Sometimes data can overwhelm you. Being able to easily structure your Asana, Basecamp, Trello, or AceProject data in to a presentable and flexible report would be great, wouldn’t it? Well, comments from users keep pouring in and report updates have followed. In the latest update a number of new features are available to add even more flexibility in report creation.

Unlimited fields in your report

No more limit of 4 additional fields. Add any field you want! You can reorder them as well to get that report just right.

Support for landscape and portrait orientation

Change the orientation of the paper to suit your needs! A few extra fields may fit better in your PDF if in landscape mode. If you want to fit even more information, you always have the option to export to Excel which respects the formatting. Using the print options form Excel you can fit width, or fit all, to get what you want on the page.

Interchange wide fields for columns […]

We receive great comments from our users.  Not only do they indicate what new features they would like to see in the future, but how to improve existing ones, such as Reports. More fields, more flexibility, more comments, add this, add that, if only, etc. We are always attentive and try to incorporate the suggestions we receive. In this latest update, a number of suggestions we implemented and the Reports module has been tweaked and provides more flexibility.

Reports now including Task Description and Comments

Getting all your project or board information neatly placed on a printed sheet of paper is easier said than done. In the first iteration of reports we decided to limit the fields to those containing less information and retrieving only the last comment, etc. Fields such as Task description and comments can sometimes include extreme amounts of information and entering it in a readable format in a one inch or so cell would require a microscope to be useful. These “longer” or wide fields are now available and positioned below the Task […]

We are keeping busy here are Bridge24. The past month or so has seen a number of improvements and new features to make your reporting and exporting more powerful and easier.

New Charts & Reports

Charts and Reports by:

• Completion Status (Asana, Trello, Basecamp) and Archived Status (Trello)
• Label name & Tasks by label color (Asana, Trello)

New Pre-determined Due/Deadline date Filters

Quick access filters “by deadline” available from the left tree view for Basecamp, Trello, and AceProject (Asana coming).

Access Archived project contents (Basecamp)

Accessible from the left treeview or from a Personal filter. When selecting from the filter, the project is indicated with (Archived) or (Trashed) label

Rapid access to Completed tasks/cards/to-dos

Rapid access to view All tasks, to-dos, cards (including completed) directly in the Grid through new drop-down selector on the top right of the Grid interface. The options are: Incomplete (tasks) / All (tasks).

 

Performance Enhancements

Client/browser side caching for improved performance after first connection has been implemented for […]

A number of new enhancements for charts has just been released in time for the Holidays! Charts add a flexible representation of your data that provides visual grouping for instant interpretation. Connect, filter, then display charts in Bridge24 for Asana, Basecamp, Trello, or AceProject. Access to your data has never been easier!

Access options from the menu on the top right of any vertical or horizontal bar chart:

Chart Stacking

One exciting feature is the ability to “stack” or display 2 variables in the same chart. For example, You are able to display all tasks by Project and then stack by Tag or Assignee. Click on a chart column to drill down to view by category and subcategory and open in the Grid for further analysis or export.

Sorting

The order displayed in the legend and chart can now be modified. You can sort alphabetically, when stacking by Assignees for example, or by Quantity of each stacked value.

Opening the Bridge24 interface today, you will have noticed a complete visual revamp. A number of technology components were updated recently and we took the opportunity to also freshen up the interface with a new color scheme and style to enhance the readability and clarity of the application.

Enhancement included:

• New contrasting to increase the usability for new users
• Notifications are less intrusive
• Quicker load times for dialogues
• New type font and sizes for better readability

In case you haven’t opened the app today, here is a quick look:

We hope this new interface allows you to work more productively using Bridge24!

Bridge24 with Asana Interview

What is Asana?

Asana is being used by a great number of teams and organizations around the world. They are able to collaborate and track the progress of work using a central online application. However, in spite of its popularity, not everyone is in Asana. Thus, there is still a need to export information to others, such as an executive team, or for an offsite meeting. Here, they might still prefer reading reports in Excel or in printouts. Unfortunately, Asana’s reporting and exporting features are […]
