Drag & Drop Feature
The calendar in ProProfs Project is designed to simplify project management with its innovative and user-friendly drag-and-drop feature. With this feature, you can extend the deadlines for projects or tasks by simply dragging them to a new date on the calendar. Additionally, it allows you to adjust the timeline of a project or task with ease.
Calendar Filters
When you have multiple projects, you can easily organize and sort them using the Calendar Filters.
There are four filter dropdowns. You can filter on the basis of Users, Projects, Clients and Dates. These filters can be combined for a seamless, hassle-free experience. For more details, refer to the dedicated article on Calendar Filters.
Add Feature
You can add projects, tasks, sub-tasks, and reminders by simply left-clicking on a date. After this, a dialog box opens to create the chosen one.
Events
An Event refers to a date that isn’t directly tied to projects or tasks, such as a birthday or a staff training day. However, you can associate events with specific projects if you’d like them visible only to certain project members. Events will only appear in the projects they are assigned to.
