   Hi everyone & Pelotonics crew -

   Thanks for the great work so far.

   I'll be responsible for managing projects and in order to get some of the other team members motivated enough to check the progress by logging on to Pelotonics (rather than just asking, repeatedly...) there are a some fundamental things I'd like to see.

   In order to at least try to keep on-topic within a thread ;) I'll stick to the Dashboard for now.

   First, and this is really a global thing, it would be nice to let a user put the calendar at the bottom.

   Functionally, though, my request here is that columns could be added and labeled; for example, "Assigned To" should be a column head and the date (I believe this is the date on which an entry was created) should be labeled as such. Also, there should be a due date column.

   The ability to sort columns by would be very helpful, too.

   Last, besides the standard breakdown of items listed by project, the option to combine all open items into a single listing so that -all- tasks can be sorted by due dates. Around here it's routine to have items filtering in with consecutive (or simultaneous) due dates from many different projects!

   Thanks,
   Andrew

   Turner,

   Thanks for your comments! Please see my replies in brackets below...you raise some great suggestions.

   "First, and this is really a global thing, it would be nice to let a user put the calendar at the bottom."

   [we are looking into letting the user drag and drop the major headings to the location that they prefer. This way each user can have the configuration that they prefer.]

   Functionally, though, my request here is that columns could be added and labeled; for example, "Assigned To" should be a column head and the date (I believe this is the date on which an entry was created) should be labeled as such. Also, there should be a due date column.

   [Great suggestion. We are including an image here for you to see what we've been thinking. We think that having a column with "project" could be helpful for our users to sort their late deliverables by project. We agree with bringing up the "assigned to" label and making it sortable. I don't necessarily agree with the due date as we are short on real estate and we are displaying how late each deliverable is...

   [agreed! we will incorporate that into the spec]

   [We definitely understand this request. We are handling this need in the following way. We are going to add a list view to the Global Calendar which would give you a listing of all deliverables together from all the projects. Right now, you have access to such a view, but it is in the month calendar format]

   Thanks so much for your comments. We will get to work! We try to always maintain simplicity and all of these changes fit with that goal. I love it when that happens.
