| Introduction | |
|---|---|
| 1- : | phpCollab is a project management system. It is comprised of two interfaces: |
| a : | User, which includes admin, employees, co-workers, etc. |
| b : | Client. |
| 2- : | A central login handles everything. |
| a : | If a client logs in, then the client is directed to the client interface. |
| b : | If a team user logs in, then they are directed to the user interface. |
| User Features | |
| 1- : | Within each project you have the following features: |
| a : | Project Overview |
| b : | Phases (optional) |
| c : | Tasks & Sub tasks |
| d : | Discussions |
| e : | Team Members |
| f : | Linked Content (uploaded files) |
| g : | Notes |
| 2- : | In addition, you also have a few global features such as: |
| a : | Reports |
| b : | Calendar |
| c : | Search |
| d : | Bookmarks |
| 3- : | One very useful feature is the Home page. This page pulls up all the relevant items for that individual user in one place. This is also the first page that a user sees when logging into the system. So, a user can easily determine what tasks are due, or what projects they are involved in. |
| Client Features | |
| 1- : | Having a unique interface for your clients to use allows your clients to interact with the project team members. |
| a : | Please note that you must publish any of the items mentioned in order for a client to be able to see it. |
| b : | At all times you maintain full control of the project. |
| 2- : | When a client first logs into phpCollab they are presented with a Home page that shows all projects that have been created for them. Once a client selects a project they will have the following options: |
| a : | Project Team - a list of users assigned to the project. |
| b : | Team Tasks - all the tasks assigned to the project team |
| c : | Client Tasks - all the tasks assigned to the client |
| d : | Document List - a list of all the documents uploaded in the Linked Content |
| e : | Bulletin Board - interfaces with the Discussion section found in the user interface |
| f : | Support - a client can submit a task as a support request to the project team |
| Publishing | |
| 1- : | By default, a client will not be able to view anything. |
| a : | Throughout a project you have the option of publishing items, such as tasks, linked content, team members, etc. Once published, your clients will be able to view the item. |
| b : | You also have the option of un-publishing items as well. |
| What it does NOT do | |
| 1- : | phpCollab is a fantastic program that can give you the tools necessary to manage all of your tasks and projects. However, there is one misconception. |
| a : | phpCollab does not publish your web site. phpCollab manages your projects, not your web site. |
