Custom reporing

Greetings. I am evaluating Zoho projects and I've paid for enterprise edition for this month in order to have full access to all features. We are playing around with it, but a key requirement is to be able to report against tasks assigned to a client ( in this case a project group since I cannot figure out clients in zoho projects), all hours billable hours worked for a month (or the current week), for example. Take the following example : a report with columns task name, billable hours, task owner, for a project group. This last point is important, because we may have 4 projects we are working for a client in one month, and I'd like to be able to pull a report of all projects and tasks for a client.

Now, this may be possible with time sheet reports, but I don't know how to enable this feature. Even though I've upgraded to enterprise, it keeps telling me it's not available on my current plan. Since I'm on the top tier plan, I'm at a loss here.

Also, I understand there's a Zoho report module and perhaps that will allow the type of reporting I need. But overall, basically I need to be able to pull reports of worked completed for a client, where every client may have multiple projects I'm working on, and where I have various clients.

Any information pointing me in the right direction will help as the basic reporting in the report section doesn't seem to cover my requirements, and moreover it appears to be on a project per project level, as opposed to a project group level.

Thank you.

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.

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.
