Administer @task

@task has an extensive set of system administration features that let you customize every aspect of a user account. @task lets you:

• Fully customize permissions - You can create user permission sets that allow users to add, edit, view, delete, or change the status of any @task object on multiple levels. @task access levels are designed to meet your exact need.
• Create user job roles - @task comes with a predefined set of job roles designed to meet the needs of many organizations. However, if your company has a unique job role not listed in the current set, you can design and create a new job role and add it to the list.
• Organize users into companies and organizations and create organization charts - With @task, users who need to log into your application may not all belong to your company. Or, you may have users from your subsidiary companies who log in to @task. If you have users from different organizations, you can organize them by company. Users in a company can be placed into organization charts and linked with managers and subordinates.
• Create custom forms - You can create tailored forms to capture and store data in conjunction with your projects, tasks, and issues. You can keep track of any statistic and capture information or get feedback on any topic. With @task's easy-to-use interface, you can do this without writing any computer code.
• Manage event notifications - Any event in @task can trigger an event notification. Managers and users can know immediately when something occurs that affects them, their projects, or their tasks.
• Manage schedules - You can build schedules for any circumstance and apply them globally, to projects and to individuals. @task keeps track of all your schedules and set the project time frames accordingly.
• Create different types of hours for billing - If your employees work on different projects for different clients at the same time, you need a way to keep track of how much time an employee spent on each project so that you can bill clients properly. @task gives you this capability by letting you customize your timesheets. You can keep track of hours spent on any activity including travel time, sick time, holidays, or any other hour type.
• Manage system settings - @task has features to let you customize your system settings. You can change everything from the way your lists look to the page that a user sees upon logging into @task. You can even change the size of the application screens to optimize the look and functionality of @task.

Manage User Accounts and Set Up Organizations

@task gives you several options in setting up users, groups, and organizations. A user can be a member of a group, and have a specific job role assigned to him. You can assign specific permissions to users or job roles, and then place them in groups. You can then assign the groups that you create to projects. The members of the groups work in their projects in accordance with their assigned user permissions. This lets you assign groups with some members that have read-only permissions, some with permissions to work only within their assigned task sets, and some with management responsibilities who have full permissions within the scope of their projects.

You can also create organization charts for all users with links to supervisors and subordinates. This can be used within organizations to access names, phone numbers and other information about employees, customers and contacts.

Manage System Environments

@task has tools to customize the default interface that your users see and several of the system settings that they use. Some of the features include the following:

• You can create custom views to show users the exact information that they need.
• You can create new tabs on the application screens and populate the new screens with any data that you choose.
• You can manipulate password settings to ensure that users create secure passwords.
• You can manipulate portal settings to customize the screens that users see when they log in.
• You can set email preferences.

There are many other settings that you can manipulate as well.

@task gives you broad control over your application settings and functions, letting you make @task into the optimal project management tool for your organization.
