Introducing hyperlinks for Conversations!

Since launching Conversations in 2022 we have made several improvements including adding the notification count and alerts, adding conversations to Time Entries, Marking Items as Unread and Automated Emails for Unread Feed Items.
Good news! We have made another improvement by allowing you to add a hyperlink to your conversations!

Introducing Colour Coding on Key Metrics!

With the introduction of the Key Metric Widget we promised additional improvements and asked you to keep sending us your ideas. Good news! We have delivered on this promise! You can now apply different colours to your Key Metrics based on certain conditions or ranges.

Missed the What’s new in PPO webinar? Watch the recording…

While we’re being honest, our DevOps team loves the excitement of bringing our clients new features, but the real reward is in seeing our users adopt new ways of work and improve collaboration within their PMOs. And that’s where the PPO Product Webinars come in. Whether you’re just getting started with PPO, or you’re a seasoned user, there’s always something new to discover and ways to improve! So make sure that you’ve “saved the date” for this year’s remaining product webinars.

A new Key Metric Widget is now available on List Pages

So far, we’ve brought you the Chart Widget (Donuts & Tree maps) and visualising and interacting your lists has never been easier. But it hasn’t stopped there. Our new Key Metric Widget is the latest widget and it’s inching us closer to a configurable home page.

Introducing Conversations on Time Entries, Marking Items as Unread and Automated Emails for Unread Feed Items

Since launching Conversations in 2022, it’s become a popular collaboration feature among project teams. So, we’ve added an improvement that will make your day-to-day life easier, specifically for capturing Time Entries. You’ll notice that when the “Items I updated this week” filter under Options is applied on the Time Entries page, your time sheet is pre-populated with items where you’ve started or replied to a Conversation, in addition to the entity updates.

Pick up where you left off after session time-out

Ever lose track of time and experience a session time out and lose data? Well, you’re not the only one and we’ve got you covered! Now, with our latest feature, you can easily get back to what you were working on as PPO now remembers and restores your data on add and edit pages for 24 hours.

Check out the 60-second video that demonstrates this awesome time saving feature.

New notification count, template project improvements and more!

We spent most of 2022 encouraging our users to log new product ideas and accelerating the development of new features. This allowed us to fine tune existing functionality and introduce new features – all based on valuable user feedback. From List Widget, Chart Widget, Conversations & Feed Widget, Business Intelligence (BI) API and Exporting your PPO lists in one click, we hope that you’re finding value in these awesome enhancements.

Try filtering and adding charts using RAG fields!

The table widget (that’s the widget that brought you improved filtering on list pages) is one of our core widgets and based on user feedback, we’ve added the ability to filter all list Pages using RAG (Red, Amber & Green) fields. Plus, this improvement extends to the chart widget! You can now add charts using RAG fields to your list pages.

PPO Features that we’ve introduced (and loved) in 2022!

At the start of the year, we made a commitment to accelerate the development of new features and enhancements to ensure that the product keeps moving forward. Our DevOps team has been working tirelessly to bring new features, some small but all mighty in improving your user experience. The journey started with the introduction of our first widget which brought you interactive Gantt views, improved filter controls, improved formatting and general usability improvements. There’s no question that 2022 was a year of awesome new features but let’s recap some of our more recent enhancements.

Working with Widgets on List Pages

Our widget journey continues with the introduction of the interactive donut and tree map chart widgets. These new widgets make it easier for users to visualise their data in the list with less clicks.  You’ll of course still have access to dashboards for graphical representation of your data. Check out this short video aimed at PPO users that covers how to set up these widgets on list pages and restore default settings.
