Brilliant!</p> <p>But within a project, on the message tab, there doesn't seem to be a way to collapse the body content of messages so just the subject line shows. That would be a great feature! </p> <p>In one project I collect press releases and other author information for the books I review. At any given time there may be 10 or 20 messages, sometimes LONG ones, and it's impossible to find the particular message on the page except by scrolling down and reading each subject line. I suppose I could do a search, but that seems cumbersome.</p> <p>So--any possibility of collapsible messages? Best would be the ability to collapse and open individual messages on the page, but to make it easier (maybe?) a link to a page just listing the subject lines would be fine. I could click on the subject and go to the message I needed.</p> <p>Thanks for a great product. What got me interested were (a) free file storage (something the competition doesn't seem to offer) and (b) integration with Evernote (which is fast becoming my main brain).</p> <p>Cheerily,</p> <p>Dan</p> <p>Butte College<br /> Oroville, CA </p> http://forums.pelotonics.com/topic/multiple-evernote-files-in-one-message#post-307 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 01:51:56 +0000 trillin 307@http://forums.pelotonics.com/ <p>Hey hey, </p> <p>In the Evernote 'add' section, is it possible to add in multiple evernote files to the same message? </p> <p>At the moment, I am adding one as message/task, then need to save it, add a second as message but copy the content and hit cancel so that file isn't unique message, navigate to original message, hit edit, then paste details of second file(canceled message) into first evernote message created. A little fiddly, and if there's a better way to do this that I've missed, I'd love to hear it! </p> <p>Make sense? </p> <p>ALSO - is it possible to reassign messages to different projects? Perhaps a symptom of a chaotic workflow, but if message A is created in project X, but it is better suited to project Y, is it necessary to copy/paste the message, delete the instance in project X, then create new instance in project Y by pasting content?

Here are a few of those steps.</p> <p>1. On the Global Calendar, there is a agenda view now (which you can print too).</p> <p>2. On the new Agenda View for the Global and Project level calendar's we added in a new filter, so you can just view 1 month if you want.</p> <p>3. The payment system was only sending out invoices from the auto bill once every<br /> 30 days. Though if you upgrade and get charged money, you should get an invoice for that too... thus, I've fixed that now. Anytime the we process your credit card, you get an invoice through email.</p> <p>4. The time stamp is on the messages now (it use to only be on the comments).</p> <p>5. We totally redid the To-Do List Template section. We had a customer with over 100 To-Do List Templates and the page was loading slow. So I decided to redo the way the page works! You'll notice a sortable list like on the Projects Tab with all of your To-Do Lists and from there you can go in and edit one of them. This way it's a little easier to see which List you want to work on (thanks Carol for the suggestion on this).</p> <p>6. Various minor bugs fixes (functional and GUI).</p> <p>That's it for today!</p> <p>I just saw the Demo of the iCal feed that's in development. It's hot!!! Not only are your Milestones and Tasks (that have a due dates on them) going to come over to your Calendar application, we have a full Calendar in Pelotonics with recurring appointments, and the whole 9 yards. Get ready for an iCal feed that is filled with kickassness.</p> <p>Daniel Marashlian, M.Ed. &lt;---- I love throwing that in every once and a while! </p> http://forums.pelotonics.com/topic/how-do-i-activate-a-completed-task#post-306 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 16:15:53 +0000 danielzev 306@http://forums.pelotonics.com/ <p>One of our customers was confused on how to active a completed Task.</p> <p>So I felt that I should post this for everyone to see...</p> <p>Answer: </p> <p>On the TASKS tab, all of your To-Do Lists and active Tasks show up initially. We decided on Page Load to “hide” the completed tasks as it was adding a lot of clutter to the page if you had a lot of Tasks.</p> <p>Thus we created a new filter on the Tasks pages. It’s called “Show Completed Tasks”. Just click on that link and all of your completed Tasks will show on the Page.</p> <p>Watch this <a href="http://screencast.com/t/KtVydpDNbtM">PeloCast</a> for a video demonstration. </p> http://forums.pelotonics.com/topic/121708-release-notes#post-302 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:38:47 +0000 danielzev 302@http://forums.pelotonics.com/ <p>1.

Just signing up to test the beta program for our organization, and before we get started, I'd like to have some additional detail on the security of the site. I understand the privacy and permission settings, and I am referring to the security that protects files we upload and communications stored on the site.</p> <p>I understand there is a difference between the security on the beta (unpaid) plan and the paid plans - but don't really know what the details are for each and how our information is protected. Could someone provide more information or point me to some details on this?</p> <p>2. Is there functionality built-in to Pelotonics that will allow me to quickly export a project (saving the files/comments/lists/timetracking etc) to my network once it has been completed?

Like...what users to add to the system and what passwords to use; (you wouldn't want to line item each thing into a new task but since you can't add notes you don't really have a choice) or even how to configure the Proxy that Internet Explorer is supposed to use, etc., etc.</p> <p>The template is a great way to get started but it's not going to be able to hold enough actual information outside of a general description. I like the Template idea, but I need to be able to add more details to the templated items. </p> http://forums.pelotonics.com/topic/drag-tasks-from-one-to-do-list-to-another-on-a-mac#post-254 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:48:26 +0000 callistoconsult 254@http://forums.pelotonics.com/ <p>Should I be able to drag a task from one to-do list to another with a Mac browser?</p> <p>I can rearrange items within a list (though it's a bit sluggish), but if I try to drag a task from one list to another, I see a blue line randomly jumping around between items (often nowhere near where my cursor is) and then nothing happens when I drop the task.</p> <p>Max OS 10.4.11<br /> Same issue in both Safari 3.1.2 and Firefox 3.0.3 </p> http://forums.pelotonics.com/topic/to-do-list-email-reminders#post-255 Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:15:03 +0000 bbinder 255@http://forums.pelotonics.com/ <p>Is there anyone who would be interested in more reminders, aside from myself? :P</p> <p>I'd love to have daily emails (or some equivalent) sent out for tasks instead of just having a single reminder date.</p> <p>There are times when it would be nice to have a daily reminder sent out at a specified time or interval that reminds someone that they've got something urgent that needs to get resolved.</p> <p>Emails get buried (as some of us can relate to) and if someone isn't staring at their dashboard all the time, a more constant reminder sent off and received on (say) a BlackBerry would be beneficial in our organization.</p> <p>The request would be to expand the available options for reminder dates into something more frequent.
