The Task Master team is pleased to announce that SharePoint Task Master 2.0 is now available. Featuring powerful new features such as the ability to create new tasks based on start date and variables such as work, due date, or duration; multi-line task editing; and more, the new release represents the most comprehensive tool available for scheduling tasks in SharePoint.

Complete details of the new features included in SharePoint Task Master 2.0 are as follows:

Create tasks with Start Date & Due Date, Start Date & Work or Start Date & Duration – Users can now create a task using the Start Date and Work if they know when the resource can start, and how long it will take the resource to complete the task. Users can also create a task using the Start Date and Duration if they know when the task can start and the length of the task.

Multi-line Editing – You can now modify many task items at one time.

Save and Refresh – If you have not saved the changes, you can "undo" them via the Refresh button.

Show Selection – You can focus on a certain number of specific task items by clicking on their check boxes and clicking the Show button.

Print – You can now print your schedule out using the Print button.

Help –  If you have questions about about any of the terminology, or about how exactly to access the new features,  you can always click on Help to go to our online documentation for Troubleshooting and Tips.

To learn more about how all these features work, you can view our online documentation, or download a free 30-day trial today. Our technical writer, Katie Packard, will be providing step-by-step use cases to demonstrate the new features in the days to come.
