: Add filter for view late (overdue) tasks
: Murz December 24, 2009, 05:37:55 AM
I am a project manager and have some subordinates. I create many tasks for each person. The normal situation that they finish tasks at "Due date" or before. But very often they forgot about due date and didn't close the task.

I need the easy method for control task completing
and function to show problem (overdue) tasks, that was closed after due date, or still open after due date.

I have created the patch that add filter for today finish, overdue, overdue+today tasks.
It can be successfully applied to fengoffice 1.6.1.
For apply a patch you need to copy patch into the root fengoffice folder and run:
:
patch -p0 <./overdue_filter.patch

Version 2 of patch, added new filters for tasks:
Active (opened tasks that the current date between start and due dates)
My active (assigned to user tasks that the current date between start and due dates)
My subscribed (all tasks for which current user is subscribed)

And I increase the filter select widget width.

For localize new filter items, you need to add translations:
:
        'overdue': 'Overdue',
        'active': 'Active',
        'my active': 'My active',
        'my subscribed': 'My subscribed',

I have attached the language file for Russian and English, you must place it into language/xx_xx folder.

Murz, it sounds as if you are using Tasks a lot. Our work group would like to do the same. The trouble is -- when we create an outline with tasks  and subtasks, we can't seem to be able to make any sense out of the outline because the subtask doesn't show the hierarchy. What's more, we can't even get a report to *sort* the tasks -- in any order whatsoever. Finally, since Feng doesn't number the items, we're getting lost. (Our year-long Strategic Plan has 44 pages of goals and tasks.)

Could I please ask...
*** Are you able to get the "sort" function to work in any reports?
*** Have you discovered a way to show the hierarchy of goals and tasks?
*** Do you have any way of numbering or labeling the tasks to make sense out of them?

Thanks for any help you can give.

*** Are you able to get the "sort" function to work in any reports?
I didn't use the reports today, but soft function works for me in task list successfully.

*** Have you discovered a way to show the hierarchy of goals and tasks?
No, I can't find the good way for this. I try to describe full problem in the task name and description, with an eye to task assigner see full info in email notification.

*** Do you have any way of numbering or labeling the tasks to make sense out of them?
I have labeling the tasks via tags, for split tasks in one milestone on different departments (development, design, etc). I can't find any more useful functional in current FO version.

Seems that this patch is integrated in core on version 1.7.2.
