Advanced Task Features!

In the last few months we have rolled out several task updates in response to customer requests and we wanted to share them with you. These features can be a great time saver as well as helping you to organise tasks more efficiently.

In-line Editing

It is now possible to edit tasks directly from the Project Details page, simply double click on any field, make any changes and click “Update!” and you’re done.

Task Templates

Task templates have been in ProWorkflow for a long time but we’ve improved them even further. In the past you needed to assign staff to a Project in advance or they would not be included when you added a Task Template. We’ve changed that so ProWorkflow now asks if you would like to add staff to the Project if they are not already assigned to it.

This should be a great help to those of you who use Task Templates regularly.
.

Task Ordering

ProWorkflow supports dependent tasks but for these to work correctly you had to remember to assign each task a unique order number. We’ve added an option that enforces Task Ordering throughout ProWorkflow so you can ensure your dependent tasks work correctly. This is found in the ‘Usability Settings’ area of the ADMINISTRATION section.

This will also be useful for customers who want to ensure each task has a unique order number to help you keep track of each task.

Task Description – Rich Text/HTML Support

We have updated the task description field to support rich text and HTML, previously it was only possible to use plain text. This update means you now have the same flexibility for task descriptions as you do for projects. .
