Same issue over here. We decided to buy TaskManager because MS Project is overkill and less userfriendly.
So:
- We would also like to see task dependencies.
- Sync with MS Projects would be nice for our managers that use Project for high level planning.

We are interested in VIP TAsk Manager Professional because it allows for tasks te be organised in a hierarchical tree. However we like to see these features:
When all tasks in a task group are finished we would like to be able to set a Completed status on the task group itself. This would allow for the creation of a filter that doesn't show completed task groups in the tree view. Otherwise the tree view will grow very fast an become unusable.
We would like to be able to create subtasks on the fly instead of always creating taskgroups in advance. This has the extra advantage that you can create task dependencies: a tasks can only be started/completed when all subtasks are completed.
Looks like what I'm asking for is to make Task Groups the same objects as Tasks. When you create a subtask the task becomes a task group and can get displayed as a folder in the tree view.
(I realise this is a complex feature I'm asking for...).
Regards,
Geert |

I just found a product that has the features I requested: http://www.taskactions.com. It supports creating subtasks and hiding completed items in the tree view.
It would be nice to see these features in Taskmanager because I consider Taskmanager a more powerfull product.

We can confirm that managing hundreds of tasks becomes almost impossible without a search function.
We also like to see a full text search that searches the task title and note field. We use the note field to describe the task in detail, so this is the most import field to search.

We use the 'Estimated time' field on all our tasks to be able to create reports that give us an idea of the total workload. This works fine as long as we specify the estimated times in hours. When specifying this value in days a day in Taskmanager is counted as 24 hours, while our users usually mean work days, which are 8 hours. This makes our reports unusable.
The same issue exists for 'Week', which also counts 24 hours in a day, and 7 days in a week instead of 5 work days. This way 168 hours are accounted for, instead of 40...
Can you translate the 'day'-value to 8 hours instead of 24 hours, or provide another solution to specify the number of hours in a day? Same question for the week-value.
Maybe you can add 'Work day' (= 8 hours) and 'Work week' (= 40 hours) as new time specifiërs. (Optionally you could give us the possibility to specify the numbers of hours in a 'Work day' and 'Work week' in the programs general preferences)?
Thanks a lot,

Hello Serge,
Can you confirm if this issue will be placed on the roadmap? Our users keep making mistakes as a result of this issue. |

Below our task tree root we created 3 groups for 3 subdepartments. Each group has a corresponding role to give permissions. Each employee is member of one role and persmissions are set so only one role has acces to a subdepartment. Only general managers are member of all roles so they have access to all subdepartments.
The problem we have is that employees can assign resources from other departments (roles) to a task. These resouces however won't have access to the task. As a result the user who creates a task thinks the tasks will be handled by the resource he assigned, but the resource doesn't know there's a new task.
It would be nice if the resource window of a task would show which permissions the resources have to the task, for example by showing the permissions in a extra column or using a different text color for the resource name. This whay a user who creates a tasks will know he assigns a resource that has no access or only read-only access to the task. If necessary he can notify the resource, for example by sending the task by e-mail.
Thanks,
Geert |
