Project Management
Keep Projects on Track
Plan your projects and track
their progress… X2 project allows you assign tasks to people, define what is
urgent. See what your team is doing and what they need to so, discuss different
stuff that you are working on and more.
Collaborate
- Communicate with your team, clients, suppliers and everyone else
you are working with in a friendly and an easy to use
environment.Discuss and comment, receive email notifications, stay in
touch. Everything is saved and available for future reference.
Projects
- Unlimited Projects
- No artificial limitations - manage an unlimited number of projects at any time.
- Copy Projects and Save Time Projects can be copied so you can have
"project templates" for common things you work on. This can save you a
lot of time that you would waste if you had to define all milestones
and tasks from scratch.
- See Project Progress
Project progress shows you have many
tasks are completed and how many are still left to go with a nice
little graphic indicator.
- Organize Projects Into Groups Projects can be sorted into project
groups. Your clients will see only the groups where they have projects
in; other groups will be invisible to them.
- Set a Client for a Project. Project can optionally be associated
with a client company. It will inherit client's logo if no specific
project icon is set.
- Quickly Move Between Projects. Use Jump to Project widget to
quickly jump to any project at any time. You can pin projects to the
top of the list for easier access.
Files
- Upload Files, File Revisions and Collaborate
- Use Files section to upload files, discuss them, upload and compare versions. You can upload and track versions of any file.
- See Attachments from Other Project Sections
Files attached in
other project sections are also listed in Files section. They are
marked with a little paperclip icon so you can easily spot them.
- Preview Images. System generates thumbnails and preview images for JPG, GIF and PNG files.
- Categories and Milestones. Files can be sorted in categories and associated with milestones. Both relations are optional.
Tickets
- Bigger Tasks, Issues, Subprojects and More
Tickets are
essentially tasks, but their rich features let you use them for many
different things, depending on your needs. They are great for tasks
that take longer time to get completed, that evolve through time, or in
situations when you need the ability to discuss a task with your team
or a client.
Categories and Milestones
- Tickets can be sorted in categories and associated with milestones. Both relations are optional.
- When ticket is completed, it's moved to Archive for future reference.
Break Ticket Into Smaller Tasks
Use subtasks to break a ticket into smaller steps and to execute them
one by one. Each subtask can have due date, priority and a list of
assignees.
History
- Changes made to a ticket are tracked so you can always know what, when and who made a change.
Comments
- Tickets support an unlimited number of comments. Use them to discuss a ticket with your colleagues and clients.
- Unlimited Number of Attachments
People can attach any number
of files to a ticket. System will recognize images and create
thumbnails. For other types it will use appropriate filetype icons.
Email Notifications
- Users subscribed to a ticket will receive email notification when it is commented, completed or reopened.
- Time Tracking
Track Time
Each project has its own
time page where time can be directly tracked on a project. Optionally,
the time record can be attached to a ticket or a subtask.
Billable? Billed?
- Each time record can be marked as billable or not billable.
Additionally, billable hours can be marked as billed. When billed, time
record will be crossed over in the list and you can easily filter it
out in reports.
Filter and Export Data
- Filter time records by date, user and billable / billed status. The
filter which you create is reusable and you can run it globally or per
project. Filter results can be exported to CSV format and used in your
favorite spreadsheet application (like Excel, Numbers etc), or sent to
your accountant for further processing.
Permissions
- System Roles
System roles let you specify which areas and
functions of system users can have access to. Some of the role
permissions are access to administration, ability to manage or create
project, manage company user accounts and more.
Project Roles
- Project roles are reusable sets of project permissions. Users can
have different roles on different projects. If none of already defined
project roles work for a specific user on a specific project, then you
can use a custom set of permissions instead of defining a new role.
Full Control
- Granular permissions let you precisely set up which sections of a
project user have access to and what he or she can do there. Clients
see only people they previously worked with and are not aware of
anything outside of the projects they are working on.
Printing and Exporting
- Print Stylesheets
All pages are optimized to print well. Print
out assignments or specific task details and bring them to the team
meeting with no worries - they look beautiful on paper as well.
- Export Project
Project Exporter lets you export project data
as static website that can be uploaded to the server, archived for
future reference or for any other purpose that may be suitable for you
Modules

is the fact that small, fully featured MVC applications operate in the
environment and can interact between each other
