Bridge24

Users of Asana, Trello and Basecamp who need more reporting than those apps provide can add Bridge24. It adds reporting and exporting features that the three tools lack, so people can sort their project information into more useful shapes. The company describes it as a professional reporting tool with a range of views, filters, advanced reports, interactive charts and export options.

Charts are a central feature. Users can build pie, doughnut, polar, horizontal bar and vertical bar charts, stack them, and export them to PDF. Reports can group tasks on two levels, sort them by any field and include totals such as counts and sums. Results can be exported to Excel, CSV or PDF, with a choice of fields that can include custom fields, task comments and documents.

Grid, calendar and timeline views

Tasks can be shown in a flexible grid, with resizable columns, adjustable field order and grouping or sorting by any field. A calendar view presents tasks by day, week, month or agenda, and tasks can be moved to new dates by dragging them. A Gantt-style timeline shows tasks across time scales from day to quarter and can group them by milestone.

Filters are designed for analysis. Date ranges can be combined with and or or logic across many criteria, and tasks can be filtered by project, assignee and other fields. The task history records earlier values and the time of each change, so a user can see what changed, when, and by whom, filtered by user or event.

Files and a bird's-eye view

The download manager lets people save documents from all tasks in an account, either one at a time or in bulk, with the files kept in a structured zip archive. A global overview brings tasks from every project into one place, so a manager can sort and group work across the whole portfolio before drilling into detail. The company says the views let people switch between a grid, a calendar and a board without losing the information they are working with.
