Project-Extranet updated to v3.0.14

Those with the eye's of eagles will have noticed that we published a minor update to Project-Extranet yesterday containing a small fixes and minor enhancements:

Firstly there was a slight discrepancy in the way the send/skip notification buttons were working in Internet Explorer compared with all other browsers. This was leading to a little confusion, so we have addressed this and now IE operates in line with Safari, Chrome, Firefox and Opera. Thanks to Martin from ProWaste Management Services Ltd and Jackie from SkyCaddie for helping us out with this one.

Also fixed is a bug in the file uploader which sometimes caused documents you uploaded to the same project to be listed when starting a new upload session. This was occurring mostly for Chrome users and should now be resolved.

While were were at it we have added a little feature to the file uploader so that it remembers the last folder between Extranet sessions. We hope this makes your life a little easier, especially for those of you using the Extranet to publish invoices to your customers on a monthly basis!

The Notes App has been renamed to Sticky Notes. We are working on a new, more comprehensive Notes App, so stay tuned for that.

Otherwise v3.0.14 contained some behind the scenes changes that support the new Meeting Workspace App. This is now published as a free addition which you can add to your Extranet via the Extranet App Store.

Thanks to all those who helped test and provided really useful feedback.

I am going to blog with more information on the Meeting Workspace App soon, so check back for a 'how-to guide' and other instructions.

Don't forget, you can try out Project-Extranet for free. Create your own Extranet, quickly and simply by visiting www.project-extranet.com/try/.

That's if for now, have a good weekend everybody

This is snow joke!

How much do you think the snow is costing us right now?

Last year the Federation of Small Businesses estimated that the snow cost UK businesses around £1.2bn.

Employees not making it into work, suppliers not being able to get the information they need from you to fulfil your orders and customers not being able to get their stuff from you. It’s all very frustrating and a bit of a vicious circle.

It’s also something that here at Project-Extranet we know we can help with. Take Lee’s business, Foremost Magnets for example, a client of ours here at Project-Extranet. Last year, with a bulging order book of print work to deliver before Christmas, the snow left him with a stable of designers waiting for briefs and a print shop waiting for final artwork proofs while couriers languished on various parts of the UK’s crumbling infrastructure.

 This year Lee is not going to be one of the 2000 to 3000 businesses that fail because of having to shut down operations. Last year he came to us for an Extranet solution that allows his customers, designers and suppliers to collaborate via a branded Extranet portal.

It’s satisfying to know that, a year later, Project-Extranet is helping his business keep trading. And getting his employees to work on time? Sadly, clever technology solutions can only go so far... a Land Rover does the rest!
