Clients

For Admins: Click “More Configuration Options” on the right and then choose “Preferences” to adjust the color scheme and other general properties of your account. Afterwards, come back to this screen use the two buttons on the right to create a new project and to invite more people.

Project

This is your new project. Get started quickly and create e-Mails and Tasks or upload Files using the buttons on the right.

For Admins: Best way to start a project is to

• go to Tasks, create Tasklists and assign due dates (e.g. “Private Beta: 1 April 2009″, “Official Release: 1 June 2009″)
• adjust Categories in e-Mails and Files
• add new members to this project (people in your company, external companies, customers, …)
• create an e-Mail to introduce everyone to the project and to each other
• … repeat/update every week …

Tasks

Shown above are default tasklists that were automatically created with this project. You can change the name and due date by clicking on the list’s name. Assign due dates to Tasklists and add Tasks as you go along. Tasks can be moved around freely using drag-and-drop. You can also drag them from one list to any other. Tasks assigned to you are highlighted. A Task with “…” at the end indicates that more information is available when clicking on the title of the Task (maybe an instruction of how to complete it or a list of sub-Tasks).

Userfiles

Click the button on the right to upload a new file. Use Categories to organise your files.

Use Files to:

• share specifications
• transmit and deliver content
• backup data

Take the time to add a short description to each file. It does not need to be longer than one sentence.

You can upload new versions of files. The old version will remain as a small reference in the list (unless it is explicitly deleted).

Userfiles_disabled

Your current account does not allow file uploads. Please upgrade your account to enable this feature.

Messages

Send everything from short announcements and simple notifications to your global business strategy. All team members will receive an e-Mail. The message will also be added to this page which will become an archive.

Use e-Mails to send:

• status updates
• formal project requirements
• information about uploaded Files and to discuss them
• links to market/paper/book/product reviews … or the joke of the day
