In VIP Task Manager the project documentation can be attached directly to the tasks. The column "Attachment" shows links to the enclosed documents.

To export task list view from VIP Task Manager into MS Excel, you can use option "Export View To Excel". The software exports the tasks with all active columns. If you need to export a part of the task list (e.g., only incomplete tasks or tasks changed today), you can use Filter Bar to hide unnecessary tasks.

Printing task list view
When the team leader appoints a meeting, he needs to plan what to discuss with the team and what materials can be taken with to describe the project and its status. For example, at the final phase of product beta-testing the test manager wants to conduct meeting with all testers in order to debrief the test team and find out what issues they faced during the project execution. Before appointment of product release date, the test manager should be sure that all bugs, errors and malfunctions are tested and repaired. During this meeting he can discuss outstanding issues with the testers. In VIP Task Manager the overview of beta-testing process can be achieved by using printable task list view. The test manager can print out task list view in the folder "Beta-testing, product version 4.0" with all task statuses, due dates, assignments, priorities, notes, permissions and anything else that would help to describe the testing performance and point to difficulties and issues with the tasks.
