Dear Zoho: I have been using BasecampHQ and they allow the Admin to do anything to the Users. Change: name, photo, address, etc. This is a useful feature, as most users are lazy and most admin have to do the work for them, or risk having incomplete user profiles. I highly recommed changing this to give the Admin more rights. Thanks, Andy Andy Jacobs
Timesheet entry and comment on the actual timesheet
Dear madam/sir, It would be really helpful if we could add an option to comment on a specific timesheet entry, after the employee logs a time-log. Would that be possible in the future? Or can you suggest another way to do this?
Change who reported a bug.
We've all got those clients who refuse to interact with the system and just prefer to call. Wouldn't it be nice if we could enter a new bug and then CHANGE the reporter to the caller's ID. Possibly this could be something only an admin would do.
Awkward task entry
I am completely new Zoho project user and am trying to enter my first project. The process is very awkward and I wonder if I missed something. Enter task #1 Enter task #2 with start date = finish date of #1 Cannot set dependency at entry (major inconvenience) Go to dependency view and try to set #1 as predecessor to #2. Not accepted By trial & error I find that dependent task start date must come after previous task en date. I am used to enter tasks to start at present date, give duration and then
Anyone use Zoho Projects for managing smaller effort initiatives?
We have multiple "IT Initiatives" that are not as complex as an approved project, but still need to be tracked and managed. I was thinking of creating an IT Initiatives project with a Task List for each separate initiative. Anyone have a similar situation?
Managing meeting minutes and actions as part of a project
Hi, is anyone using Zoho features to address the following scenario? And even if you are not using Zoho features, have you come across with similar ask? Overall I am trying to address a challenge with minute taking/tracking As part of project, often,

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

We write mails to communicate. In Zoho Projects, we can write mails to collaborate. Yes, Zoho Projects supports Email based project management. The mails that you send turn into tasks, bugs, project comments, forum replies, etc. The following are some of the frequently asked questions that might be of some help to you.

Task and Project numbering
Zoho Projects now generates a unique number for each project, task, and issue added. The auto-generated ID is a combination of a prefix and a number which is assigned by Zoho Projects. The unique IDs for projects, tasks, and issues will be useful to track, identify, and search easily. You can modify the settings to enable or disable the Project and Task IDs. Learn more on how to modify Prefix & ID settings for projects and tasks. Issue IDs cannot be disabled, only its prefix can be changed (tasks
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.
