We’ve been steadily working away on an awesome new feature for the project details page, we’ve mentioned it previously on the blog here but I thought I’d take some time to explain it in a little more detail.
Inline Editing
This new feature we’re releasing to customers soon (once it’s out of Beta testing) will give you the ability to change information on a project without any page reloading.
It’s currently in beta testing while we work out all the kinks, but basically any field you can edit using live editing turns green and your curser changes when hovering over it…
When you double click it brings up the edit options…
When you’re done you click “Update!”, if you didn’t want to make any changes then click “Cancel”.
All of this happens without a page refresh, which should speed up the time it takes to get things done, in some cases where inline editing wouldn’t work we now just refresh that section, so for example if you add a new task we just refresh the tasks section of the page, not the whole page.
We’ll keep you updated on our progress, we plan to try this out on the project details page then slowly roll it out across the whole program, what section would you like to see it added to next?
