Wow another month has whizzed by ... and yet again we've been super busy here at TeamworkPM HQ. Here's a list of the updates we have for you this month:
Dropbox Integration!
We are really excited to announce that TeamworkPM now integrates with Dropbox! Available on Business 2 and higher plans. This has just gone live today, hope you LOVE it. For more info read the blog post – Dropbox integration is now available available on Business 2 and higher plans.
Milestones scheduled can now be shifted backwards
By popular request, when you move a milestone date, you can now adjust all other milestones backward as well as forward. This missing feature - shifting backward - was causing some of you a lot of heartache. We're in the business of putting smiles on faces so we hope this cheers some of you up. For more information, read the full blog post: Milestone schedule can now be shifted backwards.
New grid view released for Files
We've added a nice way to view and find your files visually with the new Grid view option. Check out the blog post – New grid view released for files tab.
Create tasks by email now allows you to set the due date
Tasks by email is quickly becoming a vital feature for our Teamwork users. This month we have added the ability to specify the due date of your task! You can say Next Week, Today, Tomorrow or enter a date such as 01/09/2011. Check out the blog post – Create tasks by email now allows you to set the due date.
Somebody leaving? Easily reassign their tasks.
You can now bulk re-assign tasks and milestones to another user. The main reason this feature was requested was that a person would leave a company and they would end up being replaced by someone else. Before you had to manually go through all the task assigned to them and reassign the tasks to the new user. - Read the full blog post – New in TeamworkPM - Reassign all task and milestones.
