Introducing Interactivity to our Boards!

We’ve now made using the board so much easier by providing you the ability to edit the data on the cards without having to go to a new page, and YES, you guessed it, drag & drop of the cards!

You’re probably already familiar with how quickly your feed can fill up in PPO. Like when you’ve just returned from a long but well- deserved break or when you’ve already clicked the first notification and caught up on the related comments and replies. With our new “Mark All Related as Read ” feature, you can quickly reduce the items that are filling up your PPO feed.

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

A desktop computer with colorful folders emerging from its screen sits on a split pink and blue desk, surrounded by a keyboard, mouse, cup of pencils, and a yellow lamp, against a yellow background.

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.

Say Hello to the New Customisable Home Page

After months of hard work, we’re delighted to unveil PPO’s customisable home page! Until now, all information on your Home Page was displayed in tables only. It’s time to say goodbye to lists and tables and hello to a new visualised view of your portfolio, project and project related items.

Selecting multiple values in a list just got easier!

We are excited to announce that we have improved the list controls in PPO! You can now select multiple values in Lists when using the Filter Control on all List Pages! Watch the short video!

Recap of the Customisable Home Page Product Webinar

In our final new feature webinar for 2023, the configurable home page, multiple filter selection and BI API enhancements were showcased. If you couldn’t make it to the live webinar, well, the good news is that we recorded the session, so you can still take advantage of everything we learned!
