Interface

Project Manager's interface is arranged in a file explorer style to allow you to organise projects and sub projects, and track tasks all at the same time.

Everything happens from within a single web page meaning you don't have to wait for a new page to load everytime you want to get something done.

Organising projects

Project Manager allows you to organise projects in a heirarchy of parent projects and sub projects. A context menu allows you to create, move and delete projects quickly. Projects can also be dragged and dropped to new locations.

The project tree is loaded on demand so extremely large project trees are easily handled by the system.

Enter details of your project and define targets for measuring performance. Quickly close all tasks in a project by adding a closed date to the project.

Finding Tasks

You can use use powerful filters to find tasks. Tasks can be filtered by project, task number, assignment, satus, priority, matching phrases and more.

Once a list of tasks is loaded they can be sorted by any column and browsed at leisure. Select a task to examine its detail and make amendments.

Tracking progress

Track the progress of tasks and who they are assigned to.

Define targets for measuring performance.

Drill into assignments and record timesheet data.

Documentation

Add release notes and attach documents to your tasks to enrich the quality of your records.

Release notes (on the Response tab) can be exported in batch with other tasks to quickly build a readme or release notes file for your project.

Cross Reference

Cross reference / link tasks to each other. Then quickly navigate from task to task through a network of cross references.

Concurrent use

Use the system concurrently safe in the knowledge that simultaneous edits to the same record won't unwittingly overwite eachother.

See the changes made by other users and use the conflict resolution tool to merge the differences before attempting to save again.

Statistics

Export the raw data for further analysis in your favourite reporting tool.

Export

Export data from the system in a variety of formats, including CSV, XML and raw text. Use raw text to generate release notes.

Control

Set up your own sequence numbers for tasks.

Maintain your associates, including creating ad-hoc associates (ones not managed through Datawing) so that you can get up and running more quickly.
