Maximise Collaboration with Conversations & The Feed Widget

As we continue to evolve and refine our project portfolio management tool, we wanted to take a moment to shine a spotlight on Conversations together with the Feed Widget that’s been quietly transforming the way project and product teams collaborate using PPO.

It’s now easier to view & update items

Previously when you viewed feed items or items from your home page PPO may have opened the item in the same tab or in some cases in a new tab. This was dependent on the widget and was confusing to users. We’ve fixed this and now it’s easier and consistent. See how.

Setting default column sort orders

We’ve recently enhanced PPO to allow both administrators (for all user) and users to set their own default column sort orders for each entity. Previously, users could only set a single sort order per entity and administrators could not control the default sort order. In some cases (like tasks) setting a default sort order (ie. task sort order or risk due date) are very useful to users. Furthermore, it could be useful to sort by risk due date and then risk rating to show the risks that are due soonest, followed by their severity. See how these can now be set.

Previously in PPO when conversations were activated for an entity the conversation pane was shown on all view and edit pages for that entity. We’ve now enhanced this to allow you to hide your conversation pane if you’re looking for more screen space or you’re not a regular user of conversations.

Improved Labels for your Donut Widgets
