November 2011 Updates to TeamworkPM

And so another month whizzes by and we're nearly in to the Christmas funny season!

We have been busy little bees this month and now it's time to pop up for some air and let you guys know what we've accomplished this month...

Big Ticket Items

  • We finally added Estimated Time to tasks. Feedback comes in waves and this was a top requested feature. We were spending so much time answering feedback on this item that we bit the bullet and implemented it. We took all good suggestions in to account, mapped out how best to implement it and added a few suggestions of our own. Read about this here
  • We overhauled the Project Chart. The old version used Flash, looked ugly and couldn't be filtered or printed. It bugged us that we couldn't display the chart on iPad. Read more about this here....
  • We added some required features to Notebooks. The major additions include moving Notebooks to another project, a new grid view of notebooks and some updates to improve the PDF downloading.

Small Ticket Items

  • Dropbox: Added the ability to turn Dropbox off on a per project level
  • Calendar: Project Events: Added ability to mark an event as editable by people on a project
  • Tasks/Milestones: Added in the ability for an Administrator to change the date an item appears to be completed on
  • Tasks: Added in a new drop down option so Administrators can change who create the task (Handy if you want to notify a client when the task is completed)
  • Notebooks: Finally added in a way for people to tab through table cells in the Notebook editor
  • Email: Creating tasks/messages by email got a new priority setting. You can add "!" for low, "!!" for medium and "!!!" for high priority
  • Email: We are testing a new method of email parsing which allows you to create a friendly forwarding email to the tasks/messages Teamwork email address (e.g: Create an email address tasks@mydomain.com which forwards to the Teamwork email addres)
  • Freshbooks: We now pull back and cache all your contacts when your exporting to Freshbooks. Before this there was a limit of 100 contacts. Now there is no limit!
  • Milestones: Viewing a milestone now gives you the option to download a PDF document of the Milestone containing the milestone details, comments, tasks etc
  • Tasks: Find out who created a task by hovering your mouse over the task name. Small but important update!
  • All Milestones Page: Gutted this and re-wrote it to bring it up to date with other parts of the app
  • API: We now have added full support for Resources
  • API: We now have added full support for Notebooks
  • Tech: Added new headers to force ISP Proxy Servers to always grab a new page

We love that you keep updating TeamWorkPM. You guys are doing a great job!! Thank you. Can you add some functionality to my Christmas list? I would like to be able to set the start and stop calendars to view time logged for each individual project, as it is I have to manually change the time period view I want to see on each project. Also I would like to be able to use the timer to track time on individual projects. We have multiple team members working on different projects and it seems only one timer can be used at a time. Am I missing something and just don't know how to do it?

Hi!

Have you checked out the Desktop Timer? http://www.teamworkpm.net/timerapp

This may be exactly what you're looking for!

Hi guys
Excellent job.
I would still love to see that "advanced privacy option" we discussed, err, last year, though.

Hi Gil,

Thanks for the thumbs up! The "Lockdown" feature is still pegged in on the roadmap. It's a big change to everything from the app to the api and everything in between but it's still very much going to happen.

Great to see the estimated time feature. Now project managers will have a better feel for how much real work is in the queue.
— Seth Carstens
Can I say that we absolutely love you guys!?

The three things I really liked on this list:

* New project chart
* Tasks: Added in a new drop down option so Administrators can change who create the task
* Tasks: Find out who created a task by hovering your mouse over the task name. Small but important update!

Fantastic! The last two are relatively small updates, but make a huge difference for us day-to-day. Thank you so much!

Hi Matt,

Delighted you liked the smaller updates! Some of these where on the list for a while but they make a big difference :-)

TeamWork is probably the best project management system I've every tried. I love the user-friendly interface, it's easy to figure things out, and I love the calendar. My only wish would be - the address book. The system has everything, except for one of the most important things. I had to go else where to create my address book. Do you plan to incorporate this feature in the near future? Thankyou!!
— Lana
Time Logs??
— Joe
Yep! Time logs.... ;-)

Love the estimated time to complete feature. Good work.

I would love to be able to see a timesheet view per user in a table - projects on one side and dates along the top.

Awesome work so far though.

Thanks Chris! Can you send us a Feedback request with your suggestion in more depth so we can discuss?

Dan.

— Daniel Mackey
Cool. Will do
