Today's Work Items?
Is there a way to configure the pagelets so I can see more in the box for Today's Work Items than the task name? I have several projects at the same time and the tasks don't include the project information or even the milestone?
High Level View of Projects
Does anyone know if I can export the Active Project list? It would be nice to export to an excel document. Can I add a main status to the Active Project list view? For instance: green, yellow or red How are other people using ZOHO to have a comprehensive view of all active projects and their status to report back to senior management?
I also need a report that can print out a complete milestone or task list or task
As others have mentioned, I also need to be able to create an editable document that prints out all tasks and subtasks for a tasklist or milestone. This document needs all the details for each task: dates, descriptions, assigned to, etc. It needs to be in an editable document so that I can add, remove and organize information. I need this because all the other reports are summaries or charts, graphs, etc. And, it is too hard to explain a project to stakeholders if we need to click around the
Task List within a Task List for task hierarchy

Is there a training video i can show portal users?

Client Zone
Hi: It would be great if I can navigate to a client and find all the related projects and files related to him. You see, one client can generate several projects. Some may use the same documents as a reference. Right now we have to upload duplicate documents for each project, since navigating to find the original is not easy (some projects might be archived and hidden). Just an idea. Un abrazo, Robby!

Setting Tasks as billable or non-billable.
There does not seem to be away to set a task item to billable or non-billable when the task is being created. I have figured out how to go in and change it in the log, but if you work on something at several different times, you don't want to go in and have to set each entry to non-billable. Perhaps I have missed it where you set this, and if I have, I would appreciate any help. Thanks, Steve wickwood

New UI - Dropdown Arrow Inconsistent
In the new UI, the dropdown arrow for any dropdown list does not work consistently. The user must click on the "text" in the dropdown field, rather than clicking on the arrow. I've tried this on a Mac OS 10.12.3, Safari and Chrome. The problem appears on both browsers all the time.

Project Templates, Task Templates and Milestones: Access for Project Managers
It would be super useful if project managers could create tasklist templates with milestones. As is stands, milestones can only be added to Project templates and those can only be created by admins. Would love the ability to add milestones to tasklist templates. If you agree, let your voice be heard!
Problem in adding task list through API

Linking Bugs to Project Tasks
Could you please tell me if there is a way to link bugs to project tasks? Or vice versa? What I would like to see is how many or which bugs are linked to which project tasks. Currently it seems bugs can be linked to a milestone but not task list or task. Please help?

Admin User Denied Access to Only Portions of a Project
I have an admin user who cannot access the documents portion of only one project. It is telling her that she is not authorized to access that section. She can also not upload any documents to tasks. It is really weird, because there are no issues with any other projects, just one. Thoughts on how we can troubleshoot? Thanks!
Chart Colors
Is there a way to change the task colors in a chart? For e.g., if a task was supposed to be completed on 3/10/17, but was completed on 3/15/17, can the actual time be shown in red color? However, if the task was completed in the duration assigned, then it can remain in green or blue color.
Roles
What're the permissions that each role (Employee, Manager, Admin) has currently? It appears that only admin's can archive projects, what else are they able to do that managers and employees cannot do? Thanks,
Question on global reports, milestone gantt
Hi all, I have a question regarding the "global reports" section. In our setup we have many projects running, and when our CEO looks to the global reports section, using the milestone gantt, and filters for "task owner" or something else, what he reaches is a view in which all the milestones are present, not only the ones that have a "visible" task. I think that this could be an user's choice, to decide to have those milestones visible or not, but I cannot find a way to do so. Is there a way to filter

Custom reporing
Greetings. I am evaluating Zoho projects and I've paid for enterprise edition for this month in order to have full access to all features.

Resource Utilization - alignment problem?
Hi all, I don't understand if this is a problem of mine or not, but the Resource Utilization page looks misaligned. That is evident when you click on the user in the first column, to open her/his tasks. Please give a look to the attached screenshot: at the right of the "Travelport" task there is nothing, the corresponding row is aligned with the following row, "Test con Mirko Canella". And so on. This misalignment brings confusion, is this something you can correct easily thru CSS? Or maybe is something
