Our recent activity screen works as a “feed,” designed to work like your own private twitter.   Included in this feed are notes that are entered into the system manually, replies to the notes, and system generated messages that occur when new tasks are added, task statuses are changed, files are uploaded, etc.

Sometimes (or most of the time) it would be nice to see just the notes, but be able to see other things from time to time.

We have added a drop down filter box onto the activity screen to do just that.  Simply pick “notes,” “notes and replies,” or “all activity” from this list to change your settings.

Just a few weeks ago we added Page Groups to WizeHive.  You can use Page Groups as categories to group pages together.    This is one of my favorite new features.     Anyway, with the release last night you can now modify the order in which page groups appear.

Ultimately we may create a drag and drop way to do this but for now it is easy to change the order of page groups as follows.   When you create a page group (from manage workspace -> pages) you will now see a new field called “Order.”   If the order is blank or if two groups have the same order, they will be sorted alphabetically.  But if you want one page group before another, simply give it a lower number.

Once a task is completed in WizeHive it stays on your screen with a light gray line through the task to show it has been completed.   (Picture below).    The idea is that if one person creates and assigns the task it is good to leave it up there so they are able to see that it has been completed.

Nevertheless, there comes a time when it is good to move completed tasks off the screen.   You do this by clicking on “Clear/Archive Completed Tasks” which changes the status of a task from Completed to Archived.    Since the task is marked as Archive you could always retrieve it, but if you are using the standard settings (Show Open, In progress and completed tasks) they won’t show on the screen.

One thing to note is that only the person who created the task or an administrator can move a specific task from completed to archived.

3D Task Management is a cool tool we created to mimic what I’ve been doing manually for many years when managing complex projects.   It allows you to easily create a grid-like layout of your tasks with the ability to change rows and columns to see the data as you like.

3D Task Management is one of our optional “WizeApps” that appear as a tab in a given workspace.

To enable 3D Task Management for a given workspace, go into “Manage” workspace and then click on “Enable” alongside the 3D Task area as follows:

We have some exciting new videos to show off some of our features and we have created some videos to see what they are and how to use them.

Videos include an overview of our Twitter Interface, Task Manager, 3D Task System, and our DeskTop Client.

We are pleased to share twitter integration with the WizeHive family!

You are now able to send tasks and notes to WizeHive directly from Twitter and are able to retrieve tasks also. Here is our video
