3. Tip of the Month

Easy Projects .NET allows you to specify additional information for a project or a task by using custom fields.
For example, if you want to be able to retrieve information about all Ongoing projects, you should go to the Administration -> Custom Fields; enter "Ongoing" as a field name value, and select Boolean (True / False) as a field type.
After that the "Ongoing" checkbox will be present in the details of existing and new projects.
In addition, the "Ongoing" field will be available in the Report Generator, so you can design a report that will show all projects where Ongoing value is set to True.

5. Testimonial of the Month

"The Salvation Army Employment Plus is the largest Job Network provider in Australia, drawing on more than 100 years of employment services experience through The Salvation Army.

With the large information systems infrastructure and over 100 offices across Australia - it is important for us to maintain appropriate level of IS projects integration and management.

After investigations and reviewing many software packages, we have found the Easy Projects.NET a very flexible tool, allowing us to manage technical projects and related documents in easy and intuitive way - without unwanted overhead.

Easy Projects .NET allows to follow any project management methodology, and to create project templates which can be copied for fast creation of new project structures. Flexible email notification system is very helpful for managing virtual workgroups and minimise the need for any other reminders.

Built in bug and issue tracking system makes the package a complete, out of the box system - easy to install and use, with very little training required for end users.

We use the system for several months, with the view to extend its application to other non IS projects in the future. "
