Can I use email with WizeHive
Yes!
Under Manage Accounts you can configure alerts to send you emails based on various options. For instance, you can get alerts when a new note is added, when a new task is assigned to you, when someone replies to something you've posted or any combination of the above.
In addition, you can easily reply to any email that comes to you by simply replying to it just as you would reply to a person. This will post the message as a reply to the original note or task and if your collaborators are configured to email they will in turn get your reply.
You can also create a new note by sending it to notes@wizehive.com and putting the workbook and page name in the subject line in brackets seperated by a colon (:). For instance, to add a note to the ABC workspace and to a page called Marketing you would send this to notes@wizehive.com and put [ABC:Marketing] in the subject line.
To send a task to WizeHiveyou would do the same thing except you would send it to tasks@wizehive.com. You can also assign a task to a member of your workspace by including an additional colon to the end of the subject followed by their email address. For instance, if you wanted to assign a task to a member of the ABC workspace with email address "test@wizehive.com", you would make [ABC:Marketing:test@wizehive.com] the subject of your email to tasks@wizehive.com
What is the desktop Client?
The desktop client is a downloadable application that can run on your computer where you can view activities, tasks and enter transactions just as if you were in the browser. It is similar to the client applications that are available for products like Twitter. The application requires you to have installed Adobe Air and will run on Windows or MAC based systems. The desktop client represents a nice alternative for those wanting to communicate with all day but not wanting to leave their browser window open.
Can I customize the Desktop Client?
Yes! We include the source code with our desktop client so it is to customize this if you have programming skills. In addition, the desktop client uses our own API so you can use it as an example of how our API works.
Can I get WizeHive data through an RSS feed?
Yes. Through our Manage Workspace tab you are able to go to the RSS section and get the address for the RSS;feed for either all of your workspaces together or just one workspace at a time. These are authenticated RSS feeds which means they are secure, but not all RSS readers to read a secure RSS feed. We therefore also give you the option of using an unauthenticated or public feed, although there is a small risk that someone who figures out your code would be able to view the same data.
Can I use my iphone or other mobile device to access WizeHive?
Yes! We have configured WizeHive to display properly on the iPhone or through other mobile browser windows.
What is the API?
The API ("Application Program Interface") allows you to build applications that can talk to WizeHive. Using our API you are able to pull data out of WizeHive (lists, activities, etc.) or put data into WizeHive . You need to be a programmer to make use of the API. Documentation is contained on our API page.
