We’ve decided to fix several irritants in AceProject lately, in order to improve the overall user experience.

Here’s the list of things we’ve done over the last couple of weeks:

Bulk Project Un-Assignment
Un-assigning users from a project is no longer a pain. We added a checkbox before each assigned user, so you can multi-select those you wish to un-assign and click the “Un-Assign Selected Users…” at the bottom of the list.

Show Non-Assigned Users on the “Edit Task” Page
When viewing the assignment grid under “Edit Task”,  it is now possible to view users who are not assigned to the task’s associated project. This helps improve user assignment significantly. In fact, should you need to assign someone who is not assigned to the associated project, you’ll simply check them from the list and assign them to both the associated project and the open task.

Project Number Auto-Population
This one was requested for quite some time. Project numbers are now auto-populated. Every time you create a project, a six-digit unique number will be given to the project. Of course, you can decide […]

The launch of our new corporate image

Those who follow us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn have already seen the new logo we unveiled two weeks ago. This new logo is the beginning of a series of major changes to our corporate image. We’ve decided to start with the logo. The website will follow. Our social media presence will also increase. And eventually, AceProject’s look and feel will change for the better. We’re on fire, so we hope you’re ready for this!

Concept behind the logo

We wanted to keep the arrow in our new logo. The arrow represents the progression of a project, from start to finish. We also wanted the new logo to be fresh… Just like us.

Something sweet for your computer screen

Here’s a 1920×1080 wallpaper with our new logo and slogan.

How do you like our new logo?

The drag and drop upload is now available at the task level. This feature will empower users to simply drag a document to the upload window rather than using the “Browse…” button. Up to 10 documents can be uploaded simultaneously. This feature will be available for project documents shortly.

Here’s a screenshot of how the upload feature looks like:

We also improved ergonomic elements, as per customer suggestions. Among other things:

• We added a project tab slider that lets you view all your open projects more easily.
• We also added a skinning property that lets you adjust the padding between lines in lists.
• The global search now lets you search within hyperlinks.

The “Portfolio -> Projects” and the Admin pages can now be open upon login. Finally, when deleting multiple documents, a single notification is sent rather than one for each document.

We are glad to announce that Daylight Savings Time is now taken care of automatically. Hence, every time clocks switch, you won't need to use an alternate timezone as a workaround. AceProject will switch clocks by itself.

We have decided to add two existing reports to the dashboard (soon due and overdue tasks), which were previously sent by email only. Furthermore, we added a brand new report called "Task to Start Soon".

Websystems Inc. is proud to announce that AceProject Mobile is now fully compatible with all tablets, including the newly-launched Blackberry Playbook.

From now on, every user can define the default page under "My Office" in their user preferences.

The dashboard's launch is a milestone in AceProject's history. To this day, it was one of the most requested features, and here it is.

The options displayed in AceProject Mobile's toolbar can now be customized, in accordance with your needs.

Users can now manage their preferences from the mobile device.
