Fantastic Features
Tasks™ and Tasks Pro™ are very powerful web-based task managers (to-do lists). The hierarchical design lets you create unlimited tasks and sub-tasks. In Tasks Pro™ (the multi-user version) group controls allow projects to be set up only for people who need to see them. Set due dates and priorities, get automatic e-mail notifications, leave each other notes, and even publish calendars!
Best of all, you get a web-based application that runs with any browser* and can be used in any operating system environment (Mac, Windows, Linux or mixed!) with nothing to install.

Tasks Pro™/Multi-User Features
-
Intelligent e-mail notifications
When a task is assigned, an e-mail notification is sent to the new owner with both a link to the task and the details right in the email itself. When a task is updated by someone who isn't the task's owner (another group member with permission), the owner is notified that it has been modified.
If you assign a task to someone, you will receive an e-mail notification when it has been completed (unless you are the one who marks it complete).
-
Complete managerial control
Tasks Pro™ lets you assign tasks to members of your groups, and can even automatically send them e-mail to notify them of their new task. They can edit the task and update it's progress, and you can monitor its status. Comment fields and notes can also be used for workers and supervisors to stay in touch with what's happening.
-
Peer-to-peer collaboration
Team members communicate directly with each other. You can assign tasks to anyone in your group, making this a great way to manage the day to day details that are so crucial to a business' success.
-
Powerful work group controls
Tasks Pro™ allows you to set up unlimited groups and freely assign users to them. Access to task information can also be limited across groups.
Users in the sales department, for example, can be kept away from information intended for the engineering team, but you can see and manage it all. Individual users can be assigned to multiple groups, and each user's access level to the data (view, edit, create) can be individually customized.
-
Manage your work & responsibilities
There's no need for a separate to-do list manager for tasks only you need to know about. Just click the 'Private' check box for any task, and nobody else will ever see that you need to buy milk on the way home!
