Work with all your tasks in Basecamp
Basecamp is great for getting all your project items online. The IntelliGantt Web Part gives you the next step of being able to reorganize everything into different views or search results and lets users quickly update multiple items. A team member can see all their tasks across all their projects in one screen and mark everything complete. A project manager can view all items for a particular person and reschedule everthing assigned to them with a simple mouse drag and drop.
IntelliGantt gives you the full hierarchy of items from Basecamp and let's you choose what you want to see by selecting which projects, what grouping and even applying a simple query.
No Basecamp Data Stored Locally
We've taken the next step beyond synchronization and let you work with your Basecamp data interactively. This means multiple people can use the IntelliGantt Web Part at the same time and everyone will see the same data. As Basecamp items are updated, the IntelliGantt Web Part will bring in new items and even highlight them in bold so you can see what changed-- no need to constantly click a refresh button and there is no 'update' button because its all live.
Introducing Percent Complete, Status, Priority. Predecessors and Cost
Not that you need them, but in case you'd like a few extra fields to your Todo Items, the IntelliGantt Web Part supports:
- A percentage field or slider bar on the task (Rolled up for Summary Tasks)
- Status (Not Started, Behind, On Track, Completed)
- Priority (High, Normal, Low)
- Predecessors (link any Todo Items together, or Todo Lists and Milestones)
- Cost (assign any cost to a Todo Item and IntelliGantt will roll it up)
Because we store all data within Basecamp, other IntelliGantt Web Part users will see you changes to any of the fields introduced above.
Key Performance Indicators based on your Choice Columns
IntelliGantt can generate pie charts from status values personalized for each team member in your project. You can both visualize and filter your task list by a person and choice value.
Drag & Drop Task Templates
Save a task or summary task by clicking on the 'write' icon in the tool window. This will create an igantt file containing all the task information on your local machine. You can then drag the file from Windows Explorer back onto the IntelliGantt Web Part (over a project or summary task) and create new copies of your task information. Assignments and predecessor links will be recreated (if possible) as well.
Simple Permissions
If you are marked as an Administrator within Basecamp then you can update any item and make changes to the project plans. However, if you are not an administrator, then you must be assigned to a task in order to make changes. The IntelliGantt Web Part even has a 'Read Only' mode so that the user cannot make changes. Simply use an 'http' basecamphq.com url to point to your project and no updates can be made. Otherwise, if you'd like to make updates, you can start your url with 'https', which will enable in place and drag'n drop editing.
Search on any of the fields
In addition to the fields we introduce above you can search on titles, due dates, comments and assignments to sift through all Basecamp milestones, todo lists and todo items. We will help you find what you want and group it by project so you can quickly identify the important things.
Plus, your own search is combined with the currently selected view. So if you wanted to see all your tasks that are 'Behind', you can select 'My Tasks' from the View dropdown and search for 'Behind'. The result may be very important to you.
Dynamic real-time zoom-in/zoom-out
Perhaps the number one requested feature for the Gantt chart, as determined by site hits, blog hits and plaintive pleas, is the ability to zoom in and zoom out. IntelliGantt gives you a 'zoom factor' slider bar that let's get exactly the scale you want. Compress or expand time with a mouse slide or click. You most recent zoom factor is also stored so the IntelliGantt Web Part will remember if you prefer a broad time horizon or up-to-the-minute detail.
High-Fidelity printing
Finally! 'What you see is what you get' is now available for both Windows and MacOS platforms. By default IntelliGantt will print the entire range of the project, but you can customize the printing by specifying your own range. You can then see a preview of each individual page as its sent off to the printer.
Simple Built In Views
By default the IntelliGantt Web Part will show all your milestones, todo lists and todo items in a hierarchy. However, you can also choose 'My Todos', which shows only the todo items assigned to the current user. Or you can choose the 'Resources' view, which groups all tasks by their assigned resource (if a task is not assigned, we create an 'Unassigned' resource to place them under). Or you can choose 'Milestones' to get the high-level view of a project's progress.
