Use same tasks for every new project?

[dekleinemedia]

Hello,

I'm new on this community and i have a question about the project module.

At this moment you have to create new tasks, with every new project you create. But i would like to know if it is possible to use the same tasks over and over again everytime i create a new project. So the projectnames change, but the projecttasks won't change.

For example;

New project:
Project 1 --> ProjectTask 1 + ProjectTask 2 + ProjectTask 3 + ProjectTask 4 etc etc.

New project:
Project 2 --> ProjectTask 1 + ProjectTask 2 + ProjectTask 3 + ProjectTask 4 etc etc. (the same tasks that i used before in Project 1)

I hope someone can help me with this one. Maybe it is possible to use some others solution for this?

Thanks.

Actually you need new project tasks for each project, once different users will be assigned to them and they will be accomplished in different time (days, months, years) and hopefully the way they will be accomplished may change.
So what you can do:
Create a logic_hook before_save on Project which create the initial project tasks for this new project from a template.

Ping me on skype (dtokeefe) if you would like to discuss this project.

Kind regards

Hi thanks for your reaction.
I'm pretty new with sugar so i don't know how to create a logic_hook and where to save this.
Can you please explain this to me?

Thank you

Hi,

I actually have the exact same question but the answer andopes gives doesn't make much sense to me. I am a returning Sugar member, I used it in 2006 and am in the process of introducing my new company to it. I would like to set up a Project template in which the same project tasks are created.

For example:
Each project will havethe following tasks:
Contract Signed/Down Payment Received
Purchasing
Permitting
Sub-Contractors
Insurance
Accommodations
Auxiliary Equipment

So the main question is: Can we create project templates?

Thanks,

This is exactly what I need.
Unfortunately in CE there isn't the possibility to create project templates. I wonder if it is possible to use any solution by creating a logic_hook ?

Actually you can create a logic_hook before_save for Project module.
Inside this logic hook you need to check if the given project is a new one.
If yes so you can create all pre-defined Project Tasks:

• Contract Signed/Down Payment Received
• Purchasing
• Permitting
• Sub-Contractors
• Insurance
• Accommodations
• Auxiliary Equipment

You may set these project tasks on an array, walk from its and create one by one and assign all of them with the new project.
