How can I show the Budget Status widget for a client user?
I have a project which a client user is assigned and has access to view. As an admin, manager myself I can see the Budget Status widget on my dashboard. How do I show this on my client user's dashboard? We effectively have a retainer client, say with a set number of hours per month so it's really important for them to see how many hours they are using on a project. Kind regards Greg

Time-logging feature has some issues.
My company recently shifted to ZOHO Projects this month. Previously our employees had been using ZOHO People to log their time. Now in ZOHO projects when I log my time, the following issues are arising: 1. Most of the times the projects for which I have to log time don't appear in the dropdown menu while logging time. This has been happening repeatedly. I am the Project Manager for many projects that I have created myself, but whenever I am about to log my weekly timesheet, not even a single project

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.

Placing Project on Hold and Extending Due Date
Please let me know if there is a way to have projects due date extend automatically if it is placed on hold. We would need due date extend by the same amount of days as the item is on hold. Summary Project allowance 14 days, hold 10 days, due date automatically extended by 10 days (due to the hold).

Wouldn't it be better to make the 'task' a 'sum of subtasks'
Perhaps I have the wrong idea on tasks an subtasks, but shouldn't the task be a sum of subtaks. For instance: Clean the office (task) Clean windows (subtask) Clean tables (subtask) Clean coffee machine (subtask) Currently when I add the task 'clean the office' and state that this takes 'one day' and add the subtasks with durations that equal 2, 4 and 2 hours respectively. Now when I check the Gantt Chart or the Resource Utilization I see that I'm over-planned because I'm responsible for the
