This blog will be covering QG Software news.

Within 5pm the Timeline View provides a Gantt-style chart for managing your projects schedule. Now you can not just view, but also drag-and-drop tasks and projects to alter their beginning and ending dates!.

If you would like to see how the Timeline view can help you to organize and update your projects and tasks, please feel free to take a look at our short video tutorial.

As we all wrap it in this week at the office, how is your project management software helping or hindering? Do you find the tools you’ve been using make it easy to keep an eye on the highest priorities and ensure it all gets taken care of before you head out to the Christmas party?

There are an infinite number of ways to handle project management, each with their own strengths and weaknesses relating to the size of your projects and the teams you work within. With any luck, you’re able to get it all taken care of in one central location, quickly and easily, so you can get back to focusing on your work. Your project management tool should be so intuitive you need barely think about changing your start and end dates when that last minute task gets pushed back over the annual Christmas shut-down. You need to be able to quickly drag-and-drop your tasks when date estimates change due to the holiday rush, and this is a good time to consider whether or not your existing software makes that another little headache for you to deal with. Whether you’re team is using Scrum and Agile, or you’re still working through Waterfall methods, your tool needs to stand up and flexibly handle changing priorities.

We just introduced 5pm automatic email reminders. By setting auto-reminders on through the settings window, you will ensure 5pmweb stars sending you a daily email with all your tasks. Today’s tasks will be shown along with those that are overdue, so you can stay on time with all your important to do items. Take a closer look at this hot new feature.

Email notifications in 5pm are handy for notifying your team members about updates or comments you made. Now, if your comments contain files, you can attach those to the email notifications, so your team can check them without logging into 5pm. Just make sure to keep your attachments small (up to 2Mb) - a lot of servers don’t accept large ones.

Having too many old projects and tasks in your 5pm account? Then you will love the new auto-archive feature!

Sooner or later your task list is going to get full, and you don’t want to bother with all those tasks you’ve completed long ago. Be sure to try auto-archiving, so those tasks that are long-gone won’t get in the way anymore. By default when Auto-archive is checked, items 14 days or older will be hidden. However, you can also go in to your Settings menu and change the default to any number of days you like. Depending on your projects you may wish to see tasks for the past month or for the past year, and you can easily take a look using the Auto-archive feature.

Take a look at the screen shot and more details on how to use this handy dandy feature..

If you have more than one person using your 5pm account simultaneously, you may find the auto-refresh feature very helpful. It constantly checks the server for updates and refreshes your screen with the latest data. It all happens in the background - you may not even notice it, since a small icon in the top right corner is the only thing that gives it away.

We added the same functionality to the Timeline view. There is no need to reload it manually anymore. The latest data is always on the screen - either in the main view or in the Timeline!

Today we updated 5pm with a bunch of new features. The most exciting of which is the possibility to drag-and-drop the things around. Now you can simply drag a task from a project to another or drag messages and files between projects and tasks. You can even drag objects into a trash box icon for a quick way to delete them.

We just added the possibility to print out the 5pm Timeline (Gantt-like view). Now you can have it on paper for your meetings, frame it above your desk, or use it in any other offline activities.

5pm allows team members to log the time they spend on tasks through Progress Reports. Now they can also change the date of those logs. This feature was requested by users who prefer to log their hours at the end of the week - not on the same day.
