It seems that tasks really needed some improvement. You made it very clear - something had to be done. Although we liked loved the simplicity of the current solution, we knew you needed more firepower. So, out with the old? Not really. We kept the old "task list" with a few minor tweaks and also added a separate, even more powerful task management module. If you need it - use it!
Checklists module
We renamed the "task list" to "checklist". You define a list of tasks and go through them. Simple? Quite...
Tasks can now also have priorities and due dates. You can assign a task to anyone, a single user or a group of users. Also, the interface is more usable and looks far better:
Tickets module
Of all the things in activeCollab, tickets are the feature that the team has used the most. Tickets are bigger tasks that may require subtasking, team discussion or client approval. Need more information, screenshots, related documents? Here is what you get:
- Tickets can have priorities, due dates and multiple assignees just like tasks
- A full description field and support for unlimited file attachments lets you provide everything and the kitchen sink
- You can comment on tickets
- You can subscribe to ticket changes and get notified when a ticket's status changes or someone posts a comment
- Tickets can behave just like a checklist and have an unlimited number of tasks attached to it
- Use ticket categories to organize them with ease
And don't forget to subscribe to our newsletter. When activeCollab launches, you'll be the first to know!
