TeamDirection and Groove 2007

[asaitgroup]

We have been using TeamDirection for Groove 3.1 for a few years now. We would like to continue using it but I do not think we will be able to use it like we have in the past. Is it safe to say that TeamDirection no longer integrates with Groove 2007 like it did with 3.1? I've tried to export our old data and it looks good in the IntelliGantt product its-self, once imported into Groove 2007 however, it is just a basic task list and not the more in depth task list and calendar like it was in Groove 3.1. Is there ANY way to get the actual tool that integrates into Groove 2007 like it was with 3.1?

Microsoft decided that no 3rd parties would be able to embed their wares within Groove 2007, TeamDirection included. If this changes with the next version of Microsoft Office, then TeamDirection will revisit the Groove offerring. Until then the only option is a Groove Form and integration between two applications.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Yes, we know about that, but why we do not have sub and subsub.... tasks in TD Task List? Groove Forms do not mind!

One of the things we've been doing with our SharePoint List integration is allowing IntelliGantt to synchronize with any list type you supply a template ID for.

If you'd like to do the same with a Groove form we'd be happy to hook IntelliGantt up to it. As a general philosophy, we'd like to supply more of the connectivity and rely on partners (such as Bamboo Solutions) to create the spiffy web parts, or in your case Groove forms.

If Microsoft does let .NET back in to the Groove framework, then we would very much like to put the interface you see in IntelliGantt back in the Groove transceiver (what it used to be called).

Thanks for the observation,

Thank you for reply
If you allow two-way sinchronization between TD TAsk List and IGPlus
It ruins all the idea when you have to jump from IG to Groove simply to check if there are any other items like Issues ans Risks assigned to me.
Could somebody from Great MPVs be so kind to make simple hierarchical New Groove TD Task List?
May be i do not know something important and nobody else does not need it?
Thank you in advance.

Could you, please, explain me the logic of Groove (TD Task List) and IGPlus collaboration?
For example, let's take the next scenario

Person 1 (P1) uses Groove only
Person 2 (P2) uses IG+
1. P1 makes project and shares it with P2
2. P1 inserts task to Groove TDTL
3. P2 updates project in IG+ and can see that Task
4. P1 changes for example Due Date
5. P2 updates project in IG+ and can see unread mark, but can not see any changes... Due Date is not changed!
On the contrary, Due Date in Groove TDTL changes back to the previouse value.
Is it correct?

We need a bit more information on this one. This scenario sounds like P1 was not assigned to the task and perhaps 'Ensure Task Assignments' is check in the collaboration settings form. This option means IntelliGantt Plus will only accept changes from people assigned to the task in the Groove task list.

Go to your Collaboration Settings form in IntelliGantt Plus and make sure this option is not set. By default it is not, but by default IG+ won't accept new tasks unless another option is turned on in the same form. Perhaps you were checking out the features and noticed this one?

Sorry, my mistake.
Point 1. sounds like:
1. P2 makes project and shares it with P1

Do you plan to integrate IG v4 and Groove?

[Support]

It's in our plans. The question is if there's a demand for it. Right now most of the demand is flowing from SharePoint. As a result, I don't have an integration shedule for you yet.
