Improved Color-Coded Date Styling

We’ve enhanced the color-coded date feature in PPO, allowing admins to selectively apply styling to active items, with the color removed once the item is completed or closed

Introducing User Custom List Add Access

We’re excited to introduce user custom list add access. Now, users can add values to your lists without needing admin permissions. This enhancement allows for greater flexibility and convenience.

PDF your Home Page

We’re excited to introduce a new feature that allows you to create a PDF of your customised dashboard views with just one click. This enhancement is designed to make sharing your personalised data insights easier and more efficient.

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.

Hiding Conversations

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.

Digitising Project Outputs

While some Project Portfolio Management (PPM) tools automate some of the required project and portfolio status report, when we developed PPO we automated a number of the key project management documents that an organisation would mandate their project managers to complete.

Reflecting on our 19th Year (one of our busiest!)

As we bid farewell to another year, I look back with immense pride at our team and the progress we’ve made. 2023 was a year that we chose to focus on accelerating our product roadmap to improve and enhance PPO.

Things to consider when introducing Timesheets

It’s common practice for the project management office (PMO) to be tasked with introducing timesheets for the organisation’s projects. Irrespective of why timesheets are required, we’ve put together a few things for the PMO to consider.

Dashboards Receive a Major Upgrade

Today we have deployed the new PPO dashboards with an improved chart component which now includes new graph types (activity, gullet and gauge graphs) and support for drill down, click throughs, zoom and much much more…
