Tasks Pro description
Powerful web-based task manager (to-do list manager) that allows you to organize your tasks in a hierarchical structure
Tasks Pro is the multi-user version of Tasks: a powerful web-based task manager (to-do list manager) that allows you to organize your tasks in a hierarchical structure. Group controls allow projects to be set up only for people who need to see them.
The easy browser based interface lets everyone in your groups work together easily and efficiently.
The Tasks Pro server component is cross-platform compatible and can be installed on any Windows, Mac OS X or Linux computer running PHP and MySQL.
Here are some key features of "Tasks Pro":
· Rich, powerful interface
Tasks Pro is built from the user's perspective with a responsive and innovative user interface that makes it a real joy to use. This is software designed to stay out of your way and help you get things done.
· Hierarchical organization of tasks
The heart of Tasks Pro is the hierarchical task structure. Tasks and notes are organized and categorized through these relationships. Put your high-level projects at the top and fill out the details as you go.
· Complete managerial control
Tasks Pro lets you assign tasks to members of your groups, and can even automatically send them e-mail to notify them of their new task. They can edit the task and update it's progress, and you can monitor its status. Comment fields and notes can also be used for workers and supervisors to stay in touch with what's happening.
· Peer-to-peer collaboration
Team members communicate directly with each other. You can assign tasks to anyone in your group, making this a great way to manage the day to day details that are so crucial to a business' success.
· Powerful work group controls
Tasks Pro allows you to set up unlimited
groups and freely assign users to them. Access to task information can also be limited across groups.
Users in the sales department, for example, can be kept away from information intended for the engineering team, but you can see and manage it all. Individual users can be assigned to multiple groups, and each user's access level to the data (view, edit, create) can be individually customized.
· Familiar browser based interface
If you can use a web browser, you can use Tasks Pro. Many people even make it their home page so their to-do list is always in front of them.
· Zero-install for your users
Your users need only a web browser to use Tasks Pro; and they can access their tasks from any computer.
· Centralized data
Your data is stored in a MySQL database on the server. You can easily back up the tasks for all of your users from one place.
· File Attachments
Upload and attach files to tasks and notes. Tasks Pro works as a central storage spot for your files so you can access them from anywhere.
· Set due dates and priorities
Besides the interactive tree view, Tasks Pro provides both a sortable view and a view that shows upcoming and overdue tasks for both you and your groups(s). Use the view that works best for you.
· Manage your responsibilities & work
There's no need for a separate to-do list manager for tasks only you need to know about. Just click the 'Private' check box for any task, and nobody else will ever see that you need to buy milk on the way home!
· Intelligent e-mail notifications
When a task is assigned, an e-mail notification is sent to the new owner with both a link to the task and the details right in the email itself. When a task is updated by someone who isn't the task's owner (another group member with permission), the owner is notified that it has been modified.
If you assign a task to someone, you will receive an e-mail notification when it has been completed (unless you are the one who marks it complete).
· Daily e-mail reminders
Each user can receive a daily e-mail reminders of their overdue, upcoming and high-priority tasks.
· Theme Support
Choose from the suppiled color themes or create your own with custom colors and your own logo.
· iCalendar of your tasks
Subscribe to your iCalendar or the iCalendar for your group(s) to view your tasks right in your iCalendar compatible Calendar software.
· RSS feeds of your tasks
Subscribe to the RSS feed for your tasks or your group(s)'s tasks and keep up with what your group members are working on.
· iCalendars and RSS feeds for each task
View upcoming dates for a specfic project or use RSS to keep track the project's progress.
· Mobile/PDA interface for access on the go
Tasks Pro has a lightweight interface designed for your PDA or smart phone (requires an HTML capable browser). You'll even be automatically redirected to the mobile interface when you log in from your mobile device.
· Use Notes to store relevant information
When you need to keep track of relevant information for a project but it isn't really a task, use a note instead. You can convert a task to a note and back to a task, right on the fly.
· Full localization support
Tasks Pro is fully localized. As they become available, new language packs will be available for download from the Support page.
