Summer 2009 Release: New Features and Enhancements

updated on March 1, 2011 by TeamWork Live
We would like to make you aware of the new features and enhancements that we have made to TeamWork Live for our summer release. We have been gradually releasing the features as we completed them so you have probably seen some of these changes already, but we want to make sure you are aware of all of them. 

Calendar Enhancements
You can now filter the project calendar so that it only shows items assigned to a specific project member. This allows you to quickly see the items for a project member in a particular project. 

Milestones/Tasks Enhancements
1. When deleting a milestone, you will now be asked if you want to also delete any associated tasks.
2. You can now reassign the responsible user from the bulk update milestones and bulk update tasks pages reached from the "My Milestones" and "My Tasks" sections. Previously, you could only reassign the responsible user when bulk updating from the milestones or tasks sections of a project workspace.

Messages/Comments Enhancements
1. You can now add links and embed external images into comments and messages.
2. When you move your cursor over "team" link for a message sent to the entire team, you will now be shown all the members of the project. This allows you to see who the message was sent to without having to leave the message section. You can also do the same in the message reply window.
3. Each conversation now has a "Link to conversation" under the "More" menu for the conversation. The link can be used to refer to the conversation from an email or another message.

Contacts Enhancements
You can now search your contacts from the contacts section using the contacts search box.

Recent Activity Enhancements
Project status changes will now be shown in the recent activity list.

Administration Enhancements
1. We have updated TWL so that company administrators are now be able to view all company projects, even if they are not a member of the project. Company administrators can access projects that they are not a member of from the company management page.
2. You can now assign someone else as the administrator when creating a project.

Preferences Enhancements
1. You can now configure TeamWork Live to send a confirmation email when it processes an item created via email. The confirmation email will detail how the email was processed, which is useful when you are trying to figure out why an email is not being processed as intended (i.e., an item is being created in the wrong project workspace).
2. We have added the ability to have TeamWork Live email a copy of messages you send to yourself. This allows you to retain an archival copy of the messages that you send from TeamWork Live, which can be important if you want to refer back to a message when you are no longer a member of the project (and therefore cannot access the message directly from TeamWork Live).

Miscellenous
1. We have added an upload progress bar that shows you the percentage of a file that has been uploaded, thereby allowing you to monitor the progress of your file upload.
2. On-hold items are now hidden from throughout the app (including your dashboard, your milestones and tasks lists, and from the reports).
3. The "Share this item" link for an item has been improved so that the link now incorporates the project name if it is a project item.

Thanks again for your continued support. We are working on some exciting features for the next release that we will announce in an upcoming post.
