Increase your productivity with RSS

First of all, what is RSS? It is an abbreviation that stands for Really Simple Syndication — a format for delivering regularly changing Web content. Many news-related sites, blogs and other online publishers syndicate their content’s updates in the form of RSS feeds to help you keep track of newly published information.

How does RSS help you to be more productive?

The benefit of RSS is the aggregation of content from multiple online sources in one place. RSS makes life easier for people who regularly use the Web. You easily stay informed by receiving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You keep your privacy because, with RSS, you don’t have to subscribe to each site's e-mail newsletter. You save a lot of time because you do not need to visit each of your favorite sites individually.

How can you save time following your project’s progress with Wrike’s RSS feature?

You can use Wrike’s RSS feeds with Wrike’s e-mail to-do lists or instead of them, if you find it more convenient. Wrike’s RSS feature is a perfect complement to on-site update notifications that you see in the upper left-hand corner of your workspace. RSS might be especially helpful when you are out of the office because you will still get relevant and up-to-date information about your team’s progress for you to read in your own time. This information will be available with your smart phone, BlackBerry, iPhone or other mobile device.

How can I use RSS?

You need to have special software called an "RSS reader." It can be either Web-based or desktop-based. There’s a handy list of RSS readers in Wikipedia. Google Reader or Bloglines are very popular. Besides, you may already have one in your browser, if you use Fire Fox, Internet Explorer 7 or Safari.

To get updates from people you are collaborating with via RSS, you just need to click on the blue RSS icon in the upper right-hand corner of your workspace.

This will allow you to stay in the loop without having to stay logged on to wrike.com all the time. All the messages will be chronologically listed in your RSS reader. When new information is added to a task, you get an update with a link to the renewed task instantly.

With little helpers, like Wrike’s RSS feeds, you become more productive and manage your projects more efficiently.

Drag-and-Drop Folders to Quickly Move Them

In the best Wrike traditions, we keep bringing the convenience of using your favorite desktop software to the Web. A couple of weeks ago, we introduced a right-click context menu for the folders tree. Now we are introducing drag-and-drop for folders. 1) To move a folder: Left-click on the folder, hold the mouse button and pull the folder to the place where you want to see it. 2) To include a subfolder in several folders: hold CTRL. If you want one subfolder to be included in many folders, hold the “ctrl” key while doing the previous operation. The subfolder will stay where it was before the drag-and-drop, and it also will be included in the new place where you dropped it. Tip to remember: When you put something in a shared folder, it automatically becomes shared as well. For example, if you move a project folder to a folder shared with your client, your client will see the project folder and underlying tasks.

We’ve heard from many of you that forwarding your emails to Wrike and replying to notifications, as well as our unique Outlook and Apple Mail add-ins are extremely helpful in your day-to-day work. On our forum, you also shared some cool ideas for perfecting these features so that they suit your needs even better. As we are passionate about making you more efficient, we didn’t hesitate to bring them to life and generate new simple ways to create tasks and comments from your email account. Emailing tasks into the required folder is now as easy as 1-2-3 There’s the good old way to email tasks into a particular folder by putting its name into the subject line, but what if there are several folders with the same name? To prevent any confusion or mistakes when emailing tasks, you can now use the folder’s unique ID number. Are you wondering how you will know the ID number? This is easy – go to “Folder info” and click on the permalink right above the folder name. Once you have the number, you can create tasks in this folder just by sending an email to [email protected], where 123 is the folder ID. If you add the folders that you use most often to your contact book, the process will be simplified to choosing a recipient. Add comments to tasks while skipping the “Re:” step Imagine the situation: you need to send an e-mail to your client and at the same time save it as an update to a task. In case you don’t want to confuse him with a long e-mail subject with brackets and other specific syntax, simply add [email protected] as a CC to your e-mail! To obtain the task ID, just copy it from the “Permalink” on the top left of the task pane. You then add the ID number into the address line, write your comments in the body of the email, and that is it! No need to dig deep into your inbox for a particular task notification in order to reply! We’d love to know what other things could make email integration even more convenient for you and are eager to read your ideas in our voting forum!
