Easy Projects (www.easyprojects.net) попал в число финалистов престижной награды Jolt Awards (http://www.joltawards.com/finalists.html;jsessionid=KOFNWCQHQ20UAQSNDLPSKHSCJUNN2JVN)!
Easy Projects is a major upgrade with over 15 significant new features and improvements.
Here are some of the most exciting and useful changes:
Completely re-designed user interface based on AJAX technology.
The new interface makes Easy Projects .NET a true Web 2.0 application with the help of on-demand loading, contextual menus, inline editing and other features that enhance the user's experience.

Inline editing (quick edit).
This feature will allow you to quickly edit key task details right in the task list.
http://www.mypixshare.com/images/8450/10431/00000072.jpg
Quick batch add operation for tasks.
Thanks to this functionality, it is now possible to add new tasks or subtasks to a project right from the task list, which is very helpful when you need to quickly add a lot of tasks, issues or requests.
http://www.mypixshare.com/images/8450/10431/00000073.jpg
Contextual pop-up menu.
Every time you see an item being highlighted in orange - it means you can click there. A menu will pop-up, featuring different actions or commands related to the selected item.
http://www.mypixshare.com/images/8450/10431/00000074.jpg
Expanded Report Generator.
The new Report Generator has more data sources, some of which allow you to display the data in hierarchical order. For example, you can save pre-defined filters for Urgent Open Tasks that will always display a report whose tasks are "Open" and the priority is "Urgent".
http://www.mypixshare.com/images/8450/10431/00000075.jpg
Unlimited number of free resource users.
You've been asking for it - and we delivered! Easy Projects .NET 5.0 allows creating so called "resource" users. These users are not able to login to the system, however you can assign tasks to them, thus allowing you to schedule their workload. This can be extremely helpful, when you need to know how your machinery or equipment is going to be used. And the best part... you don't have to pay for the licenses for such users.

Printer-friendly mode for every page.
Virtually every page in EP.NET 5.0 can be presented in a printer-friendly manner, including project details screens, hierarchical tasks list page, etc.
http://www.mypixshare.com/images/8450/10431/00000077.jpg
Quick Panel with the shortcuts to the most commonly used actions.
Almost every page has a Quick Panel, that slides out of the left side of a screen and contains the most commonly used actions or commands that are relevant to the current page.
http://www.mypixshare.com/images/8450/10431/00000078.jpg
Ability to customize subjects for the e-mail notifications.
Customizable e-mail subjects that may contain project or task names or, for example, a new attachment filename come to the rescue when you are receiving lots of e-mail notifications, and need to quickly glance at the email subject to determine if this notification requires your immediate attention.
http://www.mypixshare.com/images/8450/10431/00000079.jpg
And some other changes:
Improved performance
thanks to the AJAX and ASP.NET 2.0 technologies, the new version works much faster
Improved Time Log page
instant report on the actual and estimated time for the selected task, ability to create a new project or a task
right from the time log page, improved layout, etc
MS Project *.mpp file import support
now it's possible to import MPP files directly instead of XML
Ability to hide unused sections of the screens
if you don't use or don't want to see a particular feature on a screen e.g. billing or custom fields you can hide it
Separate set of custom fields for Tasks, Issues and Requests
you can specify different custom fields for all objects (projects, tasks, bugs and requests)
Simplified permissions
in version 5.0 the user-level permission were eliminated, now all access rights can be adjusted on the role and
project levels.
Improved calendar
new changes include event notifications, one-click event adding, additional filtering
Ability to add time entries for others
a special permission allows a supervisor to add time entries for other team-members
В течение одной-двух недель ожидается выход версии 5.1.
Некоторые из ожидаемых фич Easy Projects .NET 5.1:
Avatars
Project Milestones
Listed custom fields
Export to MS Project
Analyzing estimations
Export to iCal format
Ability to store attachments on a disk or at Amazon S3
Batch operations for projects and tasks
Detailed Workflow
Resource loading report
Uploading multiple files at once
