We added small improvements to many of our activeCollab modules this month.

Let’s talk first about four level grouping in Assignments filters that come in Planning module.

As a Project Manger, you need various “views” into tasks team members are working on. Sometimes you need a view grouped by projects, sometimes by people, sometimes by status, sometimes by due dates. And sometimes – by all of them.

Assignments Plus filters in Planning module give you superb filtering and grouping ability. But Nathan Sudds from activeLabs suggested that we add another level of grouping – so instead of three levels, make it four levels.

This was a small but useful addition!

For example, you can apply different filters on assignments and group filtered assignments by Project, Assignee, Due Date and Label. You now have a comprehensive view of what’s due on what date and what’s the status. You can quickly follow up with team members or help them get those tasks completed.
