We kicked off housekeeping support for acGarage today. acGarage can now perform routine system maintenance tasks on your activeCollab setup. Emptying trash, deactivating passive users / projects, completing child items whose parents are already complete… These tasks are carried out once a month and can save you lots of time and hassle.

acGarage is the first and only comprehensive upgrade, development and housekeeping service for activeCollab. It provides continuous improvement for your activeCollab setup, managed our team of experts.

You can now setup Housekeeping Preferences from your acGarage profile. Here’s a how it looks.

Get Ready: acGarage is coming

We are getting ready for the launch of our next product – acGarage.

It’s a new product and we believe it will significantly help all activeCollab users.

One customer pre-ordered it already and we are looking forward to his feedback.

Any guesses on what will this product do?

😉

We are working on the next release of Reports module for activeCollab and want your feedback on two new reports we are adding: People and System Reports.

We are close to completing development on this. You can see a few screenshots of the new version here on activeCollab forums.

People Reports

Allow you to filter users and see their activity stats. Monitor work progress and hour logs easily. Here’s how we are planning this screen to be.

System Reports

There is no way to find your overall system statistics with activeCollab. Here’s a simple screen that gives you all the “birds eye view” numbers you may need.

What do we want?

We want your feedback on the reporting fields included, the overall look and feel and the ease of use. All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks in advance!
