I am a marketing manager attempting to use Zoho Projects to keep track of content creation, design, website, and campaign projects. I'd like to understand the hierarchy of the following components:
- Project
- Task
- Subtask
- Issue
- Task list
- Milestone
For example, I need to create a "project" in Projects for an email campaign due to go out on 12/30/20. In the "project" I need to assign the following steps to various people on my team:
- Schedule meeting with experts
- Write an article from meeting notes
- Design flyer for article
- Publish the article on the website
- Design Email Campaign
- Design Social Banners about article
- Schedule Social Banners
- Schedule Email
What should the "project" be if I have tons of these campaigns on top of other marketing projects on a platform where other teams work? I was using a Task List for each "project" but it doesn't have a due date associated with it and I can't view it on the calendar. Then I started using Issues for each "project" because they show up on the calendar only by due date, but I can't view the tasks in each issue as a list (I have to go into each issue and click into the tasks).
Now with the milestones, I thought that could be a good thing to use for "projects" but I don't have a task list for that either.
Yes, I would use a Project for each of my "projects" except that I do need some overall organization (i.e. Marketing Campaigns vs. Corporate Requests vs Digital Marketing).
What do you all suggest? I wish I had the option to view tasks in the Calendar view by duration or I have no option to view it by due date, instead it shows the entire duration of the task.
