February 2023 Newsletter: Introducing "Repeating Projects"

We're excited to announce a completely revamped repeating projects function! Read more about this and other updates below.

Repeating Projects

Workzone has had a "repeat" option for new projects created from a template for some time now, though that option would simply repeat a set of tasks within a single project plan. We've heard our customers' feedback and have updated this functionality to create new, separate projects for each instance of the repeat.

Projects can be repeated on daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly frequencies, allowing users to choose how often a new project is created and for how long. There is also a new "Repeating Projects" report that makes it easy to view and manage repeating project schedules.

Time Tracking - Administrators and Managers will be able to pin tasks to other users' timesheets.
Mobile - Allow @mentions in comments
Approvals - New multi-function approvals button including options to batch request, respond to, and close approvals from the files view.
Approvals - New approval status icon on the file list to show the count of approved, not approved, or pending responses.

What We're Working On / Exploring Now [target release]

Project tags. Add tags to projects to group/filter them -- by campaign, those that need special attention, etc. [Apr/May]
Project baselines. Compare the current version of a project schedule to a previous baseline version to identify significant variances from the planned schedule. [Enterprise license, May/Jun]
