Technical Preview The Projects module in Gorelo helps you track multi-step engagements and larger initiatives than tickets. You can assign a lead for each project, add tasks, streamline tickets, and collaborate with clients using the Project module.

​
When to use projects

The Project module suits work that requires:
  • Time tracking
  • Collaboration through the Client Portal
  • Multi-step processes and milestones
  • Visibility for the client while keeping an internal trail
While tickets are ideal for individual support tasks, the following table identifies scenarios that benefit from being managed as a project: The Project module simplifies tracking complex work using the following main features:

​
Layouts

Navigate between three different layouts:
  • Timeline: the project’s tracking history, which you can manually complete by posting comments. The comments can be public (visible by everyone who has access to the project), private (visible only by your team), and/or fully or partially encrypted.
  • Table: a list of all the project’s tasks.
  • Board: a Kanban view of all the project’s tasks.

​
Group tasks

Filter the view using the Group by option at the top of each view. You can group tasks by:
  • Sections: create and delete sections to categorize your work.
  • Statuses: Gorelo provides four statuses for tasks, including Not started, Working on It, On hold, and Done.

​
Tasks

You can manually add tasks and define:
  • A title for the task
  • An assignee
  • A due date
  • Assets and/or uptimes
  • A priority level (from urgent to low)
Each task contains its own public and private timeline, within which you can add comments specifically to that task. Tasks are also interdependent: you can mark a task as blocked by or blocking another task. Third-party conversations with external providers are also available in tasks.

​
Track time for tasks

Each task comes with an embedded timer you can click when you start working on the task. When you stop the timer and click Add time, a dialog appears to allow you to optionally upload files and add details. Once completed and submitted, time spent on the task appears in the Time tab in each task. Alternatively, you can also add time manually in the Time section of each task.

​
Products

Add products and bundles to tasks, and use the predefined sections or edit them as you see fit. Set them as billable or non-billable. If non-billable, you can select an option to hide the product from the client.

​
Checklists

You can set checklists manually for each task or use templates. Gorelo provides predefined templates, but you can create custom ones. When creating a new checklist, click the disk icon to save it as a template and reuse it later on similar tasks.

​
Shipment tracking

For hardware shipments, you can add a tracking number and carrier to each task and get notified when the shipment is delivered.

​
Approval

Some tasks require steps to get approval from your designated approver. Add them directly from the task to require approval, with a custom message detailing the action.

​
Add tasks to your calendar

You can add each task to your Gorelo calendar and M65 Outlook calendar. To add a task, open it, scroll to the bottom of the right-hand menu, and click ADD TO CALENDAR. Once added, Gorelo lists the task in the To Do list alongside your calendar so you can track it from one place. Tasks that you never add to a calendar do not appear in the To Do list. The To Do list is populated from calendar entries, not from every project task. See these guides to learn how to manage tasks and calendars in Gorelo:
