7.3 Update – What’s in it?

All ProWorkflow subscription accounts should now be upgraded to the latest v7.3 release! This is a fairly solid update and includes some big new features!
.

New Messaging!!

Finally, we got the new messaging out! This is essentially a complete rebuild of the old ‘Communication section in ProWorkflow. We’ve set this up now to be a more fluid way to talk to your staff, clients and contractors. You can find out more on this earlier post.

Landing page/Setup Assistant

To make it easier for users who are new to the system to get up to speed quickly, we’ve created a ‘Setup Assistant’ screen. This is a step-by-step screen to setup the application’s settings and start adding users and projects. This will show for new users, but current customers can still access this through the Admin section.

Widget tweaks

We’ve made a few tweaks to the Time Tracker Widget to make it a little more flexible and also to allow trial accounts to access it. We have made the following tweaks:

• Can track time for General Tasks
• Completed tasks no longer shown
• Now works for Trial accounts

BaseCamp Import (on request)

We have had a number of users wanting to use ProWorkflow as either a supplement to or in instead of BaseCamp. To help these users we’ve developed an ‘Import from BaseCamp’ tool.

We think BaseCamp is a great tool and have actually referred some customers to them if it’s the right fit, but find that some larger companies that started on BaseCamp, have grown to the point they need a more comprehensive project management software tool to manage larger numbers of staff.

Talk to us if you would like to find out more about the BaseCamp Import.

Tweaks to various built-in & custom reports

There were a few quirks and bugs with the Custom Reports tool that we’d been meaning to get to. These are resolved, so this should run a lot more stable now. The Custom Reports Builder is a great tool, but a very complex piece of code. It’s a work in progress so we’re always open to suggestions to improve it. 

Try it out! This is a powerful tool that can help you design the reports you need. If you get stuck, contact us and we’ll help you get your custom report all setup!

Tweak to Client View permission

There is a new permission we’ve added for Clients allowing them to ‘View Projects in Archive”. In the past we didn’t have this option, but enough people asked, so we added it!
