ActionThis Release on 19 August

Posted on 20 August 2008 by Tim Howell

You may have noticed that we have made some changes to ActionThis.  The following changes were released last Sunday.

Improvements to the Project area:

• The Project and Action Item pages have been merged.  The new Project page has an Action Item and a Details tab.  The Project page functionality can be found on the Details Tab, while the Action Item page functionality can be found on the Action Item tab.
• A team member can leave a project they are signed to by going to the Details tab and clicking “Remove me.”
• We have created the “(Other)” project that will display all Action Items assigned to you from Projects you are not a member of.
• A new tick box to allow the viewing “Show Closed Action Items” instead of the two “View Open” and “View Closed” text.

Parent/Sub Action Items on Action Profile Page:

• A Sub Action Items can now be created in the Action Profile Page by going to the Sub Action Item section and clicking “Add Action Item."
• Rollover command functionality (from Project page) is also available.
• When viewing a Parent Action Item you can navigate to a Sub Action Item by selecting it in the Sub-Action Item section.
• When viewing a Sub Action Item the Parent Action Item is displayed below the “Status:”
• When viewing a Sub Action Item you can navigate to a Parent Action Item by selecting its display name.

Outlook Client:

• When working offline the changes to an action item's workflow are now reflected correctly in the Workflow buttons (e.g. Accepting an Action Item off-line now causes the “Accept” button to be greyed out when the item is next opened and the action is recorded in the item's history).
• A Sub Action Item can now be created by right-clicking on the Parent Action Item and selecting “New Sub Action Item."
• Action items can now be dragged to different projects or even be moved to be a Sub Action Item of another Action Item.

If you have any questions or feedback please email support@actionthis.com.

Thanks for your continued support.
