A quick video showing how you can move your task from one task list to another in your DeskAway account…

PS: You cannot move a task if you are inside any particular task list.

A couple of small fixes…

Fixed: Blank Milestone Showing Overdue:
Milestones which had no tasks and issues but having deadline (which had passed) were showing under the ‘Overdue’ section. Technically, the Milestone should not show up as Overdue since it does not have any work under it. This confused some of you and hence we applied a simple fix. Now, it will show up under the On going section of the Milestone page.

Fixed: Live LinksLinks under Task List and Task Description
Add any URL while creating a task list or a task and that should be automatically be converted to a link. Clicking on the link will open up the page in a new window.

We are glad to introduce some small features today. We hope these will help your team to simplify work and help you manage your projects better.

Make this page my starting page:

Now you can make any page within DeskAway your starting page. Working a lot on one of your projects? Simply set that page as your starting page so that you are directly taken to the project overview section whenever you log in. Scroll down to the bottom of your DeskAway account (the footer section) to set your starting pages.

Sort Tasks:

Earlier we could only sort tasks manually from the task re-order page. Now you can automatically sort your task by Deadlines or by Priority.

To make it easy to sort through the team members with in a project we have added new filters on the project team page. The default ‘Team’ view within a project only shows active people. Earlier, it listed everyone that were in your DeskAway account.

Add time on task details page:

Previously you could only add time to a task from the Task List page. Now the time spent can be also added from the Task details page. We hope this improves your work-flow without clicking the ‘back’ button everytime you want to add time to a task from the task details page.

Manage this team link:

A tiny enhancement. We have added a new link called “Manage this team” on the Project Overview page below the list of current team members within the project.

Hope you enjoy these features!

Tasks can be easily moved from one Task List to another provided they are in the same project.

1. Navigate to the “Task List” page

2. Click on a Task that you want to move to another Task List.
3. Click on the “Move” link

4. A drop-down will appear listing all your existing Task Lists.
5. Select the Task List that you would want to move this Task to.

That’s it! The task will be moved immediately. This is great for doing a brain-dump first (getting all tasks under 1 Task List) and then moving things around after you figured out how you are going to categorize the Tasks.
