Add task to calendar
Fri, 07/03/2009 - 03:33 — sandervp
Great tool!Is this tool still being worked on? If so, when is it expected to have 'add task to calendar' functionality? I really miss that in order to do decent timetracking. Another option is to inlcude the time spend on tasks in the timecard. Thanks,Sander

Creating Project Templates
This is a great tool. Is there any plans to add functionality that would allow users to save a project as a template and use it to create similar projects later? Thanks.
Project Templates
I've been thinking about how to do that - my current conundrum is what to do with relative tasks, i.e. if a task is a sub-task of another task and both tasks have a 'due date', how to carry forward that timing into a template. Not quite sure yet how to do that, we're working on it!
Tool Releases
Yes - the tool is a work in progress and will have a new release (looking at the end of the summer).
Also - regarding add task to calendar, there are a few ways to do that now:
1) open the task and click on the 'To Calendar' button
2) in the 'Calendar' or 'My Organizer' views - make sure you can view the tasks under each day, then drag the task onto the calendar. Outlook will create a new appointment categorized to the same project as the task
3) When the Organizer Pane is visible, right-click on any task and open the 'Schedular...' - the dialog allows the use to schedule the task to any day (which sets the Due Date to that day) or Schedule the Work, which creates an appointment on the selected day with the same subject as the task subject. The appointment length is the Total work time minus the Actual work time in the task details tab.
Regarding time tracking for the task - the tool will always use the calendar items for time tracking. This avoids any potential double counting of work scheduled on the calendar and actual work time in the task.
