We’ve just upgraded how you attach and manage files in Flowlu, and it’s a big one. The new file attachment feature now comes with a modern look and a much smoother experience. You can upload files from multiple sources at once, switch between them easily, and enjoy a more streamlined interface across tasks, contacts, projects, and other modules.

And now, Dropbox is part of the mix! You can connect your Dropbox account to easily attach files directly from there. Right now, Dropbox files do count toward your Flowlu storage—but we’re working on an update to match how Google Drive works, so linked Dropbox files won’t affect your storage in the future.

It’s all about making file sharing easier, faster, and better for your team.

📱 Flowlu Now Optimized for Android Tablets!

Flowlu’s mobile apps have long been available for iOS and Android smartphones, and now we’re bringing full support to Android tablets as well! Moreover, with this update, we’ve introduced landscape mode for Android smartphones, giving you even more flexibility when working on the go.

The app adapts seamlessly to different screen sizes, ensuring a smooth and intuitive experience on any device. 

This means better flexibility and usability, whether you’re managing projects on your phone, iPad, or Android tablet.

Try it out and let us know what you think! 📣 

You can now track your tasks with numerical widgets in Flowlu. These let you see key task stats at a glance—no extra clicks needed.

You can either create custom widgets or use one of our presets:

• Tasks in Progress – How many tasks are currently being worked on.
• Total Overdue Tasks – Tasks that should’ve been done but aren’t.
• Tasks Completed This Month – Everything finished in the current month.
• Time Logged for Closed Tasks – Total hours spent on completed tasks.
• Closed Tasks Revenue – How much you’ve earned from finished tasks.

🔧 Make It Work for You

The best part? You can customize these widgets to show exactly what you need. Want to see only tasks assigned to a specific teammate? Done. Need a widget for overdue tasks in a particular project? Easy. Some other ideas:

🔹 Tasks in progress for a specific assignee or team
🔹 Overdue tasks grouped by project or client
🔹 Completed tasks within a certain date range
🔹 Logged time for tasks with a specific tag
🔹 Revenue from closed tasks in a particular pipeline

Set up your widgets and get the numbers you actually care about—without digging through reports.

No more dragging tasks around just to keep things aligned. Auto Scheduling in the Gantt chart takes care of dependencies for you—when a task moves, related tasks adjust automatically. 

🔧 How to Enable Auto Scheduling

You can turn Auto Scheduling on or off by navigating to:
Project → Gantt → ⚙️ (Settings) → Automation

When Auto Scheduling is OFF

• Task dependencies won’t affect schedules.
• You can freely move tasks without impacting others.

When Auto Scheduling is ON

• Dependencies will automatically adjust task dates.
• Tasks will shift based on changes to linked tasks.

✨ Key Features:

• Automatic Deadline Adjustments: When linking tasks, the next task will automatically align with the previous one.
• Lag/Delay Between Tasks: Add a delay between linked tasks by clicking on the dependency line. Lags can be set in hours or days and will be considered in future schedule adjustments. Task links with a delay will be highlighted in blue on the Gantt chart.
• Automatic Task Rescheduling: When moving a task with dependencies, the linked tasks will automatically adjust. Changing a task’s due date will shift dependent tasks accordingly.
• Fixed Start Dates for Linked Tasks: If Auto Scheduling is enabled, the start date of a dependent task cannot be manually changed. The start date will be calculated based on the due date of the preceding task and the assigned lag.

Try it out now in your Gantt chart settings and experience smarter scheduling!

Milestones have returned, and now they’re clearer and more powerful. Think of a milestone as a key moment in your project—a point where something important is completed.

We’ve upgraded the milestone details page to make tracking even easier. Now, milestones have the same statuses (stages) as tasks, plus some extra fields. More importantly, they now support dependencies, meaning you can prevent a milestone from being completed until certain tasks are finished.

✔️ How Milestones Work

Milestones aren’t just tasks with a different name—they serve a distinct purpose. Here’s what makes them different:

• Fixed Start & Due Date – A milestone marks a moment in time, so its start and due date are the same.

• No Subtasks – You can’t add tasks under a milestone, but you can convert a task into a milestone if it represents a key point in the project.

• Always Part of a Project – Every milestone belongs to a project. If you remove the link, the milestone automatically turns back into a regular task.

🛠️ How to Create a Milestone

You can set up milestones in several ways:

• From the Work Structure

• Using a Project Workflow

• On the Gantt Chart (where milestones appear as diamond shapes and can be linked to tasks)

• By converting a task or subtask into a milestone
