Ad-Hoc : Free Online Management Tool

Adhoc is a free online management database which allows multiple users to simultaniously view and edit lists of task, issues, requirements and other custom list types.



Organizations and Projects

Organize your lists by organization and project. When a stakeholder logs on they will only see the projects that concern them. Stakeholders don't want to wade through projects that have nothing to do with them so Adhoc only shows them the ones they have been assigned an interest in.



You can belong to multiple organizations and multiple projects at the same time. Once you are on the system for one project you can create your own organization regardless of how you first joined the system.



Comments

Let stakeholders have their say whilst keeping control of the list.



Items appear as a spreadsheet style list. With information divided into columns and each item on its own row. People who have the right to see a list but not edit its items can add comment threads to an item without changing the item itself.



Comment threads show as yellow indented items and can be expanded or hidden at will.



Custom Columns

Add your own columns to existing list types and create your own custom list types. The standard list types are Action, Issue and Requirements. These come with predefined columns, formatting and filters. You can reformat the columns in these lists or add new columns of your own.



Values can be formatted to cash, time, duration, flags and more... Columns can be resized and re-ordered. You can create your own drop down menus containing any thing you want or and add drop down menus holding references to other users on the system.



Personalized Page Settings

When you have more than a few items in your list you will need to have someway of organizing them so you can find what you want quickly. If your list gets big enough you will want to load only part of the list at a time.



These needs are met by the page settings dialog where you can setup server side filters/sorts and specify page sizes. Each user can setup their own default filters and sorts. Some filters filter for the current user so you can find information related especially to you.







Easy to Use

Adhoc is layed out alike a table in a spread sheet. Just add rows and fill in the values. Advanced features are available but not required.



Colaboration

Users added to a project can see all documents in that project and be given rights to edit them.



Permissions Control

Team members and stakeholders can be given different permissions for each document.



Comments

Any body with read access to a document can add comments to its items without affecting the items directly.



Sort and Filter

As lists get bigger Adhoc lets you show a subjset of list items and order them any way you want.



Standard and Custom List Types

You can add extra colums to existing list types or create new list types of your own.
