Even though the OSX finder display an iWork "document" as a single file it is actually a package. A package is a fancy term for a directory. Since you cannot upload an entire directory, you first need need to compress the iWork file. To do this, open finder and navigate to the directory containing the file. Then right click on the file and select "Compress". This will create a file with the same name as the one you compressed but with a ZIP file extension. This is the file that you would then select in OnePlace to upload.
Anyone that downloads the file will need to de-compress the file before using it once the file is download to their local machine. To do this, they can just double left click the mouse on that file in the finder.

Tags provide a way to group things together, by placing one or more keywords (that you define) on something. Each user has his own personal set of tags. If you tag something that is shared (such as a shared task), the tag becomes associated with the team that owns the shared thing.
For example, suppose you collect thoughts about starting your own business in your inbasket. If you tag each item with a "Business Ideas" keyword, you've grouped these items together. You can now do things such as search for all items with the "Business Ideas" tag.

OnePlace recently added the Recurring Tasks feature. When inputting a recurring task in OnePlace, input the task details, then select the Repeating tab. Choose how often you’d like the task to repeat (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). Tasks can repeat on a specific date or day of the week. Then, choose if you’d like to have the task updated with the Scheduled On date, the Deadline, or both when it repeats. Once the task is saved, the Recurring Task will be indicated with a green circular arrow on your task list.
The View Deadlines section will show all projects with deadlines in workplaces you belong to as an FYI. If you have tasks that are assigned to you with deadlines, they will show up in a separate section below the list of projects.
A context is a way to organize your tasks based on what you can do given where you are currently at. For example, you can't make a phone call (and expect to be heard) while riding on a lawn mower. Likewise you can't file papers in the office when you are at home (unless of course you run a home-based business). Contexts are a handy way to eliminate tasks you simply can't do given where you're at, helping you focus on the ones you can do.

You can manage all your task contexts in your user settings.
- Click on the Account link in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
- Your contexts are displayed in the Contexts panel. You can add/edit/delete contexts from this panel.

Currently the iPhone only shows you the tasks which are scheduled for today, or scheduled in the past but not yet completed. You cannot currently see your unscheduled tasks via the iPhone.
Most task management systems use the deadline to tell when a task should be completed. OnePlace separates when a task has to be completed by (deadline) and when you want to complete it (schedule). So, your calendar is the place where you schedule your work. OnePlace doesn't automatically schedule work that contains a deadline, therefore it does not automatically show up on your calendar. Click
here to learn more about how scheduling and deadlines work within OnePlace.

OnePlace is a "
rich internet application". OnePlace actually only loads the entire webpage once when you sign in. After that only portions of the page are loaded. The back button is designed to reload the entire last page. Given the design of OnePlace this has no meaning. OnePlace has a better feature called '
Recent Items' that allows you to navigate to items that you have viewed recently.
OnePlace account administrators can add new team members to your account in 2 different ways. One way is by using the Quick Start feature. Within Quick Start, on Tab 2 - Set Up Your Account, invite new team members by inputting their email address, first name and last name. When you select ‘Add’ they will be notified that they have been invited to your account. Once they accepted the invitation and created their own OnePlace account, they will be connected to you in OnePlace.
Account Administrators can also add new team members from their Team Account Settings page. By selecting the ‘Settings’ link in the upper portion of your screen, choose ‘Team Account Settings’. From there, scroll down to ‘Users’ and select the ‘Add’ button with the green plus sign on it. Then, enter in the email address, first name and last name of the team member you’d like to invite, and hit ‘Save’. They will then receive an email invitation to join your account in OnePlace. Once they accepted the invitation and created their own OnePlace account, they will be connected to you in OnePlace.
Only OnePlace Account Administrators can add new team members to the account.
