Subtasks and Gantt charts
I watched the video showing easy editing and changing of subtasks and dragging of gantt chart task items to change project timeframe, but couldn't do this in my own project. Is this a feature that is coming or am missing something? I also saw you can indent subtasks at will but also couldn't make this work. http://www.zoho.com/projects/gantt-charts-video.html

Task list exports not working in 4.0 Interface
I have successfully exported task lists in the 3.0 interface. Task list exports do not work in 4.0 interface. This plus what others have reported make me agree that a March 15th date to force Projects 4.0 interface is not good thing to do. You have too many bugs to work out in 4.0.
ZOHO projects integration in CRM
Dear all, we have integrated Zoho Projects in Zoho CRM; it's nice to open the project related to a specific accounts directly from CRM, but this seems the only possible integration. It's clear for us that's a one-to-one link (one contact --> one project) but: 1) It' s possible to create a task using a CRM module and found this task in the connected project? 2) What about the expenses and resourses management in a projects. Sorry by now if we misunderstand some functionality and thank in advance

Tip 3 : Efficient way to log time in timesheet
Efficient way to log time in timesheet is to click on the 'green clock' icon shown on mouseover each task assigned to you. Once the 'green clock' icon is clicked todo clock ticks. For each task, clock is running is denoted by icon next to task checkbox. Once the user completes the task, todo clock can be stopped by clicking 'red clock' icon shown on mouseover each task. (Note : red clock will be displayed only if the todo clock for the task is running). To stop todo clock click 'red clock' icon.
Projects List Page Blank
Went to go use Projects when I access the portal page it starts with the "Get started by creating your first Project", but when I enter in a Project Name and Project Overview and then click Add Project it flashes a message above the Project Name very quickly. I ended up having to to a video screen capture to see what the message was to view it and it states that "You have already created 1 active project(s) as per your Free plan!". I can't seem to find the active project so I'm currently stuck.
Tip of the Week: Task Reminder
A human mind is not so powerful to remember every instance of his/her life and of course forgetfulness is inevitable part of our souls. So we depend on various tools like friend/colleague/diary/machine to be our reminders. And that's why we implemented "Task Reminders", in Zoho Projects, in the month of July 2011 with three options - Daily, One day before the due date and On Due. Now, this feature has been enhanced to a level where the reminder can be set 30 days prior to the task's due date. "How

Error importing iCal feed to Google Calendar
We have an issue in properly linking iCal feed from Zoho Project to Google Calendar. A few of us including myself had a feed till recently but now it is not working.

I checked the archive of this forum and found that temporary solution is something to do is SSH setting but the actual temporary solution seems to be offered by e-mail outside the forum and I
Slowness
Is anyone else experiencing slowness in Project over the past 2 weeks (maybe longer)? Opening the site for the first time is taking a lot longer (30+ seconds). I am wondering if others are having issues or maybe just something with some of our projects or due to the activity we are doing. It seems to be opening the site for the first time from any link whether to a project, to the feed, to a specific ticket. Maybe an issue with slowness in the SSO from google apps?
Suggestions for Zoho Projects
[1] Fields for Statuses and Categorization of Projects, Tasks, etc. For example I might do a project and have various tasks which I want to categorize such as for example: Analysis, Development, etc, etc. The types MUST not be hardcoded since everyone has their own. This applies also to the project itself. I cannot categorize the type of project [2] Custom Fields for anything: Project itself, tasks, etc. I want to add person responsible in project, but also type of project, etc... Anything [3]
Pasting from Word into Wiki editor
Pasting lay-outed texts from MS Word to the Page Editor (former wiki editor) messes up the lay-out. We miss a 'format erase' button to undo any conflicting formats.
Projects Documentation Available?
I am interested in comparing my documentation on how to use my MS Project (Project 2007 Bible) to Zoho Project documentation that is available. I want to compare how the basic features work before I take the step of signing up for Zoho Project as a paid user. Can you tell me what documentation is available, online or otherwise, for users of Zoho Project and also how to access that? Thanks!

Excel found unreadable content in 'Global_Timesheet_.......
So i just finished implementing zoho projects in my company and we are trying to utilize the timesheets and we are getting this error when we go to open the exported timesheet in excel. "Excel found unreadable content in 'Global_Timesheet..... Do you want to recover the contents of this workbook". We can then go ahead and click yes to continue and then excel states that it has renamed invalid time sheet name. Any ideas?

Tip of the week: Upload file to a specific folder via e-mail
The E-Mail Collaboration feature helps users in uploading files via e-mail; however, into the "Discussions" folder only. Now, users can upload file(s) to the required folder directly rather than uploading to the discussions folder and then moving the file. Let's see how to upload files to the specific folder In the Documents section, click the folder name to which the file needs to be uploaded Copy the folder's unique e-mail id displayed below the list of options on the right hand side Send an e-mail

Need clarification on associating tasks with milestones
Before discovering milestone related tasks, I built out all tasks. If I enter milestones after creating tasks (under one tasklist), can I associate those tasks to a milestone? Must you associate a separate task list to each milestone? If you are going to use milestones, do you have to start there (create milestones first) to get tasks to associate to them? If you have to start with milestones to get tasks to associate to them, you should make documentation clearer; I can't find anything on this subject.
Setting Project Days and Report Colors
I have just started using Zoho Projects for the first time. I need to figure out two things before we can decide whether to continue using this product. 1. This particular project we are working on, would be developed only on certain days of the week, namely Mon, Tues and Friday. Is there anywhere in the options for the project/milestone where i can set the work days to be only certain days of the week since that would make scheduling people much easier and the reports would be more accurate? 2.
How do i add tasks into milestones?

Task Comments to a Select User/Member
Hi There, I am trying out the new Zoho projects interface and I see that when I add a comment to a task, I am not able to select an individual it just has the Add Comment button. Why was the feature to be able to select an individual person taken off. I like to make comments but I do not want my comment going to everyone at the moment only to the person responsible for the task not to all the members of the project.
Google Docs / Upload docs
I have been adding my google documents as a link in the links section, as if you 'upload' them, Zoho converts them to Zoho Writer. I cant see the point of creating a doc in Google docs, and then importing it, I would either use Zoho Writer, or Google Docs, not both. (And we love using Google Docs!) Can we not have the option of converting to Zoho Writer if we want to, or importing a link to the Google Doc? Be easier to manage. Thanks
