Project View
The project view allows Project Managers and the Team Members
to view a list of all projects that they either own or are
associated with. This view allows the user to see all the tasks
within their projects. Even though users can see all the tasks
within a project, they are only allowed to
edit the tasks that are assigned to them by the Project Manager.
Once the user edits their task, the Project Manager has the
power to Approve or Disapprove edits made by user. In addition
to being able to see the entire project in the web interface,
Project Managers can also open the project by simply clicking on
a link, making ValleySpeak Project Server 100% two way
compatible with Microsoft Project
