It's been another been crazy busy month here at TeamworkPM! We have some massive improvements for you this month.
Recurring tasks!
We are excited that one of the top requested features has been rolled out. This has just gone live today - read the blog post – New in TeamworkPM: Recurring Tasks.
Notebooks overhaul
Another big improvement to TeamworkPM; this too get it's own blog post – Notebooks - a love story.
Custom iPhone/iPad and favicon logos
A subtle but nice improvement to TeamworkPM, check out the blog post – New in Teamwork: Custom favicon and iPad/iPhone icons.
Ability to change the name of a file uploaded
Such an obvious feature that we over-looked it for so long! We finally added the ability to rename the files you upload to Teamwork. Useful if someone uploaded a file with a generic name such as MeetingNotes.doc
Improved file upload screen
The file upload screen got a bit of love this month. We now present the file upload in a "Lightbox" overlaid on top of the screen. We've also improved the UI with better styling and spacing. Everything looks much neater and feels better.
"View all files" option added
By popular request we added in the ability for you to quickly load in the full list of files instead of 25 at a time. You'll find the option at the bottom right of the files page (when you have lots of files).
Quickly add time across all projects
Many of you are going to love this – you can now log your time on any project directly from the All Time page. You can multiple items at once nice and quickly.
Installation logo and company logo are not the same
In the past your site logo and company logo had to be the same image. But this may not suit all of you! We have added the ability to upload a different site logo and company logo. It's s small thing but may of you requested this feature.
Other Improvements
