You can identify mind map nodes that have been copied to the kanban or planning by the resprective icons appearing on the right of each node.
Time tracking: Compare planned and actual effort spent on tasks
Time tracking "en passant"
No more excel lists: You don't have to update long excel lists and add all information manually.

Stop watch: Team members can track the time they spend on tasks precisely with the integrated stop watch in InLoox for Outlook. As soon as they start to work on project-related task, the can just start the stop watch. When they've finished the task, they can save the tracked time directly to the corresponding project task. So they don't have to guestimate their work times and can concentrate on the tasks at hand.

Security: Protecting your project data is our priority
Roles & user permissions
Flexible permission management concept: The finely structured and freely definable security architecture allows you to assign permissions without much administrative effort. With read-only or editing permissions you can make sure that only authorized users gain access to sensitive data.
Role permissions: Are defined according to the function in the project (i.e. project manager, team member). InLoox assigns permissions according to each role. Depending on what role you have, you'll be able to access different information in different projects.
User permissions: Apply to all projects and are hierarchically above role permissions. E.g. person A is team member in project B + the role "team member" doesn't allow to view budgets, but person A has user permission for this = Person A can see the budgets in project B.
Integrated security
Active Directory & Exchange Server: InLoox connects with Active Directory and Exchange accounts so you only have to create and store user accounts once. This allows you to include freelance employees, trainees or suppliers effortlessly.
Connectivity & authentication: Connecting to the InLoox database is completely secure thanks to firewalls, logical separations and powerful permission concepts. Download the PDF on connectivity & authentication here
