Many widgets support further configuration so you can make sure that they only display the information that you need, in the way you want to see it.
More than One Home Screen: Configure one or more screens with different sets of widgets and use them to get different perspectives of your work. Each alternative home screen is displayed as a tab on the first page, so they are always just a click away.

For example, messages can become tasks or discussions in specific projects, or moved directly to Trash in the case of spam messages or auto-responders.

Collaboration, Simplified: Imagine that you're working on a homepage redesign for your client's website. By using the sharing feature in activeCollab, you can easily upload a project proposal and invite your clients to review it. They will receive a link to a protected webpage where they can see your work and provide the feedback.
