Project Home Area

The project home area displays a number of quick links of things you may need to do, such as e-mail the team or write an announcement. It also lists recent files you have viewed for quick access as well as the day's events, announcements, and current tasks needed to be completed.

Project Plan

Project overview screens allow teams to manage the schedule and resources all within DoDAFLive! or export to MS Project. You can also import your MS Project plan to DoDAFLive! to ensure the entire team is viewing the most up-to-date version by having it on the web.

Another feature of the project plan is the ability to view info files associated with a specific task. Each project also contains its own calendar and discussion board.

Calendar

Keep track of what is going on with each project by using its built-in calendar. You can even import from MS Outlook! Flag team members as participants of an event to send a reminder to them the day before it is set to occur. You can also include a location, status, and priority of each event. Better yet, your user home area calendar will include all the events of every project where you are on the team along with any personal events you may wish to include.

Document Management

With the check-in, check-out feature of managing documents, team members will no longer risk updating or using outdated material. If a document is checked-out, it can not be edited by anyone else until it is checked back in, ensuring that no information gets lost during the editing process. In case a document gets lost after check-out, the toggle in-use can be used to make the document available for editing again.

DoDAFLive!'s document manager also keeps a history of versions for each document as well as a status of being finished or not. Rolling over a file's name will give a description if supplied by the person who checked it in.
