Hello,
I've done quite a bit of searching to find the right software to meet our needs and finally came across VIP Team To Do List. It is close to being perfect for what we need.
The only drawback that I can see is that it will not allow simultaneous access. Our non-profit association is small (2 employees to be exact!). I would like to be able to share the database simultaneously with my assistant. I know that VIP Task Manager has this functionality built in but to be quite honest, it is overkill for what we need. I have trialed both programs. I like the simplicity and features available in VIP Team To Do List and do not wish to use something more complicated.
I would be willing to pay more for the software to have this one extra feature built in. Is this something that you would consider?
I am currently using the trial version and wish to make a purchase in the very near future.

I recently downloaded the trial version of the‘VIP Team To Do List’ and had a question about functionality. Is it possible to configure the software so that when an activity is checked and marked as ‘Done’ it will automatically send an email to a specified address? If not, could this function be added?

I am evaluating your product. It covers all my needs except two. for every todo item, I do a detailed follow-up of its progress. I do this by adding text to comment on a regular basis. example:
task: arrange appointment with plumber
comment:
16/12 17:00 called him. no answer
17/12 12:00 his wife answers. left a message
18/12 08:30 called back since he didn't answer. arranged appointment for next friday
To do his I have to add the timestamp (date and time) manually each time. It would be very helpful to have an automatic timestamp.
Secondly, I'd like to have a shortcut key to save a comment (f.e. ctrl-enter) in order to avoid having to click on the save icon.

I have been testing for program and I find that there is one important item missing.

Nowhere I can fill in how much a task will or can cost.
Is there way to put this in?

Saw that someone had requested task templates in 2006. Just new to VIP organizer and it fits my work well...It would be great to have the ability to create task templates so I don't have to copy and paste the same set of tasks for every category I open.. I am now doing it the long way -- created a category with calls TASKS and i copy and paste this set each and every time to every file I open.
Maybe someone has an easier way of doing this?!
Would also be great if rows/tasks can be color coded or font colors change when it is completed (as an alternative to being struck out).

My other request:
I have problems to see how much time will all the tasks last for today and the other days. This is critical to keep the schedule realistic while recheduling my tasks.
I have to set "filter by due date" (in the future: "filter by from date" - see my previous post) to enter the date and then I have it - the "estimated time" summary shows the overall time. But let's switch to see the overall time for some other days - it requires much too many clicks.
Possible solutions:
1) In the group header (or footer), add the summary for estimated time. I'll then group by due date / from date and see the sums more easily
OR
2) While filtering by due date, left / right arrow should go to the previous / next day. THe overall time for each day is already visible in the "estimated time" summary.

I'm evaluating VIP Organizer and find it really powerful.
Please add (optional) "from" date to the task. Many much less poweful schedulers have "from" date. This is something different than due date:
Due date is a date on which a task must be finally accomplished. From date is a date on my calendar where the task appears. Before the from date, I do not need to think about the task. Ideally, I accomplish my tasks on from date, but when I have problems with my schedule, I move from date to tomorrow and so on, but I know that due date is the final day on which the task has to be accomplished.
Adding from date would make the schedule much more flexible. While grouping or filtering by from date I would immediately see what are the tasks planned for today (and the other days), and which tasks may be moved later, when I have problems (the "days left" column)

I've been using VIP Organizer/Team To Do for almost 2 years now and I really love it. One thing, though, that I wish you would bring back is the calendar that used to be displayed in the filter area.
The newer filter bar, while being an improvement over the old way of filtering, is completely missing the calendar. When I want to see if I have something on a particular day of the week, I need to bring up the calendar from the "Due Date" section inside a task. I'd like to have the calendar right there on the filters bar (or somewhere) so it's in plain view - that way I can see what days of the week each of my tasks are due.

It would be helpful if the task status list could be edited, like the category list. The 'canned' headings have limited application to my situation.

1. Definitely agree that hierarchical subtasks is a GREAT thing to add. I almost picked another product due to that - but didn't since yours allowed me to assign resources.
2. In addition to adding custom icons (another user asked for this) I'd like the Option to GET RID OF ICONS - which don't match the military corporate culture we have around here or use only icons and not words (i.e. if I could upload my own icons I could use a stoplight - green/yellow red without the smiley face or up/down arrows). This applies to categories, priorities and status fields.
3. I'd like the option for "notes" field at the bottom of the page to be like the outlook preview window and "always be on" - not pop up and down.
4. Navigation bar is outstanding - it would be nice to have the other panels formatting be consistent with the navigation bar look and feel. It would be nice to add those other panels to the navigation bar (not as pages underneath but actually within the navigation bar).

The Time Left figure is based on the Due Date. That's important information as it tells me how much time I have to complete a certain task.
It would be great if the tool could also look ahead and tell me something intelligent about the start date: if a task X is due on such-and-such date and is estimated to take N hours (and knowing how many work hours are in a day and how many work days in a week, as requested in separate thread), the tool can tell me how much time is left until I need to start working on task X.
Even nicer if this calculation would take other tasks into account, too. If task X is due on day DX and task Y is due on day DY and Y has higher priority than X and DY < DX, then obviously X needs to start even sooner to allow for being interrupted by Y, etc etc.

I usually enter actual time and estimated time in hours or in days, and the tool supports that. The tool doesn't allow defining the rules for translating the units, thought.
For example, if I enter "7 days", the tool might translate that into "One week". Although it doesn't always work out that way, I'd like my Sunday off. So, for me, 7 days mean 7 work days, or one week and two days.

Could you please consider adding functionaility to the recurrence functions. It doesn't allow for weekly other than 1 week. Sometimes we might want to do a task every second (other) week, or everyt 3 weeks etc. perhaps add into weekly dialog drop down for "every 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks" etc.

Monthly recurrence; Very limited at present. Only caters for fixed day of the month. What if that day is a weekend? Can it be set to (eg). Every first monday, or move to monday if task occurs on a weekend etc. needs much more flexibility in this area.

This software is all about tasks. One of the fundamental things you would expect to find in such software is a calendar of working days, public holidays and start/end times for days. I cannot locate this in the software

Need more options for Estimated time; 2 Weeks is too small. I want to enter tasks that might take months. can you add 3 - 12 weeks?

if I have a category or sub-category selected can you make the category in the 'create task' function default to that category? Is this something anyone else would like to see?
