What’s new in Teamium: Apr 2024

A new version of task manager is fully integrated with the scheduler and project manager. Room view with linked resources allows you to manage multiple resources together as a group more efficiently. Several time zone enhancements are added in response to customer requests for more powerful features to manage production workflows spanning globally distributed teams efficiently.

TASK MANAGER 

When you assign a collaborator on a project booking, you can also create and assign her one or more tasks with due date, priority, and attachments. You can also assign group tasks for self-selection by a collaborator in the group. You can track task status on a dashboard and automatically schedule past-due alerts. Teamium automatically calculates costs based on booking duration or using timesheet entries.

Task Manager Dashboard

There are several task management tools out there, perhaps with more bells and whistles. But production teams need a simple task management tool that is fully integrated with all the production modules including scheduler, time sheets, and cost tracker for more accurate billing and invoicing. With Teamium, the need for having a separate task management tool is avoided.

ROOM VIEW WITH LINKED RESOURCES

Whether you are managing production studios or post-production facilities such as edit suites, Linked Resources is a game changing feature when you need to book multiple resources collectively at the same time and in the same place to complete a job.  With Linked Resources, you can

  • Find, schedule and link multiple resources including equipment, talent, services and assets in a few clicks.

  • Once the resources are linked, you can move them together as a group with a single drag and drop.

  • You can even split linked resources into individual components and rearrange them. Imagine the power of this feature in the planning process.

  • Flexibility at Your Fingertips: Link resources together and manipulate them as a group – whether it's moving, expanding, splitting, breaking, or regrouping.

  • As you link resources, Teamium automatically adds the cost to the project from pre-defined rate cards.

Room View with Linked Resources

Linked Resources is a life saver for today’s busy production teams who have to manually book and manage resources one at a time today, leading to duplication of effort, errors and miscommunication. Don't just manage projects; conquer them with Teamium's Linked Resources!

TIME ZONE ENHANCEMENT FOR GLOBALLY DISTRIBUTED TEAMS

Our customer teams are increasingly becoming more virtual and global, often spread across multiple countries and time zones. They require more advanced tools for seamless and effective collaboration.

Secondary Time Zone and working Hours

Teamium has implemented several cutting-edge features including:

  • Secondary Time Zone: You can set up an additional time zone and effortlessly view timelines in project or collaborator’s time zone, ensuring clarity and accuracy in scheduling and removing guesswork.

  • Flexible Working Hours: Each collaborator can define their preferred working hours in their time zone. Teamium uses this setting to check the collaborator's availability only during each collaborator’s working hours, thereby reducing scheduling errors. Individual working hours are also highlighted in the timeline for visual reference.

  • Balanced workload distribution. Teamium is designed to promote work delegation and distribution. A global team can take full advantage of this feature for example by assigning sequential tasks. for example editing and color correction in spread-out time zones.
