Save your Tasks as reusable Projects
We know it's a pain having to recreate your tasks each time you start a new project, with our new project saving feature you won't have to. You can now save your different projects for reuse simply by clicking 'Save as application' in the options menu on any project you own. These saved project applications can then be shared with other company members and incorporated into their own project workspaces. When you load a project application you are given the option to reset the task start date and other task properties.



  • Save a project's tasks as a application
  • Share the saved projects with your team
  • Reset the tasks properties inline with the new task criteria

To save a project click on the options button on the project and select 'Save as application' fill out the details and submit the application to your companies Solution Center for approval by your company administrator. Applications can be share with everyone in your company or for select people.

The grey bar by default reflects the number of online users. Clicking on the bar enables you to select a user you would like to start chatting with.

If the grey bar isn't visible you can turn it on by going to Profile & Settings - > Edit Details - > Enable Chat, or if you are part of a company account then please contact your company administrator to turn this feature on. Company Administrators can enable the chat company wide by going to Profile & Settings -> Company Managements, including the option to override this feature for individual company members.

How do I start a chat?
  • Through the Chat bar on the bottom right of your browser
  • Within a workspace, via the network online panel on the left side of the page
  • On a user's profile page. A chat button will be visible if the user is online
Who's online/offline?
  • Online users are indicated by a darker grey coloured font
  • When a user is offline, this font turns to a lighter shade of grey
