Can't find the "new project" button.

Also - what about contact info fields -client information?

uprasanna, 354 - days ago   

New Project link is not available in Zoho Projects Demo Account. To create a new project, Sign up for Free at http://projects.zoho.com.

To view the clients info, log onto your portal, click "settings" link on the top right of the window and click "client view" tab to view the client company and client users in an organization.

Do archived projects count towards the total number of projects offered within each service level (i.e. Standard level includes 20 projects)?

uprasanna, 325 - days ago   

No, archived projects are not taken into account for the total number of projects.

Only the active/live projects are taken into account for the total number of projects in any plan.

Is the information, associated with archived projects, accessible for review after the project is archived?

uprasanna, 312 - days ago   

gregoryy

Yes, the information associated with archived projects can be accessed.

Click required project under Archived Projects and add/edit/delete the project information.

Can I upload an MS-project plan into Zoho Projects? Thanks

uprasanna, 303 - days ago   

As of now, its not possible to upload MS Projects into Zoho Projects.


Ability to import MS Project into Zoho Projects is already taken up in our feature list and will be rolled out in future.


I will keep you updated once this feature is rolled out.

I have already a project and I would like to convert this one in projet templates ? Can I convert a project in a project templates ?

uprasanna, 255 - days ago   

@sophie.girard,

As of now, it is not possible to create a project template from an existing project.

Initially, you can create a project template. Then using that template, you can create a project.

How do you move tasks from an existing project into a newly created project?

uprasanna, 247 - days ago   

soonteh,

As of now, task can be moved from one task list to another in a project and it is not possible to move a task from one project to another.

I just upgraded from FREE to STANDARD, but when I create project, I could not find any project TEMPLATE. It still says "None." I thought it is supposed to come with 4 templates in STANDARD. Do I have to do something to activate that?

Is it possible to export a project from zoho to save as a backup?

uprasanna, 232 - days ago   

phil.ly@ticsoftware.com,

Thanks for upgrading from FREE to STANDARD plan. Currently, there are no pre-defined project templates available in Zoho Projects. As an administrator you can create project templates suiting your need and use that template while creating new project.

How to use Project Template:

1. Click "+" sign to the right of Project Template title and create a new project template.

2. Add the required tasks & milestones, documents, forums posts and users to the project template.

3. Create new project using the project template (Click 'New Project' option --> enter the project name --> select the required project template --> click 'Add Project' button)

4. New Project will be created and all the data in the template will be included in the project.

uprasanna, 232 - days ago   

@karsten.moerman,

Currently, it is not possible to export a project (as a whole) from Zoho as a backup. Instead you can export Tasks & Milestones, Time sheet data and download the documents.

Exporting a project as a whole is already taken up in our feature list and will be provided in future.

How can I edit the name of resources to include full name. It only allows me to add email address.

uprasanna, 201 - days ago   

Warren,

As of now, it is not possible for a user (including admin) to enter other user's personal profile. Only the user can update his/her personal profile like full name, nick name, contact number.

Recently upgraded from FREE to STANDARD. But we still can't seem to find a way to do two important things:

1 - create a custom task status (as of now, tasks are only "OPEN" or "CLOSED" with no review or in-progress stages

2 - create custom filters, such as the ability to categorize a task or project by company department (e.g. "design," "project management," "integration," etc)

Where is this functionality?

Thanks

William

uprasanna, 197 - days ago   

@william.tyree,

As of now, the task status and filters are defined and it is not possible to create custom task status and filters in Zoho Projects.

Keep your queries/suggestions posted.

Hi, I am new to Zoho and I just started a free account. We started a project almost one month before, but when I have created a new project here, I found that there is no way to me to set the project start date. Am I missed something? or it is this way. thanks. I love the interface, any ways.

uprasanna, 194 - days ago   

@askaratzoho,

Basic design of Zoho Projects is that, the projects are created without start date. Only milestones/tasks in a project have start and end date.
