Bridge24 is a free and powerful reporting add-on (and more) to popular project management solutions. It provides added flexibility and control, as well as export, of one’s data when using PM software like AceProject, Asana, Basecamp and Trello.

Most of our work recently has been on the backend of Bridge24, preparing for our next phase of development. This being said, you may have noticed a few small enhancements that have been added to your Bridge24 experience over the summer. Take a look below!

Improved Loading

Significant improvement in terms of loading speed and display has been made, especially when connecting to >1000 tasks.

Edit Panel Action Menu

Options on the update panel have been placed within an Action menu
Items in the menu include:

• Direct open in the parent application of the current task
• A new Copy Task URL to the clipboard
• Delete the task

Grid View Management

From the grid view, you now have

The Bridge24 user account is now available and required for all users.

This provides Bridge24 a centralized place to store all parameters for your user. Before, the settings were stored within your browser’s local storage, meaning that it could only be accessed from that same browser on the same computer if you wanted to keep your settings.  Now, once logged into your account, the same experience and settings will be used from any of your devices and browsers.

The next time you access Bridge24 and for new users, it will request that you create your user account:

A refreshing redesign of the Bridge24 interface is now available. We have worked hard to improve the look and feel as well as increase load speeds and make more fluid. Simply login to the app to start using!

Design

A flatter design was chosen to bring it more up to date, and to make it clearer and lighter to view and navigate the interface. A number of settings have been re-positioned and modified slightly to be used more efficiently. Standardizing the design allows us to more quickly integrate new features moving forward.

Not only has the design improved, but general performance has increased as well. The grid is now smoother to scroll as well as transitions between views are much more fluid.

Enhancements Available

• On loading information or refreshing, progress bars were greatly improved to provide better knowledge of the state of the application.

• AceProject: Added some missing fields on
  

Users are not only viewing, but also editing their data more and more within Bridge24 for AceProject, Asana, Basecamp, and Trello. To complete the basic editing capabilities already available, a new Attachment Uploader has been added for all providers. Now when editing your Task/Card/To do within Bridge24, the upload of documents, images, and any other files is made easy.

To use the Attachment Uploader:

• Open the Edit dialogue of a Task/Card/To do
• Click on the Attachments tab and click the Browse button to select your files, or drag and drop your file(s) anywhere on the Edit dialogue
• Update the Task/Card/To do
• Add multiple files at once
• Edit other information at the same time as uploading

or

What else you can do:

• Use the preview icon to open images for a quick look

• Delete attachments

Like all functionality, anything done in Bridge24 is reflected

Ever think to yourself that “there must be a better way to get the information I want out of my application?”. This month in Bridge24 we are releasing the ability to export your information from your connected AceProject, Asana, Basecamp, or Trello application to Excel or CSV.  Many programs do not allow control of the information exported, such as: not exporting comments, a limited quantity of tasks, not exporting subtasks, or only bulk download of all of the data. Bridge24 allows you to filter and visually format your information across all your projects and easily export.

You can now, for example:

• Filter one or more projects between certain dates then export
• Export a filtered list of your assigned tasks, to-do’s or cards
• Group by project, by user and more into a coherent and structured list, then export
• Show/hide and arrange columns that you want in the export
• From the Calendar view, export the items from the current period displayed
  

Project management is accepted by most professionals in many companies as a key element in realizing business goals and customer satisfaction. Today’s global business landscape is significantly project-driven. Hence, companies are sorting out and studying about the kinds of project management processes, methodologies and tools to implement in their own teams and organization. Choosing the right PM tool is critical and challenging. The right tool can support processes, boost productivity and empower the workforce. A wrong choice adds to the problem. Choosing the right PM is also challenging simply because of the huge number of choices.

The Top 4

An efficient and reliable project management tool has strong core features but at the same time flexible for different situations. At its basic, it has a solid task assignment, progress tracking and information organization features. Also, its communication and collaboration functions are easy to use. Residing in the cloud makes it highly accessible. Last, the ability to work with other apps through integration provides users some degree of customization. Below

A Kanban board is a visual representation of tasks and workflow, making your operational experience that much easier by centralizing information. Bridge24 has released its first iteration of this valuable tool. Now users of Asana, Basecamp, Trello , and AceProject can visually change the state of their tasks by dragging from one list to another. The list represents the status, or process step (workflow). In an instant, a user can see work to be started, that which is in progress and completed.

We know Trello already has a light Kanban-style board, but we offer some behaviors not present in Trello. For example, you get the card count for each list, a list can be collapsed to free up your screen, and a lot more.

Collapsible Columns/Lists

Sometimes there are many lists and your screen fills up very rapidly. Scrolling to get access to the last column is sometimes tedious and sometimes not all columns are required to be viewed, since perhaps only a few
