Evaluating this fine product and have some questions

- Is there a way that a user can be setup only to see their tasks and not a different user's tasks

- Can a task be dependent on the completion of a second
task ?

- Can a task be broken up to sub tasks

- Is there a way of defining a set of tasks to take place
between a start and end time and then based upon the estimated length of all the tasks, know if it cannot fit in to the alloted time
So if I have 5 tasks and each is estimated to take 5 hours and I set that they should all take place in a 2 day period it would show that the period can not accomodate all this work. Or generally it would show how much work is allocated to a period of time.

Thanks

Steven

Yes, in VIP Task Manager Pro you can create a Task Group for this user and allow him to see the tasks only in this Task Group.

But a category represents related tasks that could be done by 2 different resources and each should not see the other.

Ath the moment no, it is not dependent. How you would like it to work in our application?

Some tasks are dependent upon other tasks so it should be able to be specified as well and be able to view dependency.

As for the estimated time: Yes, I think you can do this if you: 1. Set filter for this time period 2. Activate footer (right click on any column header) 3. Right click on footer under "estimated time" filed and select sum

I see. But can it be done graphicly in the calander?

I tried it and it is a very nice. It seemed to only work when I was grouping tasks. does it work even for non grouped tasks?

Another question, If I set up groupings, filters, columns displayed - is there a way to save this entire setting, with a name which I then can reuse easily to recreate this view?

Thanks

I understand what feature you mean. It is called 'column layout'.

I mean all the settings, column, filter,grouping, footer. Do you see that as doable in the next 2 or 3 months?

We just purchased vip taskmanager pro, (we are really looking forward to using your great product), and would like to move our eval database to a different machine.

Can you outline the steps of how this is done?
