Reporting, statistics, Gantt, security and much more<\/h2>\n

After less than one month from last release, here is a brand new Twproject version with exciting new features.<\/p>\n

Reporting<\/h3>\n

Your project data are carefully collected and maintained by Twproject and this represents on of the most valuable aspect of Twproject adoption.
\nHow can you extract your\u00a0data and present it to your users? Actually Twproject has several pages with dynamic filtering capabilities that extract meaningful data, but a customizable reporting systems was missing\u2026. until now!
\nOn version 5.5 we have integrated Jasper Reports<\/a>, one of most powerful reporting engine. Jasper reports add the capability to create your reports in minutes using an intuitive graphical editor.
\nReports are integrated with the flexible Twproject security structure in an easy and practical way, without forcing users\u00a0to write complex query and rules.<\/p>\n

\"Collapsible<\/p>\n

Statistics<\/h3>\n

On task data, there are more statistical information available: ideal trend, worklog aggregated, and worklog done<\/strong><\/p>\n

the visual comparison between trend and aggregation makes you get at a glance the project’s \u201chealth\u201d.<\/p>\n

This is the first step in introducing earned value management<\/em>, that will be completed in one of the forthcoming releases.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Repository<\/h3>\n

In this version we introduced some new features related to security.<\/p>\n

In Twproject you can upload files on tasks, issues, resources and so on. Uploaded files are indexed, for full-text searching, and then saved to a repository.\u00a0 Now you can choose between three different kinds of storage:\u00a0folder, encrypted folder<\/strong> or database.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

In the first case uploaded files are copied as-is on a folder or network disk.<\/p>\n

In the second case, files are encrypted using a AES key<\/a>, and then saved on the same folder. File decryption is automatic when you need to access the file from Twproject, but the file itself remain\u00a0encrypted on the repository. There are tools for generating AES keys and for encrypting existing files.<\/p>\n

In the third case, files are stored on a database table as BLOB data.<\/p>\n

Note: existing files will use its original type and will not be touched.<\/p>\n
