Backdated task completion date
Hello, Maybe I could not find the proper way to do it, but when entering tasks that took place in the past for an ongoing project, the system automatically assigned the current date when they were marked complete. Isn't there a way to enter the actual end date if it was in the past? Thank you

Viewing my team's open and overdue tasks across different projects
I manage a small team who all work across a number of different projects. I'd like to be able to see any overdue tasks and tasks that over coming up this week for all of the users in my team, not just my own open tasks. Currently I am having to go into each project (of which there are currently 17...) to see what is coming up and what is yet to be completed. Is this something that can be on my dashboard?
Recurring subtasks associated with Recurring Task
Hi, I am trying to set up daily opening procedures for my company. Each day, I would like my employees to perform a series of tasks and subtasks. For example, I would like them to perform the following: 1. in lighting, I would like them to switch on: a) cellar room lights b) tasting room lights c) hallway lights I have successfully created the tasks and subtasks. However, I can only make the task recurring. The subtasks do not remain associated with the task when the recurring task is created.
Sorting in bug Tracker
Is there a way to set a sort order on the main bug screen. I'd love for my guys to see: 1 just their tickets. 2 order those tickets by severity 3 order those tickets by status Or something along those lines. Currently I have added a priority field (1-25) so they have an idea what situations need the most attention once assigned.
Common Communication location
HI all, for our office we usually have 3/4 different users interact with any given project/task. I really like the fact we can CC an email to have it go into the comments. But when you close the task, you end up 'losing' visibility to that communication. Other than creating a task {common comms} where we would use to 'dump' email communications in there, how do you manage this type of communication? Thanks

bulk edit tasks, pin task lists, default column sort
hi, 1. it takes too long to bulk edit tasks when you are trying to change multiple options on all. Would be much better if we can choose all the options we want to change, and then hit save. 2. please allow us to PIN certain task lists so they never close. Right now i have to create dummy tasks called .DO NOT DELETE so those task lists never close. 3. Please allow us to set the default columns to show on all projects via the project template. The order of the columns, and which columns show and
TASK CSV Export - please add URL as a field
please add the task url as an exportable field in the CSV Export. We are trying to automate printed labels for each task from a brother printer. we want one of the fields to be a QR code that brings us right to the task. I tested this with the task URL and it works perfectly, we just need it exposed in the CSV file. Hopefully this isnt hard to do and you can reveal it quickly?
In free version, how can I reorder the tasks in the Chronology Gantt Chart view?
I'm using the free version of Zoho Projects, and I would love to re-arrange the order of tasks in the Gantt Chart. Currently, the default is by percent completion, but I'd prefer them ordered by TaskList, so that groups of tasks are more meaningfully clustered. I don't see an obvious way to do this. Is this possible in the free version, and if so, how? Thanks!
Recurring tasks and budget hours - "planned hours" within Budget Status do not include recurrences
eg. Task = 20hrs Recurrence = 10 x weekly My understanding is that "planned hours" for this should be 20hrs x 10 = 200hrs. Is this correct understanding? Currently when I plan projects this does not happen. The "recurring" symbol shows beside the task and the details are correct....however only 20 hours are applied to the "planned hours" - the recurrences are not counted. Is there something I might be doing wrong?

Auto Refresh - Project View
We have a team of 10 within a website development agency, that migrated from ASANA to ZOHO. One of the issues that we are experiencing is that the assigned tasks do not auto refresh for our developers specifically, so unless they refresh their display frequently they might miss a task that might be of high priority. I have spoken to ZOHO and they have stated that the tasks should refresh automatically...any feedback?

Sort order of Tasks
We would like our tasks to appear in order of when they need to be completed. I suppose this is roughly by due date, except that we are not using dates, our template is purely dependencies, since all tasks are fairly short. Our ideal target state is that any tasks now due (predecessor tasks all complete) show up at the top in kanban view, which is mainly where we work from. When we move it over to "closed," then any successor tasks now move up to the top. Alternatively, can we display only tasks
How do I sort "My Tasks" by Date?
In the older version of Zoho Projects (before the new design in January), I was able to see all of My Tasks sorted by Due Date. How do I do this in the new design? This seems like basic functionality and has become an issue for several in my company.

How do I make department groups rather than project groups?
Is there a way to create department groups in Projects? Example: We have 3 designers on staff. For design tasks, I have to assign design tasks to all 3 individually. It would be nice if I could group these 3 users together and call the group design. I think it is possible in the CRM, but the designers do not have access to the CRM.

Sales Orders in Finance Section - When?
The inclusion of Sales Orders in Projects in Zoho Books was huge. When can we expect to see them in the Zoho Projects integration with Books? We need a selection called "Sales Orders" just like there is for Estimates and Invoices. Adding project Purchase Orders and Bills would also be extremely useful, but Sales Orders is a must. Thank You
'Created by' field
Hi. We need to make some analytics with data how many projects did each user create but I can't find a field with this information in Analytics, Projects nor CRM. There is a column named "Created Time" but there is not a "Created By" column. I am aware that there is a "Owner" field but in most cases we update it on later stages of project implementation so we won't find there information who has created that specific project. Thanks in advance!
How to divide a single task into several different days?
How to divide a single task into several different days? Let me explain, John has a 24-hour task. I schedule it for him Monday through Thursday. He has another task from another project at 8am on Tuesday that I can't move. Currently, in order to have a fair resource management, I divide the 24h task into 3 tasks of 8 hours that I place Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. This becomes complicated to manage with about 20 divided tasks that I have to shift continuously. Do you have a solution? Thank you
Custom Field - cannot edit a dropdown field item
We have a custom field within the project template (Dropdown) that is for the Dealer related to this project. I thought in the past if we needed to update a name of one of the items added to the dropdown list we could edit them, so I am not sure if this is a recent change or not. But is there a way to update an item that is already in the drop down field list? This is a required field, and I do not want to remove this item and add the updated name as that will seriously mess up our reporting, but

Better email features to send clients information: Automatically triggered (on task, milestone or other blueprint), rich text templates, with dynamically inserted information #clientfirstname etc.
I want to be able to send emails to our client users that have more information than a standard task or milestone completed. I.e. When a task (or milestone) is completed we should be able to trigger rich text emails that we can template ourselves. Templates with links to forms, reports, bookings, requests for information etc. Just as in CRM where you can trigger templated emails with blueprints when certain triggers (like completing a task) take place, we should be able to trigger templated emails

Hola a todos! Soy nueva en zoho projects y tengo una duda que no puedo resolver, estoy dando seguimiento a un proyecto, pero como en cualquier proyecto, las fechas de inicio y fin "REALES" para una tarea muchas veces son distintas a las planeadas. En zoho projects puedo ver que ya viene la fecha de término real de una tarea pero no la de inicio real, por lo que agregué un campo fecha dentro de mi plantilla de tareas.
