WizeHive Calendaring & other upgrades

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 | Uncategorized | Mike L

We are pleased to share a number of upgrades to WizeHive with you in this release.

The most important item in our new release is our calendaring system. The calendaring system lets you view the tasks in your workspace in a monthly, weekly or daily view. In addition, you can enter other events, such as meetings into the calendar too. On the monthly view, tasks show up with a white font and tasks with a yellow font. The background is all the light blue but in some future release you will be able to color code them by person.

On the daily view, tasks appear at the top and scheduled events appear at their scheduled time.

In addition you can use the ical subscription to send your calendar items for any workspace to an ical compatible calendaring system, such as google’s calendar. You simply copy the URL string for the calendar and follow the directions for pasting it into your favorite calendar system.

Another new feature in this release is our links page and links bookmarklet. You can already embed links into notes in WizeHive, but the links page allows you to build an entire page of links for you and your workspace team to share. In addition, we have a bookmarklet tool which you can drop onto the toolbar of all popular browsers to quickly capture web pages and send them to WizeHive. Below is a picture of the links page and the link on that page to the bookmarklet. You can also find the bookmarklet here.

IMPORTANT: All new workspaces created in Wizehive will have the calendar and links feature enabled by default but existing workspaces will need to have them added. Adding them is easy. From the workspace page, click on “manage workspace.” From there click on “WizeApps.” From there simply enable whichever applet you want (calendar or links) for your workspace.

There are some other useful enhancements to this release including an upgrade to how our activity system treats activities. For instance, when you create a task the system creates an activity. In the past when you deleted the task the activity would still stay and some users felt it was odd that the task disappeared but the related activity did not. In this situation the activity will still be there so we don’t lose the audit trail…but there will be a reply created that indicates that the task was deleted when it is deleted. This same change was made in other areas of WizeHive to better track things that are happening.
