We have repeatedly talked about the different task manager, and now let's talk about another such service under the name "Flow». Along with conventional for such service functions such as creating and managing lists and specific tasks, «Flow» allows you to include in the process of other people, that is focused on the joint using.
After registration in the system there is the main workspace application. Immediately, we note that the «Flow» works directly in the browser, so no applications the computer need not be set, and therefore, you can go to any computer that has access to network. And for the Mac and iPhone owners are special applications that allow access to the service through a mobile device or directly from the desktop Mac OS.
Basically, like we have seen in other systems, but I like Android user, disappointing lack of applications for this platform.
Let's go back to the workspace service and see what we can do here.
So, the left is a list of separating tasks for different status and belonging. In the Inbox placed all tasks created without linking the person in charge. It is a kind of aggregator tasks where it is convenient to distribute between the lists and the people. Section Upcoming shows tasks that you need to perform in the near future. Flagged section contains tasks marked with a flag. Actually, the use of the flag can be different: they can celebrate overarching problem or come up with a different meaning to this release. This is followed by a section Delegated, which is convenient to keep track of the tasks assigned to other people, well meaning My Tasks section and so clear.
The following lists, folders and contacts. I want to say about the convenient construction of the structure of all the tasks. Each task is created within a particular list (List). In turn, the lists can be grouped into folders (Folder). Thus, you can comfortably work with complex projects.
When you add a contact to share are prompted to enter a name, email address and instantly connect to a specific list of tasks.
Now do the main, which set up the service, that is, put the problem some.
For each task is given the name, affiliation to any list (if you do not specify a list, the task fits in the same Inbox section), and is given performance period. You can specify the person from your contacts, assign responsibility for this task, and invite more people to participate in this task. For the convenience of searching and sorting tasks can be assigned to different tags. Service allows you to attach to each task a variety of files, and add descriptions.
After creating the task, invited in it people can add comments, files and others, if necessary. displays all the associated activity when choosing a task.
Towards the end we can say about the additional functionality. There is an opportunity to work with tasks via email, using elemental tagging system.
Service can be configured, from user profiles, and ending with an indication of default lists, and time settings.
In general, «Flow» is very pleasant and easy to use. Among the few drawbacks: after 14 days of study will have to pay money, causing sadness and grief in the presence of free competition.
