@Scott - to highlight overdue projects we need to add start and due date for projects and define when a project is considered overdue. Regarding adding what is shown - we have just released new calendar and I will add project name and project group name to Agenda and Daily views where we have space to show them. In the monthly view, you can see project name when you click on an item.

@Mark - please my note above. Please also note that we add project and project group name to calendar links and data we push to Google Calendar via GSync so you can always use this and see this info in your external calendar if it can display long titles

@Sasha-Shae - it only looks to be as simple as in Discussions.
We need to rewrite essentially all Tasks and Milestones to make sure that a milestone cannot be assigned to a person who can not see some private tasks in that milestone, add extra validations that you can not add a private subtask to a task whose assignee cannot see that private subtask and about 100 other use cases.

Without subtasks and linked to Tasks applications - Milestones, Time etc - I agree it would be relatively easy.

Note: This feature was requested in 2012 and only 137 people voted for it. About 800 people join Freedcamp daily.

If this is a must-have functionality and you can not use a separate project to track customer tasks I would honestly and respectfully suggest finding another system with an ability to handle private tasks.

@Mateusz - see feature status to check if it is completed or not. Completed features has status ... "Completed" :)

@Caroline

I think concept of making private tasks from your coworkers in a project is very questionable to be in demand. I hear about it for the first time. Can you give us a use case please?

Cheers,
Igor

Question for @miamitrievents.com girls and guys.

Hi,

Could you please explain what exactly is a main and very important reason which would be incredible to have? :)

Cheers

Please explain your ideal workflow here or email help@freedcamp.com if you do not want to share publicly. How exactly do you want to integrate with MailChimp is the main question.

The easiest way for us is to add required Zapier actions/triggers and searches. MailChimp already integrates with Zapier

I have been using viewflux.com to collaborate on screenshots, design elements etc. I would love to see something like this on Freedcamp. It provides you the ability to upload an image and point out specific elements that are connected with comments

Let's start with start/due date. Please note if you email in into the free plan project - start date will be ignored.

Add the following into email subject:

->15/08/18 This is my email subject line

- this will create a task with a due date

15/08/18-> This is my email subject line

- this will create a task with a start date

15/08/18<->20/08/18 This is my email subject line

- this will create a task with a start date and a due date

@Maikol - no ETA at this stage, sorry about it.

@Veronique - most likely after when Freedcamp calendar will have drag and drop, resize functions as well ability to show multiday events as lines

@ColBird - please check here https://freedcamp.com/Freedcamp_LxR/Freedcamp_Devel_yOf/wiki/wiki_public/view/fhaab#sharing-calendars

We are launching ability to filter Freedcamp Calendar (optional), name it as you like and push to Google Calendar next release.

Ability to do above from Calendar board.

You can push the same calendar twice to Google. Share one with those who need to see content and share another one in see free/busy time only (Google Calendar provides this option) and share this calendar with those who do not need to see particulars.

Cheers,
Igor

@Alexey - do you want Google tasks in Freedcamp or one sync link from Freedcamp to Google (this is what we are about to finish and release)?

Cheers,
Igor

Thanks for examples - please keep posting. We will definitely look into it as soon as Freedcamp calendar has all features GCalendar has.

"Try Bitrix24"

Thanks - I will

Hi,

Thanks for posting. We actually plan how we sync Freedcamp items to external calendars making it more universal - you will copy a link in Freedcamp and paste it to Google Calendar, iCal or Outlook. Once done we can do the same the other way around to allow you to copy a link in external Calendar and paste it to Freedcamp calendar. Freedcamp will poll periodically these links to update external events.

Totally agree - it will make it easier to start using Freedcamp's calendar instead. Add ability to share available times publicly so people can book you in and you have a perfect system.

Cheers,
Igor
Best Regards,
Igor

It is not broken. A lot of systems have it done one way. We will definitely improve it but no ETA, sorry.

@Neal - even here at Freedcamp this is not the case. We start a task often and add subtasks later to branch out while a top-level task is still NOT a container and should not be closed but a signal for an assignee (say developer) that specification (subtask), design (subtask) are completed and he/she can continue doing top-level task.

@Jody - thanks for sharing. This is a way to go, for now.

@Jody - best way will be to create a GDrive folder, allow read-only access and create Wiki pointing to it with explanations. Create projects from Template having this Wiki already inside the template (Business plan only) or just create Wiki by copy/pasting in each new project.

Do not forget to add new members as shared with on GDrive.

@Jody - thanks for clarifications. We were just thinking opposite - you go to Notifications page and check and mark red updates from all projects. You can also filter and do them one by one if you want. Compare this to going to each project and check left side panel for new updates - many more frictions here.

@Jaden - please email help@freedcamp.com with your Freedcamp email and we will add it in. You missed the status update on the main feature request page here - https://freedcamp.uservoice.com/forums/126945-suggestions-for-features/suggestions/9183044-integration-with-zapier - it contains instructions

No progress - sorry. Starting Tasks and Time integration instead in Freedcamp + better integration with Invoices to track what time was billed and/or paid easily across all projects with various options as to pay/bill for completed tasks only, time worked by a period (last month) etc.

Hi David,

Thanks for posting.

We adding time logging for tasks now with next step - linking our own time tracking with TODO's time logs.

Basically you can just manually add time to TODOs and/or see them in Time Tracking app and start/stop/resume from it as well.

@Penny - thanks for posting! Do you know that you can remove all application except Files? So it will be a project group 'Team files and documents' with a project having the same name and Files only app added to it. Maybe Wikis (if makes sense?) can be added and if you are on Business plan. You can also add Discussions to have all unrelated to any project conversations in there too.

It was not implemented.

We will be adding Spaces concept so you can add project group to Spaces and filter out and see only Work 1 or only Work 2 or only Private Spaces but you can allso remove filtering by Space and see it all together.

@Milt - not yet possible, sorry about it.

Do you mean showing all invited people? CRM is a project group application - so in this case - showing all people invited to projects in that project group?

@Tina - handled with a direct email to you

@Jonathan - yes. https://freedcamp.com/Freedcamp_LxR/Freedcamp_Devel_yOf/wiki/wiki_public/view/oyaab

All we have - https://freedcamp.com/marketplace

@Charles - you can collapse all subtasks and we do show not a progress bar but 3/5 which means 3 subtasks are completed from 5 existing.

Otherwise, system's becomes just unmanageable - you can have 5 subtasks and a bullet list attached to a task with 10 entries and now there is a need to show two progress bars etc.

I will keep this idea posted to see traction.

Add bullet list to task's description and use strikethrough to mark completed? :)
Cheers
Igor

We launched new Manage System which currently allows you to see all users per project group in addition to per project. Global Teams - to simplify users management. The new option was also added under cogwheel icon on manage Systems page to export all users in your account as XLS.

Further improvements will be introduced later this year and are in the works right now.

@Simeon - how about using new Home page, New Notifications page and new Daily Recap email and turning emails off for instant updates entirely?

We will definitely combine updates on the same item made in 30 min chunks into a single email this year but I can not provide any ETA yet

@Leesa - task can be completed without In Progress by two ways. Edit a task and set status 'complete'. In tasks list view drag 'completed' label from right and drop it to a task. In Kanban view you can drag task from left column to right column bypassing middle column.

I agree - we might need to add ability to set status 'complete' when you add task and select complete date and change icon clicking cycling between no progress-> in progress -> completed to be a drop down to select needed status.

At this stage I would suggest to ask team not to use icon clicking for tasks bypassing In Progress status and using ways I described above.

I also wrote this blog post explaining how one can only get new comments on tasks to inbox and archive all other emails to a different folder as read. It is easy to extend by adding 'Assigned to: Igor K." into your filter to also have all updates to tasks you work on to inbox and avoid getting status updates on team tasks not assigned to you.

Cheers,
Igor

@Krystal - did you check https://freedcamp.com/Freedcamp_LxR/Freedcamp_Devel_yOf/wiki/wiki_public/view/Xzbab (the 1st picture) - you can reorder easily both - project groups and projects?

Cheers,
Igor

Have the ability to view projects in different ways besides just large tiles. A list view, date added view, date of completion view, by importance, by lack of progress.

Something like this? - https://www.dropbox.com/s/m1yw3q9i2nyja3v/Dashboard_list_view.png?dl=0
