Better Project reports are needed

I am trying out ZOHO Projects and need to brief/status my management almost weekly on the project schedule and show how it progresses to completion.

With the limited report options currently available this is very hard to do and is a huge selling point if we were ever to use ZOHO Projects again. If I can't show management a one page overview of the whole project and then the associated details it is hard for them to see how it is a benefit over using Microsoft Project. The export to Excel is only so helpful - managers like charts and a visual can be so much easier to grasp the big picture than a list of tasks.

We need:

user defined time frame for gantt charts to include any start/end date and all the milestones or tasks falling in that time frame. Right now you can't define your timeframe and the select month displays different time spans depending on what month you pick and does not show all tasks in that time frame, only the tasks that started that month.
selectable increments (monthly, weekly, etc. - if I want a whole year I need too choose only monthly increments). Also, the column title, like week or moth name, need to not text wrap. It needs to fit neatly. I have column increments with "Oc" and then "t" on the next line becasue it wrapped "Oct"
current year does not need to show months prior to when my project started - this wastes space on the chart

Please include report enhancements in the near future.

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 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.
