Bulk Update and Note Pad

We released two new features last week: one will help you adjust to schedule slippage more quickly and the other will help free your desk (and mind) for more important things.

Bulk Update of Due Dates and Responsible Users
One thing we learned about running a project is that milestones are sometimes missed and tasks are not always finished on time. Dealing with these situations has now become a lot easier with TeamWork Live. Instead of updating each milestone or task one at a time, you can now update the due dates and responsible users for all milestones or tasks at once. To do so, go to the milestones or tasks page of one of your workspaces. If you have more than one open milestones or tasks, a button labeled "Change due dates and responsible users" will be available. Click the button to display the bulk update page. You can push forward all due dates a specified number of days (like 1 week) or update each due date individually (or both). When bulk updating team milestones or tasks, you will also have the option of reassigning them to other team members.

Note Pad
This feature grew out of our need for a way to deal with all the sticky notes cluttering our desks. While tasks are great for keeping track of big things, we often needed to keep track of a lot of the little things related to each task. The note pad is our solution for keeping track of the little things. You can view your note pad from any page by clicking the note pad icon next to the search box.

To create a new note, simply enter a name for the note and press the <Enter> key or the [Create] button. When you have multiple notes, you can quickly switch between them using the selection list. You can add items to the note by entering a description and pressing the <Enter> key or the [Add] button. You can rearrange note items by clicking and dragging the drag bar for each item up or down. All note items can be marked as completed by clicking the box next to it. When you are done with an item, you can delete it by clicking the item's trash icon. Finally, after you are finished a note, you can print or email the note to yourself or a team member using the options found at the bottom of the note pad.

We hope these two new features will help you become even more productive and successful. Thanks again for your continued support.
