TPAssist Feature Summary - Task Automation



  • Automate Task dates - TPAssist 2007 can be used to automatically create and maintain start and due dates for map topics.

  • Link groups of related topics - Known as "Levelling", TPAssist 2007's date automation capability also recognises topic relationship. Relationship can be used to adjust the start and/or end dates of dependant topic tasks.

  • Have complete control - TPAssist 2007's Task Automation is enabled at topic level so it can be controlled for an entire map or separately for individual topics and/or topic trees. Further more, topics with-in a group can be individually included or excluded from the group's Task Automation giving you complete control over your task and/or project maps.

  • Roll-up across multi-maps - TPAssist 2007's Task Automation works in parallel to the Roll-up capability, such that topic task date details will be automatically copied up the tree and also to linked parent maps.

  • Standard tools - TPAssist 2007 supports the typical methods for aligning tasks and groups of tasks (i.e. Finish-to-Start (FS), Start-to-Start (SS), Finish-to-Finish (FF) and Start-To-Finish (SF)). These modifiers can be applied to relationships and to the topic trees allowing you to create and manage even the most complex set of activity or projects.
