projectfacts 6.11 - More possibilities with Microsoft Teams

projectfacts version 6.11

With projectfacts version 6.11 you can work together even more effectively, because with the new release you can integrate Microsoft Teams into projectfacts. This allows you to benefit from the advantages of smooth teamwork:

Create and enter Teams meetings directly in the projectfacts calendar.
View Teams calls and work with them (book times, create tickets, etc.)

All other new features and improvements can be found in this changelog.

Our highlights

Create Microsoft Teams appointments

Create Microsoft Teams appointments directly in the projectfacts calendar and add team members and external participants. The invitations are sent automatically by Microsoft. You also have the possibility to create new appointments with your own meeting link. Participants can join the meeting directly from the calendar entry.

View Microsoft Teams calls

With version 6.11 you can find an overview of your Teams phone calls in projectfacts. You can see the main contact, the time and the duration of the call. Work flexibly with it further, for example by entering a time, creating a new contact or sending a ticket. Use the phone interface in the sidebar to access your Teams calls with one click.

New functions

Performance time: Different types of project times can be classified as performance time, which enables new evaluations of projects.
Data from QM documents can be taken over during project creation (and vice versa).
Duplicate check for mail accounts possible. In case mails are sent to several mail accounts, they are processed only once.
Templates for appointment descriptions. Appointments created from projects or tickets can be provided with a standard text that also supports placeholders (project name, ticket ID, etc.).
