When you work on Projects, more often there is a need to send out common messages to all those involved in that particular project. These messages could be general guidelines, motivational messages, specific information related to design or development or team party invites

Did you know that on DeskAway, it’s possible to send out common messages to people involved in specific Projects?

Here’s where you can find Messages:

You can Add Categories and tag each message to a category, making it easy to organize. You can even choose to send the message out to only a few people in the team.Teammates can respond to the message by adding their comments to it. Thus keeping all related thoughts to that topic under one message thread.

Times are tough for businesses all around the world. What you need now is an efficient way to run your workplace. Here are 5 ways in which we think DeskAway can help.

1. Pay as you go - Why not pay a smaller amount over a few months rather than a one time initial payment? This will be light on your pocket and will give you enough steam to get through the tough times. Better yet, try the free plan as long as you can and only upgrade when you need more horsepower.

2. Cut down on IT & other peripheral costs - Since there is nothing to download or install you can do it on your own. You can pretty much run your entire business with DeskAway and a couple of other online tools. We use DeskAway, iContact, Google Apps, WordPress etc. to run our business. This is the best time to get your non-technical people involved with web tools.

3. Free Upgrades - Paying for upgrades is expensive. With DeskAway, we upgrade our software once a month and its absolutely free. Wake up the next morning, login to your account and enjoy the new features instantly!

4. Less email clutter - Your team and you are as it is frustrated with cutting costs and the last thing you want to do is to manage your projects via old-school email. Wouldn’t you wish you had a system that would remind your team when things are due? Or even give you a consolidated view of your work progress daily?

5. Increase productivity & efficiency - When your team works in a systematic-manner, things get done as planned. More work gets done in less time. There is less confusion and everyone is happy. You have a smooth functioning workplace.

We would love to hear if DeskAway has helped you in any other way.

3. You can close this drop down option by clicking on the red colored “Cancel” button next to it.
4. Or, you can select a Project and DeskAway will take you to the same section of the selected Project.

An email “Reminder” is a daily email notification of all your Overdue & Approaching Projects, Milestones, Tasks & Issues that are assigned to you.

You can set a daily reminder by selecting the preferred time  (morning, noon, evening or night) & clicking on the “Update Reminder” button. Removing a reminder is as easy as setting it.

A Super User can control everyone’s personal reminders from the Settings Tab. So, next time you have a slacking team member, turn on his/her email reminder so that he/she is reminded daily.
