I take this opportunity to wish you a happy new year and inform you about the launch of the Subtasks feature, the most requested one, in Zoho Projects. A perfect beginning for the year 2012, Isn't it.
Subtasks are a convenient way to organize projects and tasks that have multiple steps. Let us see how the Subtasks feature has improved the project management in Zoho Projects.
Import MS Project file
When a MS Project file is imported into Zoho Projects, the task & subtasks structure were not maintained. Henceforth, the structure available in the MS Project file will be maintained as such.
Create Subtasks at any level
So far you would have managed your projects with the help of Milestones, Task Lists and Tasks. Right from this day you can manage your projects better by having any level of subtasks.
Making an existing task as a subtask: When you mouse-over the task name, you will find the
Indent arrow to the left of the task name. When clicked, the existing task will be converted as a subtask for the task just above it.
Adding a subtask: When you mouse-over the task name, an
Action button will be displayed at the extreme left of the task name. You can click this button and select the
Add Subtask option from the list.
Gantt Chart & Dependency View
You can see the tasks along with its subtasks on the Gantt chart and Dependency View. The parent/summary task is indicated using a blue color bar; whereas the subtasks are indicated with a yellow color bar in the Gantt Chart.
Note: Subtasks will be displayed in the Gantt Chart & Dependency View only when the immediate parent/summary task has a start & end date.
Project & Task Templates
You can capture the subtasks in the project and task template.
So how do you get started ? Here’s the link to
Subtasks and of course a short video
The Sub-Task feature is available in the Premium and Enterprise package. It's available for the existing Value Pack3 customers too.
Your feedback is much appreciated as they have helped us to carry the product to this level!
"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks arise
Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestones
We write mails to communicate. In Zoho Projects, we can write mails to collaborate. Yes, Zoho Projects supports Email based project management.

Zoho Projects now generates a unique number for each project, task, and issue added. The auto-generated ID is a combination of a prefix and a number which is assigned by Zoho Projects.

Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.

I have an ecommerce store with Shopify. I recently set up my email to be served through Zoho. Since doing this, customers are not receiving some of our automated emails from Shopify itself.

Very often I speak to a customer and they say they didn't see my email (maybe it went in Junk, maybe they deleted it). Anyway, I just want to go into the Campaign and send it to one person. You already have a feature very close to this - when sending a Test. While developing a campaign, I can send tests to anyone. Why can't we have this AFTER the campaign has been sent? I know, there's a caveat, and that's in the use of merge tags. Most of the time I only use FNAME, but maybe you could check if
