New Features: Attach Multiple Files and Quick Edit
Attach Multiple Files
When we first launched the attach file feature in August 2009 we had no idea that the overwhelming reponse would be: "That's great, but I need to attach multiple files per entry". This was by far the most requested feature. Our email volume will be cut in half now :)
Attaching multiple files is pretty easy. When you click "edit" for an entry you'll see the same single upload field that was there before - with one addition. To the right is a plus indicator.

Clicking on the plus will add another file upload field.

You can add up to five files per entry. After you click save and your files are uploaded you'll see multiple paper clips on the entry - one for each file you attached. You can mouse over them to see which file it is and click to download the file.

Quick Edit
The new quick edit feature allows you to make changes to an entry right in the calendar view, without having to open the entire edit window. Simple double click on any of the blocks and the quick edit will appear.

You will still need to open the full edit window if you want to attach files or create a re-occuring entry. Also note: Any changes you make using a quick edit are for that block only. If you quick edit a weekly or daily entry the change will only be applied to the single entry that you are editing. If you need to edit a weekly or daily entry you will need to open the full edit window.
1 to 10 Periods
Due to a limitation in our old system we restricted the number periods that you could choose when creating your planbook to 2,4,6, and 8. When re-launched two years ago this limitation was removed allowing us to handle any number of periods. However we never adjusted the setting, so you were still limited to the old options. That is now changed. You can choose any number of periods from 1 to 10. To change your planbook go to "Planbooks" in the menu then edit a planbook or create a new one.
In The Future
Let us know what you think of the new features and what you'd like to see next. Enjoy!
