Is there a way for me to add a custom field to tasks? Can I pay you to do that for my account?

Added "Assigned To" Under Dashboard >> My Tasks

No comments
I would like to see under the Dashboard >> My Task the person(s) that are assigned to the task.

I realize that I will be one of the assigned because I'm looking at My Tasks but would also like to see if any other person is also on that task.

This should be in all three views of Group tasks by under My Tasks.

Billable

1 comment
I'd like a way to indicate a task or milestone as billable. The value for me would be to report time by client by project for billable tasks (vs. non-billable tasks)

Expense

No comments
I'd like to be able to add a fixed expense to a project. Much like a time entry, except not attached to a person.

I could enter the expense now as a time entry at a certain rate, but then it would tally it as time under my name, which would be inaccurate.

I have attached a screenshot of how this might work from another PM program (teamworkpm.net).

Dependent

1 comment
Some tasks can't be started/completed without prior tasks being completed. It would be helpful to be able to set task dependencies.

Project Tracking

No comments
Wondering if you are any closer to adding functionality to assign tracking numbers to new projects?

If you look at our system you'll see that we are manually adding project numbers.

Sure would help.

Happy Holidays.

Automation

No comments
Having the ability to create actions by triggers. Triggers could be from some type of an action done withing teamworks. Example: When a task is completed then it could trigger an email that can be sent to any email address. That is a great starter and it would help a lot of people. Awesome for CRM integration.

Retain folder structure when browsing Google docs

1 comment
The feature name basically covers it...
When linking to a Google doc it would be helpful, in addition to implementing the document type filters, if the documents were displayed in the folder structure from the Google docs site.

Even better... the ability to associate a project or task with a specific Google docs folder and keep that folder synced with TeamWorkLive.

Or at least make a specific folder the default root folder for a project/task so you only see the folders and files in that folder when browsing.

Ability To Make Milestone Task Time Entries Required or Optional

1 comment
We have situations were some project milestones have a set budget of hours for all the associated tasks under that project milestone.


Feature Request:
If a project milestone has "budgeted hours" set, we would like to require at least 1 "time entry" for each related milestone task before it is flagged as "completed".


This feature will allow us to collect better time entry data from our team and help us produce better time related reports for each project. Without having to nag our team to go back and enter how much time they spent doing x task for a milestone.


Is this possible?

Thanks,
SM

Project Status

Is there a way, or can there be a way in the future to add more project status options - i.e. I'd love a status that was called "billing" and various others to better track the progress/status of our projects.

Web Conferencing

No comments
Hi TWL!

Please add a web conferencing feature to TWL as it would be super convenient to be able to collaborate in real time.

With the web conferencing feature have a whiteboard, file share, etc. similar to Adobe Connect Now.

Thanks in advance!

Re-assign task when commenting

No comments
I would like the ability to re-assign the Responsible Person on a task when submitting a comment.

Often, someone will be assigned a task and when they finish their part they need to assign it to someone else for follow up work. Instead of posting comment then having to edit the task to change the assignment, would be great to be able to check/uncheck responsible person like you can with email notifications.

Thanks for your consideration of this feature.

turn off comments?

No comments
Hi!

Comments on Tasks get lost as they don't show in the messages stream. Clients respond via email and often times, I don't know the comment is there!!! If they were to message, at least it would show in the messages stream. Is there any way to set email responses to Messages or, if not, to turn off comments on my projects from this point forward?

Futher permission levels

No comments
Hi guys - first of all, very much appreciate the support level / response time that the Teamwork team provide.

We would love to see another permission level added in to the system so that we can have team members, clients and contractors involved in our online space.

Currently we have to use another platform to collaborate with our contractors so we can control the project information they are privy to.

It would be awesome if we had just the one more level so we can hide / show project information / messages / calendar / folders to our external contractors.

If you're a Teamwork user and reading this - please vote for this feature!!!

Thanks again

Milestone Date Modification

2 comments
Unsure if this feature exists.

It would be cool to have the system ask to change the task dates when the milestone due date is changed.

Scenario:
An existing milestone due date gets changed to two days later. A pop up window asking which tasks should have their due dates modified to two days later.

Project Type, Flag, or Company Department

No comments
We are a software company using project management in multiple departments: Implementation, Training, Data Conversion. We would love to be able to tag our projects with a type, flag, or department. This way we could filter screens by project type so I could just look at our company's training projects or Implementation projects.

It's getting difficult to report now that multiple departments are using the program. If we could tag or have project types, we could also use this for bug tracking but wouldn't be able to without the ability to filter out other project types in the screens and reporting.

Permission levels on folder items

1 comment
When you create a message, you are able to select the individual recipients. To apply the same logic to files in the folder section would be great. EG. To be able to upload a file and "check" people from the project that are able to view the file.

ICS Feed

1 comment
Hi,

We are loving TWL - much better than alything else out there, but there is an issue I would like to resolve.

Does anyone know if the ICS feed is 2 way? Ideally if this is published to ICal on my mac (or Outlook on Win) it would be good to be able to tick the Tasks and Milestones as being complete.

Trying to get a work around for iphones - which works with Appigo products nicely for tasks, but can't get the core issue resolved of writing back to TWL?

Also any news on the iphone app?

Many thanks

More/Less link for task

2 comments
I was wondering if it would be possible to give the option in the body of a task to add a "more" link so that if there is a large amount of text in the task itself you can have it display only part of the text.  It could be like a blog, where it only shows the first paragraph (or whatever the author wants to show) of the blog article but has a "read more" link to the page where you can view the blog article in its entirety. The comments would be displayed in both views (as easier access to the comments is one of the primary reasons I suggest the more link.)

The other alternative is have some sort of Javascript powered "more" link that dynamically displayed the full text of the task when you hit more, pushing all of the content below the "more" link down the page to accomadate the full text of the article.

Would be happy to clarify any points that were not clear...Thanks!

RSS feed is not updating Cgal

1 comment

1. When I change a task date, it changes on my TWL calendar, but that change does not reflect on my Gcal calendar. Makes it hard to plan the day.

2. It would be fantastic if the Gcal location, based on RSS feed, could be a link to the actual task.

3. If you edit a re-ocurring task, it should give you an option to edit only that one, not the whole series.

Time Report sort by date

3 comments
Unfortunately, right the time report cannot sort by date (you can filter out a date range, but not sort). It is only sorting project and milestone. I prefer to look at the report and see in chronological order the tasks that have been completed. Hoping this is fixed asap. Thanks.

Task and Milestones view showing that a task has messages linked to it

2 comments
HI guys, unless I've missed it I can't find any way in either the expanded Milestones view or the Task view of identifying whether a task has messages linked to it and, if so, of clicking through to them. Is this correct? If so it makes it very cumbersome indeed to check whether or not there is a message stream associated with a task as one has to switch to Task view.
Thanks

Task Dependency

No comments
Often times a task is dependent on another task being done.

AKA, truck inventory must be completed before the global inventory reorder can be completed. Also, the two tasks could be assigned to different parties.

The best process would be able to select if a task (when creating/editing) is dependent on another task (could be in a different milestone, project, or assigned to another user). This task could be opened and viewed, but not completed (checked off) until the primary task is due.  This will create and automated workflow that enables managers to create pyramid project planning.

Overdue Alerts

Overdue Alerts

-There is no way I can find to send an alert (manually or automatically) to one or all users that have multiple overdue tasks that either "require your approval" and/or  "assigned by you"

-There is no preference a user can select to get alerted one time or continuously that task(s) are overdue

Milestone Templates

2 comments
Same request as "Laisan Shafikov".

I would like to create pre-defined templates for re-use.
Milestone + predefined tasks and subtasks.

At this time, I have to duplicate an existing project and update it accordingly. This does the trick but it would be nice to have templates
as it would make it faster to set up new projects and ensure all the standard tasks and subtasks are included. In addition, it would
empower the rest of the team to start projects independently without the fear of missing any required steps etc.

As always keep up the great work with this application. I am looking forward to the release of your API as we would  love to integrate TWL with Salesforce or Freshbooks.

Thank you very much, I look forward to your response.

Thx,
SM

Tasks - Category Tag

2 comments
A tasks category tag would help associate tasks together (for instance, marketing tasks, programming tasks, PM tasks, etc).

This can be done with milestones, but then we cannot properly associate tasks with milestones. Ideally I would like to see milestones be items like Prototype, Alpha, Beta, etc... and Task Categories like marketing, programming, PM, etc. This way, milestones could contain tasks of different types, yet still be able to organize appropriately (Beta Milestone - 2 programming tasks, 1 marketing task, 1 PM task.)

Tasks - Start and End Date

No comments
It would be very helpful to have Start and End dates associated with tasks.

Currently, I have to create two tasks.

1. "[Start] - Process A"   This notifies the user when to begin working on the process. Acts as a notification for their calendar and dashboard.
2. "[Complete] - Process A"  This notifies the user when the task needs to be complete. This gives them about a week's notice only on their dashboard.

As you can imagine, the task list has doubled in size and is a mess to look at. This would be a very useful fix, or if you have other suggestions on how to do this, I would appreciate them.

Add items from one calendar to another

No comments
It would be nice to be able to add items from one calendar to another. For example, if I have my personal calendar with my time off on it, I would like to be able to overlay this on other project calendars, so clients on that project will know when I am OOTO.

Show time entries in emails

When sending out a comment / update email, can it include the time taken so far? Perhaps with details?

Editing A Recurring Event or Task

1 comment
Hi,

First thanks so much for the recurring task/event feature... it has made our live a bit simpler. But there always something else huh...

The Request
Is there any way to edit one of the recurring tasks/events independently within a series without applying the change made to the entire recurring series? For example:

I create an task or task called

Weekly File Review
Due Every Monday @ 10 AM
Description: Weekly Process Supporting X

Everything is fine 1st Monday, 2nd Monday & 4th Monday

But...
On the 3rd Monday we has some situation were we have to push that review due date to maybe Monday @ 2 PM or The next day.

And we have to add a note to the description field that read:
Description: Hi team we are pushing this to 2 PM etc due to ...

We would like to me able to apply this special change ONLY to the 3rd Monday task/event but on the 4th Monday the task/event would be due at 10 AM as scheduled.

With the original description text:
Description: Weekly Process Supporting X

Is this possible?

Thanks,

/S

"Big Brother" Function for Administrators?

As a project administrator, I'd like to be able to view who logs into our project site and see what they've done there (e.g. download files). This will help me assess if the site is useful for people, determine better ways to use it, etc. This could be a view under the 'Admin' tab.

Open item reports

It would be great to be able to print open items for certain people, not 'all'.

View open items as calendar & add milestones

1 comment
 It would be great to view all open items in a calendar view in addition to a list format. I'm a visual person and prefer to see milestones in a calendar view. When I view all open items from everyone on my team, I would like to get a quick calendar glance at what everyone has on their plate.

It would also be great to add milestones from the calendar view instead of just tasks.

Lastly, in the project teams view, it would be great if the inactive projects were either absent from that page or at least separate from the active projects.
Thanks!

Quick add calendar entries

It would be great to have a quick add calendar entry field much like google cal to be able to make entries in just one field ie. meeting with.....project.... on tuesday, 3pm. I am using my iphone in the field for calendar entries a lot and switching between all the different drop-downs is a pain.

Gantt or Pert Chart view

No comments
Is this coming on the way?
It is much more visual to see dependent and overlapping tasks visually this way. The guys at 5pmweb.com do a pretty job at it.
These are common project views that visual PM like me take to more easily.
Hope it comes soon.
Great using the app so far.

Add Item from Dashboard

2 comments

Hi TeamworkLive,
Once thing I really like is how each entry can become a contact, folder item, milestone, task, etc based on the entry details, but I find it awkward to have to go to that section first to create an item, for example going to the task page to create a task or the contacts page to create a contact.  I'm not sure how many people use the 3-month calendar item next to the Notepad icon by the search field, but could that be replaced by an "Add Item" instead?  That way a new item could be created from the Dashboard or on any screen in the same manner.  Maybe just an option to create an item from the Dashboard would work too. 

Thanks,
Robert

Status field added to tasks

3 comments
I would like to see another field added to tasks - the "Status" field. This would be very helpful in further defining tasks. the options for the status field could be:
Not Started
On Hold
In Progress or Started
25%
50%
75%

*no need for the "Completed" status as that is currently a part of the tasks.

Add Item from Anywhere

2 comments
Since there is a "Put in Folder" option when you add items, could you put an "Add Item" button somewhere to avoid always going back to the folders page before creating an item?  If nothing is selected, it would just go into unfiled, but then you could return to the calendar or milestones or tasks or whatever you were looking at before you had an idea to add an item.  Thanks.

Archiving folders

1 comment
It would be nice if we could archive an entire folder. 

We use folders to organize smaller projects in a team workspace, and it would be nice to be able to archive the entire folder when the project is complete.

It would also be nice to have a toggle feature to show archived folders in the folder list, and to show archived items within a folder.

Embed images in wysiwyg editor

2 comments

This also is in the Questions folder, but wanted to get into requests folder.

I'm separating this request from the "Attach multiple images to a task", because it is different and this would be my preference over multiple attachments. Being able to embed images in the wysiwyg editor would make it really nice when creating tasks and trying to give clear explanations. Just look at all the requests I've been putting to you with attachments, I have been adding them through comments (which is ok, but not the best ). How much easier it would be if I could embed images and really have the ability to explain what I am saying.

Billed and Billable in Time Reports

2 comments

This is actually one of my questions in the Questions folder, but wanted to get it into the features section.

I would like to have a "billable" checkbox when adding a time log, then be able to filter out billable items in the time tracking report. Also in the time tracking report would like to have another checkbox for "billed" so can mark items when billed to a client, and be able to filter them out. Essentially, I'd like to be able to run a report that will show me all billable hours for a client that have not yet been billed.

And would be great to be able to have check boxes for these in the time report instead of having to go to each time log individually and make the update.

Screenshots placement in between pages

3 comments
Can Teamwork Live insert a file or picture between content of a page?

For example, I wanted to share findings of a certain product with team members and inserting screenshots in the writing seems to be the normal practice in documents or knowledgement tools. However, in Teamwork Live I can only attach a file which inevitably inserted at the end of the page.

Can a function like [Insert Picture] icon like other Wiki tools or MS Word be integrated in the editing screen? Currently, my workaround is to upload the picture(s) to our other web hosting server and insert html code manually to point to the picture externally. However, this seems not efficient.

Hope to hear from you guys! Thanks

Import Project Management Tool or file(s)?

3 comments
I'm new to Teamwork Live and our team have been evaluating the tool for 3 days now.

One suggestion came out, can Teamwork live import activities / tasks / milestones from a ready made project plan file? For example, importing a MS project file or Omniplanner in XML format into the calendar, updates the milestones and tasks accordingly.

We see this as a heavy duty online collaboration tool, where project management activities can be integrated via Teamwork Live, even to create another level [Projects]. A higher level where milestone(s) can be tagged to the project.

Duplicate Folders

No comments
You can now duplicate your folders and its contents quickly using our duplicate feature. To duplicate a folder, select a folder from the folders list and then click the [duplicate] link from the folder detail. You will be given the option to rename the folder, assign the folder to another workspace, and choose whether you want to duplicate the contained pages or just create shortcuts to them. You can also duplicate all the folders inside the folder you are duplicating by checking the "Duplicate folders inside this folder too" checkbox.

The duplicate folder feature can be used to cut down on the amount of work required to set up new teams. You can create a template team and populate its workspace with common project folders and pages. When you need to create a new team for a project, you can duplicate the folders in the template workspace into the new workspace, thereby removing the need to manually recreate everything. We will also be adding a duplicate team feature in a future release.
