Project Track is a very useful tool that doesn’t replace applications such as MS Project, but complement them. You cannot create project plans with Project Track, but you can do pretty much everything else.
Project Track is not a planning tool, but a program to help you execute your plan, saving you time when all the administrative work that surrounds all projects.
The personal edition of Project Track is targeted to anyone that needs to manage simple projects in a single user environment.
For example, if you use a spreadsheet or word processor to keep track of action items (to-Dos), risks, changes, issues, milestones, etc. You can use Project Track to keep track of all those items from a single location. You can have multiple clients and projects, each one of them with its own set of information.
But keeping track of things is not all you can do with Project Track. Most projects generate documents that need to be easily accessible. As the number of documents grows, the time spent looking for them increases.
What about looking for a document related to a project that was finished some time ago? You can spend a lot of time moving from directory to directory, trying to remember the title of the document. Very frustrating!
With Project Track you can catalog all of your documents. Once a document is attached to Project Track, you can search for it using multitude of parameters, and the results will display at ligh speed.
You still need to save the documents someplace in your computer or network, but once Project Track is linked to them, you don't ever need to remember where you put them.
If, during the course of a year, you spend 2 or more hours looking for documents in your computer, Project Track will pay for itself.

What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Display of People's name: Now you can configure how you want to see people's name displayed; Last Name first (i.e. Smith, John) or First Name first (i.e. John Smith). The default is now Last Name first, but you can change it by going to Tools > Options and unchecking the "Display people's Last Name first" box.
· Ability to select what type of items you want to use with Clients and Projects: Not everyone uses all the types of items that ProjectTrack provides. For example, you may not care about client Locations or Departments or about keeping track of Initiatives and Programs. The same can be said about projects. You may want to track Action Items, but not Issues or Changes or Meetings.
· Easier way to assigned people to items: Until now, to assign a person to a project related item, the person needed to be assigned first to the project. Not anymore. Now you can assign anyone to any item even if the person is not assigned to the project. It will make everything a little easier!
· New database update engine capable to handle more situations and automatically adapt to them.
· The about us window and other dialogs have been modified to make sure they display correctly when the user has non-standard fonts.
· Fixed: Problem when trying to print/preview when editing an email template.
· Fixed: Problem when restoring the database and pressing the cancel key.
