Online organizers have been on the rise for quite some time. Some are just mirror images of each other, but you may find WebAsyst a bit different.
What is so different about WebAsyst?
For starters, the interface is uncluttered and intuitive. Access to its tools are located at the bottom of the window: files, photos, contacts, mail, projects, issues, notes, and pages.
Efficient use of space is apparent because you have the option of going normal or full-screen mode. Users can be created and given different levels of access to the content stored in your account. So if you’re looking for a tool for your team, this one could be the solution you’re looking for.
File storage
Files can easily be uploaded, and you get a generous 17 MB to do so. Instead of sending files to people you can send them a link to it. So no more having to update something and sending it out to others. Just have them return to the file you have in your account.
Photo album
I especially like the ability you have to drag-and-drop photos from your computer’s desktop and into your browser window. Once you’re done, click the finish button and the upload commences. Beats having to do them one at a time. And when you click on a thumbnail, you’re given an “actions panel” where you can add things like description, or rotate the image, change the title, email it to someone, or copy/move it to another photo album.
Stay in touch with Friends
The screenshot below shows a couple of folders allowing you to categorize your contacts anyway you want them. In addition to all the pertinent details, you can add an image to their profile if you like.
Email
I don’t recall seeing many (if any) online services like this one that include an email system built right into the thing. Create folders for easy storage. You can also create templates, which is a pretty nifty time-saver.
Project tracking
To be honest, it’s not like Microsoft Project, but that’s okay. Create an unlimited number of projects. And something I haven’t seen very often is the ability to view projects with a Gantt chart. Create customers and reports, assign tasks, track costs and choose whether a task is billable or not.
Track issues
Sort of like a to-do list, you can easily sort your tasks along with several other features. For instance, you can filter the view by author, group, status, timing, and issues assigned to you. And don’t forget the reporting capabilities on all of that.
Keep notes
You’d expect something like WebAsyst to include a notes feature — a universal need. But where this tool is unique is its ability to print these notes in a variety of templates. Either use the pre-built ones or create your own with a robust HTML toolbar editor.
Create online books
Yes, books. In fact, this is one of my favorite features as I can see a lot of potential coming out of this one tool alone. When you create a document you can publish it which will include access to your pages in the left navigation. You can even choose from several color theme options to give it a little kick. Just think of how you can offer this to clients for referencing status reports. No more missed emails or hefty files to send.
