As we announced in our previous article, we have a lot of surprises in terms of Epicflow’s new features this fall. Go on reading to stay up to date and not to miss a thing in multi-project management software trends. 

Pipeline

  • Manual (Customized) Planning gives you an opportunity to replace tasks and summaries on the timeline as well as change their duration. You can perform these actions right on the Gantt chart by applying a drag-and-drop action. It is opposed to Auto Planning, where the order and duration of the items are calculated automatically.

“Changing Task Duration”

  • Module Library is a tool that stores typical project elements that can be used as templates for many projects. This feature helps you save your time by simplifying the process of copying elements from one project to another.

Task List

  • Task Card configuring allows you to define settings for a newly added user or to apply certain user’s configurations to a new one. You can copy settings to a default profile and implement them for a newly invited user. Besides, it’s possible to select parameters for assigning to a certain user.   
  • Bulk Change for Groups is designed to change one resource group to another for several tasks at the same time just in a click.

It’s a new feature that helps you examine the tasks and work hours logged for their accomplishment. Right from this page, you can go to a certain task where your time has been logged.  

Material Group 

To make a PC software and mobile application identical, we’ve added a function of material resources. So, you can control the material consumption right from your mobile app. 

Logging In

From now on, you can log in by applying your email and password. Earlier, you had to log in from your PC, make a QR code displayed on the screen, and read it with your mobile app.
