Comments Report, "All Messages" Support, Create Item Via Email Improvements, And More

updated on March 1, 2011 by TeamWork Live
We have added some exciting new features in the past few weeks that we want to make you aware of. We hope theses features will make it even easier for you to stay on top of all of your projects. Thanks again for your continued support.

Comments Report
We have added a comments report that allows you to quickly see all the comments that have been made across all of your projects. You can filter the report to see only comments for specific projects or for a specific time period. The report also includes a full-text search engine that will allow you to quickly see all the comments that match your search term. Like the message search, the search result will have your search term automatically highlighted for you.

Support for Viewing All Messages
You can now configure the messages section of your projects so that they can be viewed by either the project administrator, the company administrator, or by all team members. This is useful for projects where you want specific project members to be able to read all previously sent messages so that they can catch up on a project. You could achieve a similar effect previously by sending all messages to everyone in the project, but this had the drawback of everyone being notified about every new message even if it's not relevant to them. The new settings allow you to send messages only to the relevant project members but still allows you to review all previously sent project messages. 

For security reasons, messages sent before this feature is enabled will not appear in the "All Messages" list. For information on how to enable this feature, click the "Help" link and then on the "Message Settings" link.

Create Item Via Email Improvements
We have made it even easier for you to create items via email. You can now email or CC tasks@teamworklive.com, milestones@teamworklive.com, events@teamworklive.com, or documents@teamworklive.com from the email address used when signing up for TeamWork Live to create tasks, milestones, events, or documents respectively. You can continue to use your previous drop box address if you want but we think you will find these new addresses to be easier to remember. You can add the same keywords in the subject line of your email to specify the responsible user, due date, etc. for the created items. 

Color Code Project Calendars
You can now color-code the items in your project calendar by the project member that is responsible for them. Select "Responsible user" from the "Color code by" selection.

Filter "My Tasks" By Project
In addition to filtering your tasks by milestone, you can now filter the tasks in your "My Tasks" by project. This filter will hide tasks from other projects when you are working on a specific project.

Miscellaneous
1. We have improved the notification emails so it does a better job of highlighting the changes that were actually made.
2. You can now disable auto-archiving of completed items from your company preferences. This is useful if you want to keep previously completed items in your folders around for reference purposes.
3. The comment icon now tells you the date of the last comment when you move your cursor over it.
