Useful new things, April 22

Early this morning (when you were likely sleeping) we added a couple of new items to Projjex that we think you’ll find useful: daily email notifications and data imports/exports. We also increased the disk limit for Personal (ie. free) users from 10MB to 100MB.

By the way, all of today’s changes came from suggestions from our customers: thank you for letting us know what you need - we’re listening!

Daily Email Notification
Projjex will now email you a summary of your Dashboard items every day. It sends this email at 3:00 a.m. (your local time) so that you will have it first thing in the morning.

You can customize this email to get only the things you want. To do this, simply:

- sign in to Projjex
- click on “settings” at the top right of any screen
- click on the “Email Notification” tab
- check the items you wish to receive in your morning email
- click the “Save” button at the bottom of the screen.

By the way, if you don’t receive these emails, it may be because your email program or internet service provider (ISP) blocks Projjex emails as spam. Please change your email settings or contact your ISP to allow emails from Projjex to get through.

Data Imports / Export
Projjex now allows you to import data from Microsoft Project, BaseCamp or a generic comma-separated-value (CSV) file.

Projjex also allows you to export your Projjex data to a CSV file.

For a Microsoft Project file, you’ll first need to export this file to XML. This is easily done and will only take a minute or two.

Projjex imports BaseCamp project information directly from BaseCamp without requiring you to perform an export.

To read more about them and to try them out, simply sign in to Projjex and then click on the new “tools” button that appears at the top right of the screen, between “settings” and “sign out”.

Thanks again for all your great feedback - and please keep it coming!

The Projjex Team

    This is the kind of collab workspace we have been looking for to integrate with Salesforce.com… would make project management wasy easier. Have you thought of this? Salesforce really needs an app like this.

    Hi Nick,

    Thanks for the comment and the great idea. We’ve certainly thought about how Projjex might integrate with others. However, at this point we’re purely focused on creating and running the best collaborative product we can.

    With that being said, we know that integration with other products can be very important to our customers. This gets complicated because different customers have different products and different integration requirements. So we thought the best way to resolve this would be to create a high-performance application program interface (API). This is underway and will be available, um, RSN (real soon now). :-)

    We trust that this will do the trick for most people. In the meantime, we’d be happy to hear from Salesforce…

    Regards,

    Alex
