Yesterday, we announced the release of a new Task Management feature in ZohoProjects. And, I would like to share the advantages of this feature with you.

• Admin and Manager can have a bird's-eye view of all the hours logged against a task.  Other users can view the total hours logged by them against a task.
• Documents and Forums can be associated.
• Documents can be uploaded either from your PC or Zoho Docs or Google Docs.
• Task Owners can add/edit/delete the hours logged by them.
• Admin, Manager and Task Owners can edit task details from a single interface, which will increase the productivity.
  
• Other project members can include their comments either by adding/updating the task notes.
• Dependent tasks, task activities can be viewed and you can also have a hard copy of the page (i.e print the page)

Excited? Go to 'Tasks & Milestones' Tab, Click on task title and have a look at this feature.

Your comments are much appreciated.

Of late, Zoho Projects customers have been inquiring 'how to import MPP files into Zoho Projects'

So, we decided to enlighten our customers about Import MPP feature, by posting the steps along with the images.

Import MPP option on the Home Page

Browse for the MPP file

Browse for the required MPP file, select the project to which the MPP file has to imported and click the Import MPP button.

Mapping Users

You can map the tasks to 'Any User', so that the project members can pick the tasks later or assign the tasks to the project members & click 'Associate Users' button.

Tasks in Zoho Projects

There you go! The tasks are now imported from MPP file into Zoho Projects.

Similarly, you can import MPX files into Zoho Projects.

From the post title, you might wonder how easier is the document search in Zoho Projects 2.0. Let's rewind ourselves to the past Zoho Projects 1.0, just to know how the document search feature was.

You were able to search a file based on either the file tag or file extension only from the Documents section of the project.

file search based on file extension in Projects 1.0:

file search based on file tag in Projects 1.0:

At present Zoho Projects 2.0, Document search has been enhanced in such a way that, you can search files based on file tag or file extension or file name.

file search based on file tag:

file search based on file extension:

file search based on file name (New in Zoho Projects 2.0):

In addition, you can search the files not only from the document section, but also from other modules of the project and from the global search section of the portal.

file search from global search section:
