Using BC as a Project Management System

Hi Guys,
I'm new to business catalyst, I have signed up to the WebMarketing package and have created my first site. I am including several features to the site including a private forum and several forms for submitting data. I would also like to have a private area to manage projects between the members of the site. This would have task breakdowns, assigning particular tasks to different members and due dates with % completed data, ideally there should be a document system where the work can be saved and linked to on the task page. I just need some advice on whether or not this is possible using business catalyst or if I need to use some external software.
Kind regards,
Mitchell Ransom

Since BC doesn't allow you to run server side code or access the data base directly, I can not see the way of doing it at BC end. That said, you can look at different project management solutions out there and perhaps customise it to match the look and feel of your BC site. I'm quite sure that redmine allows this. Check it out at http://www.redmine.org/. Depending on the level of customisation you require you may have to learn some Ruby on Rails.
Cheers,

  • Project Management System In Dreamweaver

    I'm looking to create project management system in Dreamweaver; similar to MS Outlook, only with an enhanced task hierarchy and detail section.
    Does anyone know of examples and / or books where I can see what I'm getting myself into?  Even better, does Dreamweaver have a template for this? (I haven't purchased the software yet)
    Thanks,,
    Mike

    I'm not looking for a full blown project management system; more like an activity (to-do) list in a subject lookup hierarchy, possible with email reminders of what's coming due. (something like expand-collapse subject areas with text, date, name and status fields).  I've done something similar in Visual Basic wtih an Access DB holding the information.  It doesn't look so great but does the job.

  • RFP for a project management system

    Hi,
     I am asked to present points related to a project management system. CAn anyone advise on links which help me get all the data required to be asked as questions to the supplier about their project management system.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    This should be driven from your internal requirements for the toolset. Not sure you will find anything helpful as nobody will know your requirements. Maybe you could reach out to a Microsoft PPM partner to help you understand your requirements and help build
    your RFP. Maybe look for a PPM partner on Microsoft Pin Point and see if they can help you.

  • Flash Project Management System

    I was wondering if there has been a UI built in flash for a
    project management system. What Im looking for is an app where the
    managers would drag and drop their resources into a timeline for
    projects and they would be able to stretch resources along the
    timeline for each project. It would basically look like a Gant
    Chart, but with user interactivity. Just basically asking if this
    has already been done, is there an example of the work I could see,
    would this be a fairly easy project, or if am I wasting my time
    here.

  • Using PSE as a document management system

    I used a program on my old computer with Windows Vista to file and organize scanned pdf documents. I could readily assign tags to a document, and then find the document using the tags. The tagging worked well. It was quick and intuitive.
    I now have a new computer with Windows 7. I now realize that the program I used to tag documents will not run under Windows 7, and cannot be relied on to be useable in the future under Windows 15 or 20. So, I'm looking for a different system to file my electronic, scanned pdf documents that will be durable and long-lived, but not overly complicated or expensive. I'm dreading converting (probably meaning rekeying) approximately 1,500 documents filed in the old computer to a new filing system.
    It occurred to me I could use Elements as a document management system. I could create a separate catalog for the filed documents, and use Elements to tag and find tagged documents. It wouldn't be as easy as the tagging system I had on my old computer, but my guess is that Adobe and Elements will be around for many years and are more likely to be functioning 5, 10 or 20 years from now. If it disappears, there is enough of a user base of Elements users that it seems likely there will be some means to convert from Elements documents to some other application using tags and captions.
    Does this make sense? Has anyone else traveled this path?

    Now can you tell us what this program was called so that we can tell you if there is an update for it to run on Windows 8.1.
    PSE13 is for photos/images and it can tag them and sort them and you can do wonders with it but the learning curve is quite steep especially if you are not computer geek.  If you want to try it before spending any money then I suggest download a full trial version and run it free of charge for 30 days.  You can post questions here if you get stuck with it and people will try to help you with it.
    The trial can be downloaded from this link:
    <http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements&loc=us>
    Direct link is here:

    Good luck.

  • Installing and managing firefox in an enterprise environment using a third party desktop managment system (Novell ZEN)

    We want to deploy Firefox in our enterprise environment and need to figure out a way to have the install run silently, no user interaction. We use Novell's ZEN to centrally manage our desktops and how we've done this with other installs is to create a response file, but I guess Firefox will not use response files. So, how would we accomplish this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5.0 and now I find out that my university's course management system won't run on it. I need to go back to 3.5+ and can't find a way to download THAT!

    When I go to Download it at your website it only gives me the option of the newer one...5.0 . How can I get back to running 3.5+ so I can use the university's course management system?

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • Project Management in stand alone environment

    My customer belong to professional service(IT delivery service) industry.
    And they want to manage their projects by using PPM 5.0(cProjects).
    One of my customer's requirement is managing their projects in stand alone environment.
    That is to say, project manager excute the project in the customer site after contracting their customer project.
    But customer forbid him to set network environment as VPN because of customer's securiy policy.
    Can I meet custome's requirement by using cProjects.
    Could you give me any good solution.

    Hi,
    I believe the cProjects (PPM5.0) is the SAP solution provided for the such type of project management requirements only. You can use cProjects as  standalone Project management solution, wherein you can plan, execute and monitor your projects from remote locatuons (customer site). You can use cProjects by using NWBC on HTML and / or Enterprise portal (EP). Please read for SAP Help and other SAP PPM 5.0 reference documents to get more details about how it will fit in your requirement.

  • Project Management - Project Started by InfoPath Form

    Hi, I'm struggling to figure out how best to use SharePoint 2010's project management under the scenario below.  Any input would be appreciated.
    An InfoPath form is submitted to a library.  The form has 5 possible choices in any combination.  Under each choice would be a separate project/workflow of tasks.  They fill out who is assigned and what is the due date for each task on the
    form.
    Every time a form is submitted, new project(s) with specific tasks are created and assigned to whomever was chosen on the form. (I've no idea how that happens, but that's where I'm trying to get to)
    EDIT: Maybe it's just a task list and workflows create all the tasks.  Each task would depend on the previous task being completed before being started (predecessors).  Can you create a template of this and just change the assigned to and
    due dates? 
    Any direction or pointers would be helpful.
    Thank you!

    Hi Nalani, you're right on your second thought. You'll need to accomplish this through the use of workflows. See the following link for details:

  • PHP user management system

    I have been using an ASP based user management system with an
    Access
    database and it has worked very well, however, I need to
    implement a similar
    system on a Linux server. I know you can password protect
    sections of the
    site using htaccess but I want something similar to what I
    get with the ASP
    system, ie user reg page and redirection pages for those who
    enter wrong
    details, duplicate usernames, password recovery, etc. Nothing
    fancy, just
    the basic functions to allow people to access restricted
    areas of the site.
    No payment will be involved, my client just wants to limit
    access to certain
    parts of the site to registered users.
    Can anyone recommend something simple and easy to setup and
    use? Either a DW
    extension or standalone, bearing in mind I don't know PHP but
    I can edit
    code with a little guidance...
    Many thanks in advance

    DW has User Authentication server behaviors built in, you
    know?

  • Sequential Appointments for Project Management

    Is there a way to create a sequence of appointments that are related to one another. I would like to be able to move one appointment and have other related appointments move by the same amount of time. Ultimately this would allow a critical path of appointments to be scheduled allowing iCal to be used as a basic project management tool.

    I'm pretty sure this is well beyond iCal's mediocre capabilities. However, you might be able to write an Automator script or an AppleScript to do this for you. You would probably have to use a tag in the notes section of your events to do this.

  • AIX and External Output Management System

    Dear All, I have a question on Printers in SAP. Currently we are running R/3 and we are using Infoprint as our Output Management System (OMS) for several years now.  I am not sure why InfoPrint was selected as the choice for OMS in R/3. We are evaluating to see if we can eliminate InfoPrint and just use the AIX Print/Spool Management when we upgrade to ECC. We have some bar code Printing from SAP. Does AIX provide all the capabilities for Printing from SAP ECC (Netweaver). Please let me know. Any reference to supporting document is appreciated. Thanks

  • Why the latest versions of Firefox do not allow me to work with Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System?

    I use the software Oracle Performance Management System (it is a platform web based pretty common in the finance dpts) for work and is impossible for me to log in using recent versions of firefox.
    Every time I get an autoupdate I have to uninstall it and install the version 3.5.7.......... pretty frustrating.
    If you can help me otherwise i will be constrained to change browser.

    If you are going to install an older version of Firefox 3.5.*, it would be best to try 3.5.13 which is the latest 3.5 version of Firefox and has the latest security fixes. This is available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Also see [[installing a previous version of Firefox]], which includes details of how to install any previous version of Firefox.

  • Project Manager... not always re-linking

    We mostly use trim mode when project managing our PP-CC projects to the archive server.
    However there has been times when we open that newly created project - the sequence has gray diagonal lines and most of the footage does not re-link.
    I noticed when looking at a 2 camera shoot cut in the timeline cam 1 angle starting timecode on each clip has the same start time on every edit... Same with cam-2.
    Also - when we look at the footage in the Trimmed folder - it appears all the correct scenes are there.
    Has anyone experienced this problem?
    Is here a work-around?
    On another note - when we do use Project Manager the original sequence looses it's link to all the preview files we rendered.
    Any ideas on that, too??
    Thanks in advance

  • Project management systemwho uses what?

    My dilemma:
    We are a small Design Marketing firm that uses a hodge-podge of different software systems to manage the various aspects of a project lifecycle.
    My wish:
    To find a single system that will:
    1. Generate work estimates
    2. Convert estimates to project tickets
    3. Track all time and resources for a project
    4. Generate an invoice at any interval and/or at the end of the project
    Currently we use Word to generate an estimate, Filemaker Pro to set up an actual project number/ticket and track time, Basecamp (online) to manage files and correspondance with client, and Word to generate an invoice. No two of those communicate with the other so there are huge inefficiencies. Been in the business 20 yrs, and even with the ubiquity of computing, nobody out there as solved the "universal" project management tool.
    Has anyone at least found a system that minimizes the number of software systems needed?
