Locking on SMB file server

Cooperlink uses proprietary technology to detect files being edited on your file server. To avoid any conflict, your partners are informed that this document is locked for editing and they are prevented from uploading new file version.

Asynchronously add files in workspace

In previous versions of Cooperlink, when adding thousands of files to the workspace using the Project Navigator, it might take several minutes to display the documents.

Work schedule

In project management, one make a distinction between deadline (when task should be closed in the eye of the accountable = planning) and work schedule (when task should be executed = work). In a task object, Cooperlink now proposes an additional Work section in tasks. This represents the schedule of the effective work to be done.

In the calendar view, planning and work are represented by:

• Planning: blue color, visible as a whole day task

In a business association, for each company integrated into the Cooperlink network, document lock detection is propagated throughout the network.

Alternatively users can resort to the co-authoring feature (see above).
