  • Archival and retrieval of all documents associated with each task
  • Project tracking and historical reporting of all additions and changes
  • Timestamp of every change, with User ID of the person making the change
  • Role-based security of who can do what (e.g. developers, project managers, etc.)
  • ClickOnce deployment (both to the web and to a UNC share on the corporate network)

If you would like to learn more about this system, please visit our feedback page.
