Project Team Member Leaving? Traditionally a Pain!

Traditionally when a team member leaves a project before it is completed it’s a pain! Over and above a change to the project team dynamics and relationships, just trying to get a handle on what the team member is involved with, the background and history of each item, the next steps and accessing any documentation is often a time-consuming activity.

New powerful filter control for PPO

We are thrilled to unveil the latest enhancement to the PPO user interface which we believe is the best yet! All lists / tables in PPO now have a single, powerful filter control which replaces the previous list criteria dropdown boxes.

Visualise your data with colour coded custom lists & percentage fields

Three progress bars show 100%, 89%, and 9%. Below them are three labels: “Not Overdue” in green, “Due Soon” in yellow, and “Overdue” in red, indicating task statuses.

We are pleased to introduce our new more colourful percentage fields as well as colour coded custom list items. All percentage fields now show a graphical representation of the percentage with positive percentages showing in green and negative percentages in red.  The absolute value is also highlighted by showing it as a “progress bar”, allowing you to identify items requiring attention at a glance.

We are excited to announce the ability for users to create their own custom skins / colour schemes in PPO. This allows users to create a look for PPO that they find aesthetically pleasing or that matches their corporate colours. In line with this we have also streamlined the number of “standard” skins that are provided.
