dashboard for managers
Show more... ...Show less

As the manager, I would like to have the option of showing the activity on all the projects on the dashboard. I would especially like to see all the items that are approaching or late.

The BaseCamp does this but their implementation is a bit overwhelming when there are many open projects.

New Feature - Add tasks and reply to task comments via email
Show more... ...Show less

This was one of the most widely requested feature in the last 6 months and we are finally bringing it to you by the name of DeskMail!

DeskMail is a service by DeskAway that helps you communicate with your projects via email. DeskMail will allow you and your team to add tasks and reply to task comments via email. If you are using email on your smartphones (iPhone, Blackberry etc.) you can easily email out tasks to your team members (just like you would normally) and still have a copy of it stored on your DeskAway account. When people reply to those tasks (by sending you an email), new comments are added to the task on DeskAway and the entire communication thread can be tracked within your projects.

In a nutshell, this is how it works...

Can I email updates to projects in DeskAway?
Show more... ...Show less

I may want to send an email to a project to comment on a task, file, or project. Could I compose an email or reply to a notification? An example might be
To: TaskName@projectname.deskaway.com
From: me@wherever.com
John, we are negotiating changes. Please do not start on the task until you get approval from Bill. He is in California now with the client.

Why is it not possible to assign tasks to limited users? The description of limited users seem to indicate that they can handle tasks.

Thumbnail previews for graphic files.
Show more... ...Show less

I think it would be great if there were thumbnail previews of graphic files. It would be very helpful to be able to quickly glance at the list of images instead of having to click into each file in order to view it.

Thanks,
Jonah

Implement tags (better categories)
Show more... ...Show less

This is almost done now in the form of "categories" for projects, departments, and blogs, as well as in messages. Why not just make the same list of categories (tags) available to all items system-wide. So tasks, tasks lists, issues, messages, docs, files, milestones, blogs, and projects all could all be tagged with a consistent list of categories.

Others have asked for things such as % completion and status of tasks (http://getsatisfaction.com/deskaway/t...). This would make these things possible as well, but only to those who want them, and allow the interface to DeskAway to be as simple or detailed as each company requires.

Thanks for listening,
Corey

Option to filter so that only today's tasks show on screen
Show more... ...Show less

It would be great if there was a way for my employees to be able to filter it so it only shows their tasks for the day. I have several projects scheduled days in advance and don't want them to get confused with several days work showing up on the same screen.

reordering tasks should be easier , it should be done in the same window where entering the tasks. There are a lot of design issues like this, a lot of clicking to get thing done.

Formatting error to task editing
Show more... ...Show less

When i edit a task that i have previously saved the format and shape of the body of text is completely lost. For exampl if i were to have previously saved

(i) blah blah blah
(ii)blah blah blah

*Then saved, no problem the format would stay like this.

However when i go back into the task and edit it the body of text loses its previous shape e.g if i were to add (iii) blah blah blah below the previous two it would look like this

(i) blah blah blah (ii) blah blah blah (iii) blah blah blah.

Any suggestions to why this may be happening? It is frustrating as it does not make the task look very clear

Feature Request: Post comments to a message via email
Show more... ...Show less

Did a search but did not see this brought up. Have you considered adding the functionality that allows a user to respond directly via email to a system notification of a message and the contents of that email are then entered into DeskAway as a message comment? They rolled this out with Basecamp in April and it's awesome. Thoughts?
