Merlin is intuitive, easy to use and offers a variety of options to help you plan, take control, collaborate and complete your project successfully.
Merlin is network aware. It’s easy to make Merlin projects available for group collaboration across a LAN environment or Intranet.
Extend collaboration and share projects with customers or colleagues who are not using a Mac (i.e. a PC, Linux client, Android Tablet). Use the integrated web service to publish Merlin projects for online web access or simply exporting PDFs or static HTML for offline viewing.
The Web Browser Module ensures that Merlin projects are always up-to-date and synchronized with each other. In fact, the Merlin project displayed in the browser automatically updates whenever changes are made without having to manually reload the page!

Merlin Server – get the direct URL to open a shared project
Vicky Stamatopoulou on 8. November 2012
Is there a way to have a URL that takes you directly to a project shared by Merlin Server?
Just select the project in Merlin Server‘s ‘Projects’ view
click onto the ‘Link’ button to get its direct URL.
Select the URL as shown on the dialogue
and copy.
If you now enter this direct URL in a web browser, you will access the project without viewing first the start page listing other projects.

Review CeBIT 2012 – Great feedback and lots of praise
Michael D. Schulze on 14. March 2012
ProjectWizards participated last week in the exhibition CeBit 2012 in Hannover (Germany). Just like last years our exhibition stand was embedded in the OS X Business Park. We held numerous meetings and did business networking with well known OS X software vendors. We generated lots of promising contacts with potential partners in the B2B sector.
The large demand from representatives of the Chamber of Commerce (IHK) was unexpected but pleasing. Chamber of Commerce was interested in various applications of Merlin for their members. We were very pleased to discuss OS X and iOS based examples with them.
We offered staged software presentations for Merlin 2. They were well attended and we received much praise from existing Merlin users.
Well over one hundred trade visitors appreciated the opportunity to come to our stand and posed detailed questions concerning Merlin’s usage.
Web sharing module and the possibility of always having your „projects at your fingertips“ (iPhone & iPad) did appear as a particular interest for many customers.
Last but not least, we would like to thank the organizers and the invisible helpers for this successful exhibition.

Configuring your router for Merlin web and Merlin iPhone
Vicky Stamatopoulou on 17. June 2011
In case you need to configure your router to access over the internet by web browser or iOS devices, please check the following configuration information.
Please note:
- Web sharing and iPhone sharing are both using the same port. Per default 7080
You need to handle this port only once. - This information applies when sharing with Merlin for Mac OS X or Merlin Server.
- Merlin’s preference ‘Port forwarding‘ is called ‘Forward in router‘ on Merlin Server
Q. How to enable UPNP on my router?
A. Modern router (purchased within the last 4 years) usually support UPNP, but this service is often disabled per default. To enable it, you need to call the router settings over a web browser. You simply type its IP address and press Enter. D-Link routers have per default 192.168.0.1, Linksys 192.168.1.1, some other routers prefer 192.168.2.1.
If you are not sure about your router’s address, just call your ‘Network’ Mac OS X System Preference pane, select your connected interface, call ‘Advanced…’ and switch to the ‘TCP/IP’ tab. Your router’s IP will be displayed there.
Upon connection to your router, (more…)

Merlin Web – access and edit a project shared by Merlin Server
Vicky Stamatopoulou on 29. March 2011
This is rather basic but since we get asked from time to time in support, please bear with us if you already are familiar with it, otherwise sit back and enjoy.
How do I edit my Merlin projects in the web browser? I share them over my Merlin Server.
Editing your Merlin projects on the web is easy.
- Once you know their address (in this case the Merlin Server’s address) just use the address on a supported web browser*.
- Merlin web shows no inspector, you edit the values in the shown columns directly.
- Expected columns contain automatically calculated values, are thus not editable.
- To edit your schedule use the column set ‘Time Planing’ and edit the ‘given planned… dates’. You can use the mini calendar or type the appropriate dates.
- To update your schedule use the column set ’Project Reporting (Percent)’; or ‘Project Reporting (absolute)’ depending on the reporting mode you want to use.
- To link or indent activities use the according buttons.
- Don’t forget to save your changes.
You may want to check the screencast showing how to enable Merlin Server, and access or edit the project in Safari afterwards: (more…)
