You don’t need to open each project to see your tasks anymore: the My Tasks page under the My Office tab shows all your tasks for all assigned projects. Of course, we have a search bar to help you sort the tasks by project, status or type of action required (assigned user or reviewer).
You can now create and manage a discussion forum in each one of your projects. AceProject permits creating as many topics as you need in a project. This helps teams improve communications while leaving a record of those conversations.
Keeping in mind our users’ comments and our commitment to constant improvement, AceProject now has a brand new, flexible access right structure. While administrator access rights have been slightly modified, normal user access rights have been expanded to permit tailoring each user’s access to their actual needs and permissions. Read our page about access rights.
Don’t worry about your account and login information: they will remain unaffected by the name change.
The web site is now sporting the FreeTaskManager’s new colors, and has more ergonomic browsing. We also took the opportunity to launch brand new packages. Our new Hosted ADVANCED package offers a solution that is midway between the limited free account and the powerful PRO package. Our Source Code package now comes with both Access 2000 and SQL Server 2000 database formats.
Finally, FreeTaskManager now supports recurring monthly payments with the Hosted ADVANCED and Hosted PRO packages, with our new credit card provider, Paypal.
In the project tab you will notice a new item: the Project Calendar. It displays each task’s start and end dates in a practical monthly format. Within a click, browse back and forward in time to see tasks begin and end. You can even apply filters to display only tasks that matter to you.
Three new features are now available on the FreeTaskManager: tab-based task editing, a complete statistics page for projects and new statistics and reports sections for administrators.
The Edit Task Information page is now divided in tabs to make browsing easier. With more and more information now available for each task, using tabs to go from basic information to file attachments is simpler.
The project statistics page also displays more information, providing a more detailed summary of your project. You can even see the list of tasks assigned to a specific user or task status, for example.
In the administration section, you can now see statistics for all projects: get an overview of activity in your account, including file attachment sizes and total task numbers, so you can be up-to-date on how close to your limitations you are. Moreover, you can also produce a report on tasks assigned, created or reviewed by a specific user –regardless of project! Browse the list of all tasks assigned to a user in all projects, for example.
You can now see your project’s completion levels at a glance using the popular Gantt chart model. This chart shows a monthly progress bar for each task.
Gantt charts are a project planning tool used to represent the timing of tasks required to complete a project. Because Gantt charts are simple to understand, they are used by most project managers to illustrate completion or progress.
