To view reports navigate to wp-admin → Project Manager → Reports.

We have added several predefined report cases depending on user feedback. The reports are very much self-explanatory.

Overdue Tasks

Lists tasks from the project that have passed the due date but are not completed yet. Now, you can determine which tasks you need to get off your waiting list first.

Graphical presentation of project vs user

These filters will generate reports with graphical representation.

The advanced report is the old report

We didn't completely remove our old reporting system because of its complete manual capacities. You can still access it by clicking Advanced Report.

On this page, you will be prompted to select a project to generate the report or to export it to a CSV file.

  • Use the drop-down menu to select your desired project.
  • Use the “+” button for selecting multiple projects.
  •  Click Generate Report to view project report(s).

After clicking the generate project button, you will see your project reports in detail, such as Project Name, Task List, Title, Task, Assigned Person's name, Start Date, Due Date, Status, and more in details by clicking on them.
