Project > Tasklines > Tasks + Preview of selected task in side-window (as in preview selected mail in mail-list) / fast editing (as in Jira & Mail clients)

Hello,

In alignment-meetings with teams it is very handy to go over all open tasks within projects to discuss & have further (status)updates and at same time edit or update tickets/tasks.

Instead of opening each task (under the TaskLines) and edit/update each opened task in a seperate window/page, it would be extremely handy (and time-winning) to have a sideview (half page) next to the list of tasks under all TaskLines (as in a preview of a selected mail in a mail-client, or as it works in Jira) where you have :

- left half page = all open TaskLines withing project

- right half page = preview of selected task

So when going over each (or a few) tasks in update-meetings (remote or onsite with a team), would be handy to have this view-option =>

- regular view "Classic" (as is today)

- "Task-preview" = half-page on the right (see screenshot below cfr. Task-details)

This is like going over issues/tickets in Jira in sprints where you have on the right-half-screen a preview of a selected issue/ticket which you can edit at same time (is same idea).

Could this be done in Zoho Projects too? (i guess lot of project-managers, team-managers and all Zoho Projects users would love this option).

If that could be done, this would give a lot of time-win for a lot of users who regularly update issues/tasks !

Best regards,

Yannic

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

What are the pre-requisites to manage my projects through Emails? You need to have a personal / business mail ID that is registered and confirmed with accounts.zoho.com To learn more
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.
