Here is a request from one of our customers:
Hi,
I mentioned this before but is there any chance you can implement this feature:
It's a great function to be able to export a time sheet, but without the total time, it is useless!
Please???! :)
He is not alone there as we had a flood of similar requests from many of our customers. So we've implemented this request in our latest Zoho Projects update. From now on after exporting your timesheet data into xls/csv format, you will be able to see total log hours of your project.
We are also very much excited to announce few enhancements which we felt would be quite handy for you while using Zoho Projects.
1. Upload xlsx files in Documents
Some users who are working on latest xlsx files would like to upload these files and collaborate in Zoho Projects. The current update includes support for .xlsx file format.
2. Show Task List & Task Owner in Task Dependency View
A Task Dependency view basically is a hierarchy tree structure of parent-child tasks but missed details like which task list a task belonged to and who the task's owner was. We felt these might be useful information to show for dependent tasks view. Here's how the Task Dependency View looks like now.
3. All Task Lists View
Above all, the much awaited "All Task Lists" option got implemented in this update. Just click on the Tasks and Milestones tab and all task lists present across milestones of your project will get listed in a single place.
Click on the More Task Lists link to list down all task lists in All Task Lists view. You can also take a print out of all your task lists.
Check out the new features and send us your valuable suggestions to support@zohoprojects.com.
Zoho, the upstart provider of online Web applications, seems to be continually integrating and upgrading its products in the cloud, says China Martens, an analyst with The 451 Group. Martens jokes that it's as if all of the Zoho developers sit in separate rooms for several months, each one pounding away at his respective application (Zoho Mail, for example, or Zoho CRM), only to have the walls come tumbling down just as the developers are ready to join their applications.
Unveiled at the start of July, the 2.0 release of Zoho Projects, the collaboration and productivity platform, reflects multiple integration efforts, as well as the following improvements:
- Twitter-like status bars enable project members to be more social within the application.
- Project-member activities are presented in a project stream, which is a visual representation of project activities.
- The integration of Zoho Chat and the enablement of group chat, through which project members can add tasks, assign them out, and even attach documents to them. Members can also move beyond Chat to create a discussion forum.
- An expansion of the user interface to allow project members to bring in external information, write notes on documents, and assign documents to a particular task.
- The ability to create a wiki for centralizing information, eliminating the need to import an outside Zoho Doc.
- The addition of a timesheet, integrated with Zoho Invoice, to log and track time spent on specific tasks, and to easily create, send, and track invoices.
Zoho also made some significant enhancements to its Zoho CRM product recently. With the Zoho CRM Mail Add-on, officially announced on July 21, Zoho CRM now integrates with email -- and not just Zoho Mail. The selection of any email account for integration will add an "email" tab to the Zoho CRM application. Users running off a non-Zoho email client can configure Zoho Mail to be the interface for sending and receiving. According to the company, the most significant element of the integration between Zoho CRM and Zoho Mail is that the contact information involved in each email is automatically added to the Zoho CRM system, where a user can see all of the correspondence with a particular contact. Users can respond to email from within the CRM system, or even add tasks to a given contact.
