THis could be a growing list but I would like to see:

(1) Customer ROLE: make it so we can specify whether a customer role cannot 'see' or 'interact' with staff in a project.

(2) Employee ROLE: specify whether a staff role can or cannot 'see' or 'interact' with customers in a project. Essentially, as an admin, I would like to sometimes block staff and customers from knowing about eachother (because sometimes these are contractors).

(3) Gantt Chart Project-Wide: show Gantt across all selected 'projects'.

(4) Budgeting feature: I would like to create products, product categories, recurring products.

(5) Budgeting feature: I would like to create Estimates and budgets in Factory Nova. WHen clients approve the estimate we can turn estimates into projects.

(6) Time Spent Popup: Time spent feature can pop-up into a small separate window. It is frustrating when the time spent tracker stops everytime you need to view information in other areas of factory nova.

(7) Time Spent Manual Entry: It would be a great feature to be able to manually enter in the 'time spent' for a task because sometimes we forget to turn the 'time spent' on and off.

(8) Task Assignment Conflict Tracker: It would be nice to recieve a message if there is a time conflict when assigning tasks. It does not have to block assigning the task, but simply show there is overlap.

(9) Employee Gantt Chart: Show a Gantt chart that shows all employees for specified projects and/or tasks and/or companies.

1,2: we're planning a big refactoring of the roles system. There will be a lot of improvements and i will take into account your suggestions.

3,9: Hmm... i'll keep in mind your suggestion, but i can't say, when (or if) we will make it possible.

4,5: We didn't plan such feature yet. But if you give us a detailed description of this function, i will include it in our plan faster. A detailed description of the whole budgeting system.

6: Added to the plan.

7: You can manually enter the 'time spent' in Worklog.

8: Good idea. Added to the plan.

My major request for roles is that they stay linked to a central role. Right now, if you decide to change a privilege, you have to edit each user's permissions on each project they are a member of...I would rather create a new role for a new need than have all sorts of per-user roles floating around.

I understand your point.
I think we will include this as an option.
