OneDesk provides the ability to send messages and emails through automations. Email templates can be set up to send emails to customers or users and can be helpful for updating everyone on progress or changes. There are also system emails, particularly important emails sent from your account and cannot be configured through automations. You can read an in-depth explanation of these emails and messages: Notifications & Emails. So why would you want to prevent all emails or notifications?

A bug tracking tool allows testing and development teams to record and track bugs in their software. Log, track, and monitor bugs, automate processes, and communicate with your team and customers with OneDesk’s robust set of features.

In OneDesk, your items exist in a structured manner. You can have: Portfolios (and sub-portfolios), Projects, and Folders. That order is basically the hierarchy from top to bottom. In other words, folders exist in projects and projects inside of portfolios (though projects can be independent also). Check out our related articles for more details on work structure. In this article I want to talk about folders and a helpful feature called “move to folder.”

Scheduling is a key aspect of project management. Effective project management scheduling includes more than just setting the project due date. Rather, for effective planning, a project manager should ensure to define the task and project activities, estimate effort and duration, determine dependencies and monitor everything in real-time. OneDesk offers many options and helpful tools for scheduling and monitoring the progress of your tasks and projects.

Subtasks are a popular project management and helpdesk feature in OneDesk. Subtasks are great for breaking down complicated tasks into smaller ones. One stand-out aspect of subtasks in OneDesk is the fact that subtask are full-featured tasks. In many other project management applications, subtasks are ‘weak’ tasks with limited features. With OneDesk, subtasks have the same powerful functions of a regular task.
