Quick ProWorkflow Pro Tip!

by Julian Stone on in Product, Tips with No comments

If you’re managing a long term Project (or have a massive task list…) keep reading to find out how to simplify your view of the Project Tasks section with two simple clicks!

The first image below shows a snapshot of our Tasks section on the Project details page. All the important information such as Task title, status, assignee, dates and time are displayed. If you have a long list of Tasks, this section could take up a lot of the space on your screen, and you’ll be scrolling for a long time before reaching the next section.

To simplify your view, go to the Project you’re working on, and at the top-right corner of the Tasks section:

  • Click “Hide Completed” to hide completed Tasks

  • Click “Hide Assigned Users” to hide names of Task assignees

The result is shown in the second image below. As a Project Manager you can easily see just the Tasks that still need to be completed, without generating a separate report.

Case Study from Adobe!

by Julian Stone on in Other, Service, Tips with No comments

imageWe are all proud to announce that Adobe decided to do a case study on Proactive Software (Us…)! We are heavy users of Photoshop, ColdFusion and other Adobe tools and have a huge respect for Adobe so this made our day!

Feel welcome to read the case study below:

http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/customer-success/pdfs/proactive-software-case-study.pdf

Here are the pages they added us to:

http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-enterprise.html and here http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-family/showcase.html

On a personal note, I’ve been using Photoshop since version 1.0 so have had a longstanding relationship with Adobe products. They work!

So it’s a massive thanks from the team at ProWorkflow to the guys at Adobe! You guys are awesome, keep the solid tools coming!

Regards,

New font change!

by Julian Stone on in Product with No comments

Many of our ProWorkflow user base are creatives, designers or marketing co’s so have an affinity for good design. We hope you all appreciate the latest update that has a new font throughout! The font is ‘Lato’ and is the cleanest we could find. It’s a subtle change but just a touch friendlier!

Can I save the app to my home screen?

There will still be minor changes for the weeks to come before we add it to the Apple iTunes Store and Android marketplace.

For now:

iOS Users

Android Users

If you are on an Android device the app can be saved to your homepage by clicking the menu button and then ‘Add to Home Screen’.

We are still improving

We wanted to get the app into your hands as soon as possible, however some features such as Quotes and Invoices are still being created. We are also planning a version for larger tablets and iPads.

If you prefer the old application, it’ll still be available for a while, it can be accessed using “/m” as normal.

We’d love to hear feedback!
