Here's the situation: A quasi-governmental process has a series of public meetings. For each meeting, many briefing documents have to be prepared and published a set number of days ahead. Each doc has to follow the same path to publication: Authoring, Staff-Review, Rewrite-1, Editor-Review, Rewrite-2, DTP, Publish-to-web. A perfect candidate for a template, from which we can create one to-do list per document. The tasks are sequential, and the due date for Authoring is the same for all the documents for a given meeting, and the due date for Staff-Review is 4 days later, etc. So, if dates were part of tasks within templates, we could simply modify a template, inserting the dates that apply to a particular meeting. Then that template could be used to create the workflow (to-do list) for each document for that meeting. For the next meeting, we'd modify the template, inserting a new sequence of dates, and use it for the many documents for that meeting. </p> http://forums.pelotonics.com/topic.php?id=242#post-568 Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:09:36 +0000 danielzev 568@http://forums.pelotonics.com/ <p>We've been working the Google Apps team for the past 6 months making sure that the deep integration we wanted to do with Google Docs could happen!

This is just the start of it. Later next week, each user will be able to customize the dashboard to the way they want it, and have more relevant data to make the Pelotonics Dashboard a place of true value within the application.</p> <p>In step one of this transformation, we had to lay out some major changes in the foundation in how the dashboard works!</p> <p>1. We moved the Global Calendar to its own tab "Calendar" on the Dashboard level.<br /> 2. We removed the Reports tab, and pushed the Time Report and Task Report to their own pages, though they're linked off of the sub-navigation from the Dashboard.<br /> 3. The people tab on the dashboard is available to everyone now (we made sure to keep the permissions in tact though. A simple user will only see the contacts that they could normally see in the projects they're involved with)</p> <p>Now that this is done, we're going to be starting to create the modules for the dashboard that you'll be able to customize on your personal dashboard. If you only want the activity feed and late deliverables, than just choose those 2. But if you want a 1 week view on the global calendar, the task report, a time overview and the latest activity feed. Then choose them all!</p> <p>Email us, call us, or write on the forums if you have any suggestions on how to make the Dashboard better for "you"!</p> <p>Daniel </p> http://forums.pelotonics.com/topic.php?id=235#post-551 Thu, 20 Aug 2009 07:13:49 +0000 ross@cascade.com.tw 551@http://forums.pelotonics.com/ <p>It would be very helpful for us if on the Project Summary Page we could have a text box to add some project summary information. For example, each of our projects is a customer inquiry. We need a place to put the inquiry details and specifications. These would be updated from time to time as the project progresses - but we need somewhere to keep the project specs in front of the group. The summary page seems like the most obvious. Otherwise we we can only highlight the details in messages - but it means we're looking back all the time to find the info we need. </p> http://forums.pelotonics.com/topic.php?id=234#post-550 Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:22:52 +0000 danielzev 550@http://forums.pelotonics.com/ <p>If you have the Skype Firefox plugin, Pelotonics will not work as intended.

Define the type in Pelowork. Import...</p> <p>While not really a problem, it may be one step too much.

The idea is to use 'tags' on the notes, to create the right items.</p> <p>An Evernote tag containing an exact match of a 'Pelowork Milestone' creates a Todo list<br /> An Evernote tag containing an exact match of a<br /> 'ToDo' list creates a task. (if the note contains itself an Evernote ToDo list, it creates a task for every Evernote todo item)</p> <p>Imagine that Pekowork would be able to run these imports in the background, while you are not logged in.

Each Task item in Pelotonics indicated which line items the member was responsible for (i.e. "Review Items 1, 2 &#38; 3 on the attached list"). In order to provide a quick reference to the document, I created a comment on each task to provide a link to the document.

In my specific case,the personal tool is OmniFocus on the iphone and on my Mac. I also use Evernote, but to what I believe is its prime functionality, remembering stuff. A voice note regarding a task goes into OmniFocus. A photo of whatever will become a task, goes into OmniFocus. White board pictures go into Evernote, get OCRed (thanks guys), and go into OmniFocus if necessary.</p> <p>Now, having played a bit with the integration of Evernote and Pelotonics, I think that the combination of the two products could do all of the above, task related information (Due dates and so forth), and a great way of searching for data (OCR and Co.). If only I could store that information in my ‘personal’ store, nothing to do with the ongoing group activities.</p> <p>My suggestion / feature request is:</p> <p>Have a tab at Contact level for storing ToDo Lists and tasks. I would use the ToDo list as a ‘context’, the tasks as tasks, easily imported from my Evernote or created from within Pelotonics. No more need to switch environments, all in Pelotonics. No being bound to a pure Mac tool (fine with me!!, wrong with my 90% Windows customers), using Pelotonics and Evernote on all platforms.</p> <p>Having read Troy’s infoenza and knowing that the ‘Peloton’ idea grew out of personal GTD, this may seem as a ‘back to the roots’. Nevertheless, I think it’s worth a thought.</p> <p>I do have a customer currently, that has 40 people involved in ‘group activities’. I imagine that a 1GB store per person would be enough. Looking at your Platinum price tag for 50GB, this may translate into a $2.5 fee/person/month. A bargain! Make that the same price of $5 a month as Evernote premium, and ... </p> <p>I was wondering if there is anybody else sharing / supporting the same idea / request?</p> <p>Patrick </p>
