Task Enhancements, Report Enhancements, and Additional Administrative Features
updated on March 1, 2011 by TeamWork Live
We have rolled out many features over the last month that we would like to bring to your attention. Most of these features are designed to save you time and make it easier for you to manage your TeamWork Live account.
Tasks
1. You can now create a new milestone when creating a new task. To create a new milestone, select "New milestone..." from the milestone selection box and enter the name of the new milestone. A new milestone will be created with the specified name and the new task will be assigned to the milestone. The permission settings for the new milestone will be the same as those of the task.
2. When creating a task, if you select a milestone for the task, the responsible user and approver for the task will automatically default to the responsible user and approver of the selected milestone. You can override the responsible user and approver if you wish.
3. You will now be able to change the workspace, responsible user, and due date when duplicating a task. This is useful if you have template tasks in a template workspace that you want to duplicate to create actual tasks. Previously, you had to duplicate the task and then update it with the new changes.
Open Items Report
When viewing the open items report for all projects and sorting by due date, the projects are now sorted so the project with the earliest due date is shown first. For example, if you have 20 projects and two of them have tasks or milestones with due dates this week, they will be shown first in the report. This will help you to quickly see which projects you need to concentrate on if you are managing a lot of projects.
Personal Workspace
When creating an event, milestone, or task from your personal workspace using the "quick add" feature, you will now be able to specify the workspace that they belong to.
Storage Space Management
You can now manage your storage space by selecting "Storage Space" from the "Admin" tab. You can quickly see all the files in your storage space, sort them, and delete files you no longer need.
User Account Management
Administrators on group plans can now create accounts for their users. This is an alternative to the current method whereby an administrator invites another user to his or her team and the invited user create his or her own account. Administrators will be able to edit the account information and preferences for existing users. If you create an account for a user, you will have to manually send them an email with their account information and the login web address.
