BaseEscape is a tool that we developed in order to facilitate smooth transfer of your data from your Basecamp account to DeskAway. Below are the fixes and updates we carried out this week from the feedback we recieved from users.
1. Error checking to see if the imported xml file is valid.
2. Fixed a caching issue that would not allow users to upload the xml file if an error was found while parsing the file.
3. Basecamp retains data in their system (which is available in your exported xml file) for deleted users - time sheet entries, messages, milestones and/or task lists. BaseEscape is now importing this data and will disable the deleted user in your DeskAway account. This way you will know what milestone was assigned to Rita, who no longer can access the system.
4. Fix div tag displays after importing.
5. Better error messages to help you understand why your import didn’t work.
6. Fixing of milestone progress status which somtimes showed “(0% complete: 0/0 Task, 0/0 Issue)”.
7. Free plans cannot see the BaseEscape link. BaseEscape is only allowed for Personal, Professional, Plus or Power plans.

We took a look at five of the top Web-based project management and collaboration tools that can help nonprofits and other organizations get stuff done. These tools are productivity boosters, regardless of whether your staffers work in the same office or if your team wants to engage supporters in far-flung locations.
Who doesn’t want to be an office hero. It’s is your turn now by checking out the 5 absolutely smart things you can do with DeskAway while managing any project:
Track Problems
Every project (heck, everything in life) has problems and if you don’t track them they are only going to get bigger and bigger.
Why duplicate work when you can automate easily? Projects that repeat themselves can be easily cloned and re-used. Think ‘web design’, ’seo’, ’social media’ or internal projects like ‘HR’, ‘General administration’ or ‘Event Management.’
Whoever said that the best of both worlds cannot be possible? For those who love being in their inbox, why not also delegate work to your colleagues (via email) and still have the stuff tracked within DeskAway?
