Android App Updated with Dashboards, Time Tracker, and New Widgets
In the effort to make project collaboration on the go even more efficient, we recently empowered the Wrike app for Android™ with three important features that many of you requested: the familiar multiple Dashboards and time tracker, as well as three all-new Android widgets. 1. Multiple Dashboards: Just as in Wrike's desktop version, you can now create multiple Dashboards in the Wrike app for Android. Instantly scroll through to see project statuses, meeting updates, and your most important tasks. 2. Time Tracker: We've adapted another powerful desktop feature to bring it to you on your Android device. Track the time you spend working on tasks while you're on the go. Keep accurate time logs no matter where you are by clicking the familiar time tracking button. 3. Android Widgets: This is an exciting, all-new feature specifically for our friends using Android devices — you can now add three different Wrike widgets right to your home screen: + Add new task. This simple widget has a plus button that allows you to create a new task in a pre-defined Wrike folder. Perfect for those times when you need to capture an idea and don't want to log all the way into the app. + Stream. You can display Activity Stream updates for the whole account or for a particular folder, and apply your chosen filters. Staying on top of all your updates is now as easy as glancing at your home screen. + Task list. Like the stream widget, you can also choose to display a list of tasks from within a specific folder. You can keep track of: tasks for a particular project, your own to-do list, or tasks you've assigned to someone else. If you haven't downloaded the app yet, get it on Google Play and send us your favorite screenshot of the Wrike app in action. We'd love to see how you Wrike on the go!

Projects: A New Way to Organize!
We built Wrike to be extremely flexible so it fits the way you organize, manage, and report on work without forcing you to change the way you work. For years, the basic building blocks of Wrike have been Folders, Tasks, and Subtasks. Now we’ve added Projects, making it easier to track larger initiatives in Wrike. Manage Your Largest Goals Use Projects to manage a group of tasks that are part of a larger goal. With Projects, you can track the status and due dates of the project separately from individual tasks and can store files and notes that need to be accessible to the project team. Simplify your workspace by separating Projects from Folders Store project files and notes in a central place instead of inside tasks Easily report on status across all your projects in one view (Enterprise plan) Working With Projects is Easy Projects and Folders both appear in the left-hand panel and projects are identified by a clipboard icon. If you have existing folders that are already being used for projects you can convert them by right clicking the folder and selecting "Turn into Project." Create new projects from the + button next to the Projects (formerly labeled Folders). Projects Makes Reporting Easier When reporting to executives, sometimes tasks provide too much detail. With Wrike’s Enterprise edition, you can build custom client status reports just for Projects, so it’s easy to provide a birds-eye view of the project status with a push of the button. Best Practices for Using Projects, Folders, Tasks, & Subtasks Use Folders to categorize work. For example, folders can be used to group projects and tasks by team, by client, by stage of work, or however fits your team best. Folders can contain subfolders, projects, and tasks. Use Projects to manage a group of tasks that are part of a larger goal. With Projects, you can track the status and due dates of the project separately from its individual tasks, and can store files and notes that need to be accessible to the project team. Tasks are the activities you need to complete. They can be standalone activities or part of a larger project. Finally, Subtasks are the steps you need to take to complete a task. Subtasks are particularly useful if different people are responsible for each step. Need more info? Check out the Projects page in our Help Center or leave a comment on this post.
