AceProject 3.6 introduces a wide range of clever new functions and improvements:
  • Three new access right items have been added:
    • The new limited administrator mode gives project managers an overview of all their projects without having access to account configuration.
    • Timesheets can be completely disabled, keeping a user from logging time.
    • Access to the User Directory can be limited or disabled. Hence, a user can only see users who are members of his or her projects or not see the directory at all.
  • Project configuration contains three new default values fields: task Start Date, end date and estimated hours.
  • Each project now has a contact section that displays the contact person for this specific project.
  • When copying a project, it is possible to also copy the tasks’ file attachments.
  • Users can copy their timesheets from week to week, which speeds up their creation.
  • The discussion forum has been improved to add text search.
  • When updating a task, it is possible to cancel email notification through a simple checkbox.
  • Gantt charts can be configured to display a specific number of months or weeks per page.
  • Each user can decide the number of projects displayed per page, as well as how they are sorted.
  • Deleting data associated with a user has been made faster and easier.
  • A condensed printer version for tasks helps reduce paper consumption.
  • Multiple assignments are possible both from tasks and projects.
  • An administrator can send a user his or her login information straight from that user’s configuration window.
  • Task types and groups have been added to search criteria for time reports.
  • A new report on un-assigned tasks is now available.
