MILESTONES & TASKS

Milestones & tasks help you to successfully plan, track and manage your project from start to finish. Assign tasks & milestones to users, add start & end dates, color-coded statuses, notes and progress of the tasks & milestones. You can even add your own custom fields.

BUG TRACKING & ISSUE REPORTING

Easily report bugs or issues as they arise and just like milestones & tasks, you can assign the bug to a user, add a status, severity of the bug, a description, due date & attach files to each individual bug.

PROJECT DISCUSSION & ADD ATTACHMENTS

Avoid email trails and keep the entire discussion about your project right where it should be, within the project! Any user can add to the discussion and with the Front End Edit extension and you can also allow your clients to add to the discussion.

FRONT END VIEW

Your clients can view the details and the progress of the project via the front end. Using a customized login system, you can determine which users of your client can have access to the project and also to which parts of the project they can view.

PROJECT TIMELINE

With the Project Timeline you can view your project Milestones and Tasks in a beautiful timeline. This helps you see at a glance how your project is progressing.

See all your milestones and tasks

The Project Timeline shows color-coded Milestones and Tasks, with the progress represented as a small green progress bar beneath each item.

The user that is assigned to each task will also have their image displayed on the timeline so you know exactly who is doing what at a glance.

Milestones and Tasks are shown in a hierarchy with the first Milestone at the top and with all Tasks belonging to that Milestone directly beneath it.

Hover for more details

Hovering over each bar in the timeline will popup with a more detailed view of that particular task or milestone which shows the start and end dates, progress, who the item is assigned to and which Milestone the Task belongs to, all presented in a beautiful looking timeline chart.

EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

Receive email updates and reminders to people working on your projects

The is essential for keeping people up-to-date on projects.

Users will be notified whenever Milestones, Tasks or Bugs are assigned to them. They can also get reminders when a due date approaches.

You can choose system-wide notifications

Inside the Email Notifications extension, you can choose default reminders:

A day before
Two days before
Three days before
A week before
Two weeks before

If you choose any of these options, they will automatically be applied to all new Milestones, Tasks and Bugs.

Reminders will be sent to any users who have been assigned to these Milestones, Tasks and Bugs.

Customize your notifications

You can also customize reminders for individual items. This next image shows the editing screen for a single task.

CALENDAR VIEW

With calendar view you can easily see everything that’s happening in a single project, or all your projects. You can see due dates for all the milestones, tasks, and bugs.

The Calendar View extension is a very important tool for keeping up-to-date on all your projects. Inside each project, you’ll see a calendar giving a color-coded overview of all your due dates:

Edit items directly from the calendar

Click on a milestone, task or bug and you’ll see a pop-up window with all the relevant details.

Click on the “Edit” button and you’ll immediately be taken to edit that item.

Use the Calendar View to see ALL your projects

The Calendar View is also available from your main “Projects” screen. This gives you an overview of progress on ALL your projects.

It’s also possible to change to a “bar” view so you can see which projects are currently in progress. This gives you a birds-eye view, without needing to see every items for every project.
