Plutio is very impressive and is a clean and modern app with plenty of features I'll actually use. However, there are some really annoying things I've found just a few days messing around.
Cons:
1) Views on Lists - When I use the View Editor to create a custom view under List view, that view shows up for all projects in the workspace. Let's say I have a graphics project that needs 1 set of custom views, then another copywriting project with a 2nd set of custom views from custom fields, only 1 of those custom views will display on both projects at the same time. There should be an option to set View templates, and also have 1 view assigned per project, so that way I can see the custom fields associated with that specific project in the List View, just like Clickup. I dont want to have to create a new workspace for every view for each type of project, but so far I see no other way around this.
Solution:
- View templates
- 1 View per project
2) Workspace user limits - I accidentally added 2 codes to the wrong workspace, not my user limit is less than desired on that workspace, which was a test one I dont intend to use anyway. There is no interface or instructions for how to transfer the appsumo codes from one workspace to another. If I want to maintain a flexible working setup then this makes it difficult without contacting support.
Pros:
- Templates - Templates for tasks, projects, and everything else is awesome. This will save a lot of time and repetition.
- Tasks - It took me some time getting used the the Task layout, but I like it. It would be nice to be able to have another view where all subtasks, comments, etc. are shown in one block instead of having to switch tabs, since people may skip the subtasks if they dont see them under the task. Or make the task completion dependent on completion of all subtasks.
- Customization - The ability to customize the workspace, menu, user roles, and more is very useful.
Looking forward to Automations. When will this feature be live? I would like to be able to do stuff like Process.st, SmartSheets, and Pipefy to automate workflow, task creation, assignment, approval steps, etc.
