Development Progress, Features, Hints and Tips

A few users have wondered what happened to project notes in CreativePro Office 2.  Version 1 users will remember the rather minimal notes feature that allowed you to attach random notes to a project - simple, almost too simple.  Here's the version 1 note entry form...

Just a plain ol' textbox with a Save button.  And once you saved a note...

...you really didn't have any way to edit the darn thing.  If you made a mistake well, delete and start over.

With CPO 2 we decided to amp up this feature a bit starting with a slimmed down WYSIWYG editor so you can add bullets, indentation, and simple font changes.  Links are activated automatically if the link text begins with http:// or https://.

We also thought it would be nice to let your clients see some of your project notes so we added a checkbox that allows you to do just that. 

Finally, the finished note complete with creator avatar, date and time stamp, visible to client indicator, and an Edit button!  The Edit | Delete button group appears as you hover over a note.

Moving ahead we plan to allow file attachments to notes as well.  We hope you like the new project note feature in CPO 2.

Thanks for reading.
