When Will Zoho Support Weekend/Holiday Exclusion and True Resource Utilization Features?
Hey there Zoho team, I am in the trial phase and have started using your platform for about 4 hours so far on the free trial period. I'm very experienced in project management software in my professional life. Our family is looking for a consumer/small business level product we can use for complicated projects we do - like remodeling, landscaping, family office project and other types of projects. Our needs don't require expensive highly sophisticated project planning features so I searched for
Tip 41: Global Planned Vs Actual reports in Zoho Projects
The Global Reports helps you big time when you want to assess the progress or if you want information about tasks across all projects. Global Planned Vs Actual is one such report with which you can find the time spent for tasks. To view this report, navigate to Global Reports widget in Zoho Projects Home page. Global Planned Vs Actual report provides the task work hour details of the individual user by distinguishing the work hours planned for the tasks versus the work hours actually spent on the
Tip 47: View dependent tasks and dependency status
Projects can have multiple tasks that need to be carried out in sequence. This results in task dependency, for example an invoice can be sent only if the quote is ready. Therefore, the predecessor task must complete in order for the successor to begin. To take early and proactive action, you should be able to view the dependent tasks. In Zoho Projects, you can see the dependency status in the task details page. You can hover over the status and view all the dependent tasks. Clicking on the individual

Tip 48: Importing subtasks and setting dependencies in XLS, CSV, and JSON files
Importing files from one platform to another is a tedious job and it is necessary to maintain the structure of the modules. You can import XLS/ JSON/ CSV files into Zoho Projects. While importing a XLS/CSV/JSON files, you can now import subtasks and also set dependency between the tasks in the import file. Import Subtasks: Consider a scenario where a project owner has to import a csv file with two tasks "Roof (T8)" and "Setting & Curing (T6)". While importing the file, he must enter the PARENT TASK
Enhancements to the Timer
When using the timer I see a couple of improvements that could be helpful for all users: The ability to pause / resume so you don't have lots of entries when taking breaks or alternating between tasks/projects; for example. When fully stopped, the app shows the time log entry window to give the user the ability to enter comments and store them along with the time log entry. That way the user doesn't have to edit the log to add actual comments about the work done.
Timer Pause during Computer Inactivity
I have worked with other project timers that actually paused or stopped if the computer was inactive for a set amount of time (like paused after 10 minutes and then stopped after 30 minutes) and that was my favorite feature. The problem with the Project Timer now is it is easy to forget (making a desktop widget like others have suggested is a good way to keep it in ones visual area) and my team often has to come back in the next morning to stop it and try to change the times. The problem is, if its

Restricting permission levels and viewing rights of employees, contractors and clients
Hello I have heard that you cannot restrict the access rights for different types of users. For example if you want to restrict lower level employees seeing different content of a project. Or if client has access, they see EVERYTHING. We are thinking of changing to Zoho CRM and Zoho Projects, however we need to control some level of information. Could someone please confirm if this is possible? Also, can restrictions be placed on who see invoicing and payments? Hope to gain some feedback to help

Is a new gmail add-on coming??
It appears the ability to add a new task, bug etc. from right within gmail is gone with the new gmail. I am surprised not to see a bunch of posts in this forum asking when you will be releasing a new gmail add-on that works with Googles new gmail integration for addons. Being able to quickly add tasks and so on from gmail is one of Zoho's many strong features, I hope not to lose it. Yes I know you can email to a project but that is much different. Thank You
Hyperlink of the Predecessor and succesor Tasks
Hello, I have a suggestion which i think is very easy for your team to make it happen. When you look to a blocked task by a predecessor task or you look to the predecessor task what is next you have to copy-paste the title of the task to zoho projects search all modules tool to find them. You can make it a hyperlink to the task so we can find it with just a click. See image bellow I think that is something minor that makes the difference for advanced users thanks

4.0 - Default Feed to 'Activity Stream' instead of 'Feed'
Hi: Right now you can click Home (actually your logo as Home is not clickable) which defaults to Feed on the left menu. Then if you want 'Activity Stream' (which IMHO is better than the Feed as it shows all actions but nevertheless) you click the 'gear icon' to switch it. My question is if 'Activity Stream' can be set as default when clicking your logo and going to Home. I have searched this forum and help and cannot find a solution. Any help is appreciated.
UI issue in Zoho Projects - Upward arrow for expanding the "Add Description" content

Saving filters of projects
Hi! We are managing over 600 projects at the same time (+ we have 500 archived projects) and we have grouped them in almost 15 groups (1-4 groups per department). We have noticed big performance issues after exceeding 150 projects! Apart from that users complain that they have to filter projects every time they open a list of projects (in most cases each department would like to see only their projects -> maybe 100 projects instead of 600). Believe it's very frustrating... Could you consider improving

Work Hours auto-population and validation
I am setting up the work hours functionality and i have one question and one suggestion. I can not set as mandatory the field and i can not do it not even in the blueprint. Is there any way to validate this field or is something out of standard fields? i checked a workaround via a custom field formula saying if work hours < 0.01 return 'work field is empty'. I would then take the value and use it for validation in my blueprint but this solution hit a wall on the auto-population from Duration hours

Blueprint in Zoho Projects
Often, we stumble upon tasks having the same status workflow. Repetitive task processes are tedious to handle, right? That’s why we have introduced Blueprint for task automation. Blueprint is a tool to organize tasks and automate them based on the workflow you design and the criteria you define. How do I associate tasks with a blueprint? You can set the criteria while creating the blueprint such that when you publish a blueprint, the tasks that satisfy the criteria will be associated with the
Files Organization and Management
I'm finding that managing files is difficult in Zoho Projects. There isn't 1 central "bucket" where all files live and can be referenced if they are uploaded inside a task or forum conversation. Has anyone found a great way to manage all files for a project without having to search through forums and tasks to find them? I think this is one area that could be greatly improved, but, maybe I'm approaching it the wrong way. Maybe I should be using a third-party such as Dropbox or Google Apps to manage
Relative Task Dates

We require to be able to relatively define the task dates, task start dates, reminder dates etc.
