Zoho Projects API - set planned work hours not working
Hi, I'm developing a web app to help us create tasks quickly. I'm able to create tasks and set most of the parameters, but when I try to set the 'owner_work' parameter for planned work, it never seems to work. I've tried sending the POST requests via both Python and PHP, neither of which seems to work. Here is a key section of my PHP code for reference: $request_params = array('authtoken' => $AUTHTOKEN, 'name' => $task_name, 'duration' => $task_duration, 'owner_work' => [['user_id' => '646282401',Problem with uploading document(s) on Zoho Projects
Team, We aren't able to upload document(s) to any of the projects. Would appreciate a quick resolution!Global reports example
Hi, we are considering to upgrade our plan to get the chance to use Global reports. Is it possible to have a preview of a global report? Can I have an overview of all the users and their time schedule as per the "Resource Utilization" report? ThanksHow to get employee details(Owner) from project API
Hi, We are using the Project API to get the time logs for all the employee in our company, when the data is returned it gives owner_id and owner name and all the other stuffs about their project. is there any way we could pull email address for all the employee. ThanksViewing hours remaining on timesheet
Hello, We have been using Zoho Projects for about 9 months now. Overall we like it but one thing that is getting very frustrated for us is around the timesheets. The scenario is a person is logging hours against a task that has a set task budget. In the timesheet you can log hours, but you do not see what are the actual hours remaining in the task hour budget on the screen. This often causes people to log against a task that has no more hours, or the project team not having a good discussion aroundDeleted Milestone
Hi! I've deleted a milestone and I want to know if there is a way to come back with it, because I've lost all my tasks. Can you help me? Thanks!Move multiple tasks
Hi! If I have a set of tasks, A, B and C, with dependencies so that they follow each others (B after A, C after B) with no slack in between, and all are, for example, five days long each, I can easily extend task A to e.g. ten days which causes task B and C to each move five days into the future. However, If I were to shorten task A to only two days, task B and C would not move. The only way I have found to do this is by individually move first B and then task C (moving only task C is not allowedDownload Bug List
Hello, Maybe I'm just not seeing it but is there a way to download the bugs you have entered? I need to put everything on excel for management and would rather not re-key into an excel doc. I have the free one project access for zoho projects. Thank you, RobertLate tasks and milestones on the dashboard?
Is possible to see the late tasks and late milestones on the dashboard, specifically at the Task Status and Milestones Status graphics? On my dashbaord I can only see the tasks open and completed. I would like to see the late tasks on the same pie chart. Is it possible?member of CRM plus, one of my user started a zoho project account, now i wanna invite him in our project
Does he have to delete his project account? how can he do that? can i re-invite him again?Suggestions for improving Projects
1. Ability to set non-working days, example: weekends and national holidays. 2. Assign tasks to a user who doesn't have Zoho, just for tracking purposes. 3. Include field mapping for predecessors with task import function. 4. Option to display task name instead of Assigned to in Gantt chart. 5. More options to customize views, particularly Kanban.Tasks not grouping with task list upon import
I am trying to import using xls or csv. When I do, each task is created in its own task list. There is no grouping of tasks when imported. I have attached a screenshots of the sample data and the import results.Move Task | Is only showing milestones not task lists
When using the Move feature on a task, the available Task lists in the display are actually milestones, not task lists. As such, I cannot select another Task List. It will only allow me to move to a Milestone.Backdating Task Completion Date
Hello, I have uploaded a project which was started 6 months ago, when we didn't have Zoho yet, but a lot of the tasks were completed. When I mark the task as completed, it puts it as completed today's date only. Is there a way to backdate a completion date to coincide with the actual date it was completed? Thanks AlexDownload Bug Attachment with Rest Api
If I get a bug attachment url, how do I download that file using the rest api? There doesn't seem to be any documentation about the url to download an attachment, or what the rate limits are for attachment downloads. For example, if I have the url "https://projects.zoho.com/portal/xxx/openAttachment/download?file=xxx" how do I download it from my API with just an access token? If I append my access token parameter to that url query string I get an error.Remove Requirement to Add Client Users Via email
Hello, We don't want to send an email to client users and have them involved in our Project Portal. Is there anyway to assign tasks without adding the person as a user? We'd rather have a free text field to put their name.Zapier for Projects
I have just received word that Books will soon become available on Zapier - which is fantastic news! Can you put Projects as the next item on your list? So much of what we do is based on tasks, timetracking, and using external tools to execute our work. Being able to integrate 3rd party tools with multi-step Zaps would make Zoho Projects and absolute no-brainer for everyone! ThanksGetting all time for a month by project/tasklist/task
Hi, Using the dotnet wrappers I can obtain a totals per user for time spent on a project. I cannot break this down to specific tasks the user has logged time against. How is this possible? Eg. If I do the following: Dim timelogs As zohoprojects.model.Timelogs = TIMEAPI.GetTimeLogs(proj_id, logParams) I only get the timelogs.grandtotal populated. The timelogs.tasklogs are never populated. Also the timelogs.timelog.date is always empty/null. Thanks DuncanGoogle Drive Sync
Hello, Are there plans to offer Google Drive sync in Zoho Projects? Attaching documents from Google Drive isn't particularly useful - it would be better attach a link to files as they're live, working documents or folders. Thank you, CharlotteInstalling Zoho Projects in company server.
Hi, I just would like to ask if it is possible to install Zoho Projects on our company server in order to ensure we keep our information internally. Thanks in advance for your helpUsers and privacy
Hello, when it will be possibile to assign a task just to one user with privacy? Not if i add two user as a customer both can see the same task, that's not good! Thanks for your support. FrancoBackup restore
Hi Zoho Projects, Currently we're making a backup of all the projects every 1 or 2 days using your backup service. We download the xml file, store it at our cloud server and begin to wonder: If someday we'll need to use it to restore the projects, how can/should we do it? Because on the "impoprt" page, there's no option to let us use the backup xml file, and till today, I still haven't found a "restore" option. Does this means that once the worst thing happens, we'll have to find a xml reader, extractTip #20: Edit User Rates While Generating Invoice
Hey! Have a quick look at how you can edit the user rates instantaneously while you generate an invoice. The user rate that you modify here will be applicable only for that specific invoice and if you would like to update it permanently, refer this help guide . If you had missed our community discussion about staff based billing, please do check this link and give a read. Thanks, Kiruthika.Tip #19: Filter projects based on criteria
In Zoho Projects, you can filter your projects based on groups, owners, clients, and custom fields. Why? The inbuilt filter will help you quickly access the projects that you are looking for. Based on the selected criteria, the projects are listed in your filter results. You can select the relevant project and access it. How? Navigate to Projects. Select any one of the views ( View by Group, View by Client, View by Owner ) in Active Projects. Click the Filter icon in the upper-right corner. SelectChanging a project follower into a project user
I have a project which a portal user was following. Now the situation has changed where this user needs to be a actual project team member. However, if I try to add this user it gives me an error saying - (User already added as Follower to this project). Is the only way to fix this for the user to unfollow and then get added as a project user? Or is there a simpler way (without the project manager having to ask the user to unfollow first) for this to be done? Thanks, MennoFixed Bid Invoicing
Sometimes software projects are negotiated as fixed bids, meaning the actual hours logged are not relevant for invoicing purposes. Under this scenario, you bill your client in installments (not hours), normally linked to milestones or dates. It'd be really helpful you could add the following improvements: -Add a new billing method to projects that could be called: "Fixed Bid" or "Based on a Fixed Amount" -When creating an invoice for a project that has that billing method, the form would require"On Hold" Status will be good to introduce in tracking Milestones & Tasks.
Dear Project Team, It would be good, if we introduce "On Hold" status for Milestones & Tasks. Sometimes tasks or milestones will be put on hold, but that doesn't mean it is due for delivery so and so date. Please let me know for any clarification. Thanks & Regards, AnandCan not create client user by xxxx@watchara.top
I already try @gmail.com, it's work fine. But if I use @watchara.top, it doesn't work.Hey quick fix :-)

Thanks Josh KClient User access
As a test case I've added a client user to one of our testing projects to see what the access level is and what it would look like for them. They get access to the forums - which is nice. Though a way to make some of the discussions internal or external (like with the milestones would be great). Sometimes you want to discuss things that the client doesn't necessarily needs to see. However, even after making the milestones we had (or at least some of them) external, and even creating a new externallyNaming Projects
Is there a way to automatically name projects when creating them? So using a specific naming convention like a portion of customer name and number, for example - customer is John Doe and project #1 - so project name is JDOE1 or something similar. Earl Rudolfo The Storytelling BeanCounterFeature request: save more than one filter
Hello everybody. The filter section that can be used in different places is useful, but it could be much more useful if the user could save more than one filter. For example, when the user clicks "save flter" the page could ask for a filter name, and a "saved filters list" could appear somewhere in that section allowing to apply in a single click different conditions. I understand that there could be a problem with the filter values, that can change over time, but still I think that this functionCan you have multiple project portals? If so, how?
I have seen several references to having multiple project portals. Desk offers a feature called "multi-branding" which allows support for multiple brands to be handled by a single overall account. How can I create additional portals for Zoho projects? This came up when my client wanted to do a test import from Basecamp into a "dummy" Zoho projects portal.Enterprise Trial
I would like to get an Enterprise trial established; how do I go about this?Any plans to integrate Zoho project with Zoho people and Zoho CRM
I would be nice to be able to pull up a list of names from Zoho people when adding staff to a project and Zoho CRM when adding customers. Similarly, it would be nice to be able to see what projects have been done for a particular company from Zoho CRM and what projects an employee has worked on from within Zoho People without having to manually enter that info. Zoho has a number of great products, but one area of improvement is that it needs to more seamlessly integrate the different products.Ignore weekend days?
Hi, Zoho is by far the best webbased project management tool i've used! I do have a question: Is it possible to configure the tasks not to count weekends? Say i enter a task that takes 4 days that starts on a thursday, it should end the following wednesday. Not the following sunday. Right? thanks, Fred Fredrik BjörkSearch Project by Custom Criteria
Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to "Tag" Projects or create custom criteria so I can filter Projects in the Project list by certain criteria. For example, if I need an overview of Projects by Country, by Project type, by client...? Thanks AlexAssociate One Bug with Multiple Tickets
Is it possible to associate one bug with multiple tickets so users can quickly access the same bug from within different tickets and track said statuses?Improved Search using Limiter Buttons/Terms for Bug Tracker
It would be really nice if it were possible to perform searches for a specific string of text but limit it using a variety of buttons and search terms that constrain the search similar to other search tools or JIRA's JQL. Right now, the BugTracker search has only limited usefulness in that it will return ALL items containing certain terms even if those have been closed. For example, let's say a user is wanting to search for a bug that was closed a few months back. With search limiters, he could enterWhat are some recommended adoption strategies that could be rolled out to internal dev team/external clients?
Quick Adoption by these groups are a must: a.) Maybe a helpful component would be to set up a test project and assigning a certain number of tasks for the team to do? Learn by doing b.) YouTube Videos? (for standard knowledge) Learn by watching c.) Documented roll out plan?Next Page

The limits are restricted to 24 hours per day and 168 hours per week by default based on business hours.

I believe that sorting of tasks helps managing the activities in a better fashion. You might second it too . By default, the tasks are listed chronologically. However, you can sort the tasks either by its title, start date, end date, priority, created by and percentage completion. All you have to do is, click the Task Sorting option and select the required criteria. Few points to be noted about task sorting: This option is available in the Classic View only (within My Tasks, Tasks & Milestones section).Rename Task Module To Suit Your Project
