vTask Support Moderator Offline Posts: 3596 Tucson, AZ	What do you use vTask for? Jan 20^th, 2008 at 11:34pm We haven't had a poll on the forum for awhile. Poll results can be very interesting, and they often provide new information about topics which help us to develop future versions of the software. So - what do you use vTask Studio for? Did we leave something good out?

For a little more information: I've used vTask to create a number of automation programs.

-Use user input to generate a letter

-automated an invoice payment process (Takes info from a vendor's invoice, gathers info from business systems, and populates spreadsheet that's sent to billing to cut checks)
-impvoved manual process from 12/hour to 162/hour Cheesy

(I know, sounds unbelievable)

-automated referral of accounts to outside vendors

Thanks for the very informative post, Cregantur. That has "testimonial" written all over it... Wink

Especially loved the metrics you included - thanks!

Also, the "Creating standalone apps" votes from many people are a bit of a surprise. Maybe more custom UI commands should be included in vTask after all. These results will be dictating the feature list for future versions.

Thank you for using vTask Studio!
