We’re thrilled to announce our latest product feature which allows you to apply Color Styling to date fields to highlight whether an item is overdue or due within the next 7 days! This new feature brings visual clarity and efficiency to your project planning and tracking.

Our latest product news feature introduces “setting default values” on all data fields in PPO.

Simply put, default values are pre-populated data inputs that users can either accept or modify.
