Click here for more details.

Change: Changed the way the current user's status is shown in the header of the page.

If you don't enter a specific status, your status will now say either 'Available' or 'Not Available', instead of 'Status not shared or specified'. Your status will only say 'Not Shared' if you have truly chosen not to share it.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue in discussions, where the global keyboard shortcut keys would accidentally fire as you were entering a new message in a discussion.

When you click on the subscribe button, OnePlace will now display a menu of all the workplace members that are not currently subscribed to the comments.

The ability to subscribe others is a good way to solicit input from people without having to notify them outside of OnePlace.

The WPN replaced the need for the breadcrumbs, so the breadcrumbs were removed in favor of a header that indicates the selected workplace and project (if any).

Brand New - Reports Mode

Reports have always been a part of OnePlace. However, it was not obvious since they were scattered throughout the application.
OnePlace now has a dedicated Report mode that you can use to access the report functionality very quickly.
We also added a two new reports. The entire list of available reports is below:
Project Report
Task Report (New)
Timesheet Report (New)
Workplace Report

You can see exactly who did what to each piece of data in OnePlace, and when they did it.
You can see the activity that your entire team has performed in the "Team Activity" panel on your home page
You can see the activity that a teammate has performed in the "Teammate Activity" panel on that teammate's page
You can see the activity performed on items in a specific workplace on the "Workplace Activity" panel on the Workplace's Dashboard.
Notifications sent when something is updated (such as a task) now contain the details of what was changed.

Action Icon Changes

Converted the Action Icons that used to pop up when you hovered your mouse over an item title (.e.g. A task title) to be a panel.
This panel can be configured to automatically pop up when you hover over the new "Action" text after each item or only when you click the mouse on that "Actions" link.
You can also configure the icons in each Action Panel to have a label next to the icon. No more need to remember what each icon does.
Removed the 'Discussion Actions' panel from the 'Discussion Details' page - these actions are now available in the Actions Panel that pops up for each discussion.

Themes

We added the capability to choose different themes for OnePlace.
We currently offer three themes, Ocean (default), Forest and Steel. More to come.

Flagging Tasks

You can now flag a task by clicking on the little flag icon right in front of the task title. Task flagging provides a nice way to keep track of important tasks and an easy way to access them.
Some people schedule their work (we highly recommend doing this), whereas some people prefer not to do this. Task flagging was mainly added for people who don't schedule their tasks.
Tasks that you flagged appear in the "My Flagged Tasks" panel on your Home page.
You can also see the tasks a teammate has flagged in the "Teammate's Flagged Tasks" panel on that teammate's page.

Major update to the Add Workplace dialog

The dialog that used to add a new workplace was redesigned to be a wizard that walks you through the steps necessary for creating a workplace.
You can now invite both existing OnePlace users and non-OnePlace users to be members of a workplace. Non-OnePlace users will receive an email inviting them into OnePlace.

Updated the Add Workplace Member dialog

You can now invite both existing OnePlace users and non-OnePlace users to be members of an existing workplace. Non-OnePlace users will receive an email inviting them into OnePlace.

Workplace Configuration Changes

You can now configure which "features" are available in a workplace. Only the tabs for features which are enabled will be visible within a workplace.
Selecting the features you want for a workplace makes it much clearer to your users if you don't use everything a workplace has to offer. Sometimes less is easier to understand.

Added a new "Client Information" feature for a workplace

A common use for a workplace is to collaborate with your client/customer. Now you can enter information about that client for a workplace.
When enabled, client information is displayed on a panel on the Workplace Dashboard.

Updated the Discussions Toolbar Icon so it now opens a menu

Navigating between discussion has never been easier. You can now jump between an old discussion, a new one and one that has a new message very quickly.
You can still access all your discussions via the 'All Discussions' option at the bottom of the Discussions menu.

Added the ability to copy a task

Replaced the Quick Reference page in favor of a Quick Start page

The Quick Reference page was found to be too much information for a new user. So, we replaced it with information to help a new user get familar with OnePlace very quickly.
The new Quick Start page will appear each time you sign into OnePlace, until you uncheck the 'Show the Quick Start the next time you sign in' check box at the bottom of the Quick Start page.
If you turn off the Quick Start page, and later would like to get it back, check the 'Show the Quick Start the next time you sign in' option in your preferences.

Added a number of new user profile fields. They show up in the 'About Me' panel on the teammate page.

Search Enhancements

You can now search all types of data with a single search! This was a highly requested enhancement by our customers.
When searching by "All", search results will be grouped by data type
You can now perform "Begins with", "Ends with", "Contains", "Exact Match" searches
The Search now finds matches in discussion titles, descriptions and messages (posts). The old search only looked for matches in discussion messages.

Data details are now collapsed by default

When viewing something like a project, task or file, the box containing the details/properties of that thing is now collapsed by default.
If you are someone who likes to see the details, there is a new user preference for specifying that you want the details to be expanded by default. Just uncheck the "Collapse details on all Detail views" check box under the "General" section of the User Preferences.

Data details now always show the "Created On" and "Created By" properties

OnePlace used to only show these values if the item hadn't been modified yet.

Added a new "project_path" column to the Task Export file

This column contains the full path for the parent project of a task. So, if a task belongs to the "Project B" project, and that project belongs to the "Project A" project, the project_path value for that task will be "Project A\Project B".

Task effort totals (estimated, actual, remaining) now display on the Workplace and Project reports

These totals appear on the report if you choose to show tasks on the report, and, the report contains projects that track time.

Monday, July 20th, 2009 at 10:00 PM

New: 'Data Links' Dialog

OnePlace now provides an easy way to create links to data, via the new 'Data Links' dialog, which is available on each piece of data you have (tasks, projects, workplaces, files, etc).
To access this dialog, click the small 'link' icon shown next to the ID field in the details for a piece of data (highlighted in red below).

New: 'Invite Others to OnePlace' feature

If you've ever wanted an easy way to invite others to join you in OnePlace, you'll be happy to hear that it's easy to do this now, using the new 'Invite Others' link shown in the upper right hand corner of OnePlace, or on the new Sign In page (see below). Click this link, and a dialog will pop up allowing you to send a personalized invitation via email to friends, family, colleagues, etc.

Enhancement: The OnePlace Sign In page was given a fresh new look, making it easier to sign in, sign up, or invite others into OnePlace.

Enhancement: Added the ability to move a file that is attached a project or task to a different project or task.

Move a file between workplaces, projects or tasks.

Enhancement: You now download a file when checking it out

More often than not, you'll want to make sure you're working on the latest version of a file when you check it out.

Enhancement: Added the ability to move a discussion attached to a project to a different project.

Change: Task status decorations are now different colors to make it easier to distinguish between them.

Thursday, July 09th, 2009 at 10:00 PM

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue with the the add task dialog where setting the status to completed did not allow entering of actual effort.

The result was a Javascript eorr.

Wednesday, July 08th, 2009 at 09:30 PM

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue with the positioning of the pop up calendar control when the page is scrolled.

If the page is scrolled when you popped up the calendar control, it would sometimes not be visible on the screen.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue on the Export Tasks dialog.

The buttons on the dialog would not always perform the proper action if you clicked the Previous button after having generated an export file.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue with the "Confirm Trash Task" confirmation dialog.

OnePlace displays a confirmation dialog if you attempt to trash a task that has time applied to it. If you clicked the Ok button, the dialog would not close, and the task would not be moved to the trash.

Project Report Improvements

The Project Report Options dialog now provides two task filters for controlling which tasks are shown in the report. These filters can be combined using either AND or OR.
Long project titles no longer get cut off
Long task titles no longer get cut off (will wrap)

Enhancement: The Inbasket now supports grouping inbasket notes by the type of note.

User messages and system notifications will be grouped as shown below.
Note that you can also now filter your Inbasket to show only user messages or system notifications.

Enhancement: The Files and Notes tabs within a workplace now have the ability to show files/notes attached to tasks within a project.

This makes it much easier to find a file or note attached somewhere underneath a project.
Look for the "Show files in sub-projects and tasks" check box on the Files tab, or the "Show notes in sub-projects and tasks" check box on the Notes tab.

Enhancement: The filter on the Tasks tab within a workplace was enhanced to allow you to filter tasks by a specific user or date range.

For example, "Show all tasks created by Tim Green" or "Show all tasks worked on in the month of July".
Note that the Tasks tab filters now match the filters on the "All Tasks" section of the Home page.

Enhancement: Setting a task to in-progress now gives the option of reassigning task to yourself, or keeping the original task assignee.

The old behavior always reassigned the task to the person who started it, possibly changing the task assignee.

Enhancement: You now have the option of permanently deleting inbasket notes when emptying your Inbasket.

You can still move the inbasket notes to your Trash if you so desire.

Change: You must now confirm archiving and trashing of workplaces and projects.

Change: Auto-pulses older than 24 hours are automatically deleted

OnePlace auto-pulses whenever you change your status, or, when you start or complete a task.
Note that user pulses (sent by a user) are not deleted, no matter how old they are.

Change: Links are now underlined

Most links in OnePlace are now always underlined. This should make it much easier to quickly identify what you can click on.

Change: Tasks are now sorted/grouped by project in the export file

Bug Fix: The pop up Calendar control was fixed to be completely visible when popped up near the edge of the browser window.

Bug Fix: Increased the maximum size of the workplace description field to 20,000 characters.

This fixes an issue that could happen when promoting a project to a workplace. If the project description contained more than 1,000 characters, all characters after that point would be lost.

Bug Fix: Fixed a grouping issue in the "Preview Export Tasks" feature

Tasks in this report were not being properly grouped together by project.

Bug Fix: The task timer is now automatically started when you add a new task and set its status to in-progress via the "Add Task' dialog.

Bug Fix: Fixed a JavaScript bug that would occur when restoring a trashed item via the Search Results page.

Bug Fix: User names can now contain apostrophes ('). For example, Tim O'Brien.

There were a few features in OnePlace that didn't handle names with apostrophes.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that happened when converting a personal account to a team account.

After creating the team account, a crash would occur when you navigated to your Home page.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where one user could post to a discussion, and another user's presence-awareness icon would show him/her as being "not present" after a minute.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue with the wrong number of remaining hours being reported on Project report

This would occur if the project contained an incomplete task which logged more actual time than estimated.

Monday, May 18th, 2009 at 09:30 AM

Enhancement: You can now view/set your current status from any page within OnePlace. Knowing your current status and changing it just got a whole lot easier!

Your current status is now displayed in the upper left hand corner of each page.
Please note that this feature is only available if you are a member of a team account.

Enhancement: Added the 'Due Next Week' filter to all task views

The 'Due Next Week' filter, which was previously only available on the Deadlines tab (Home page), is now available on the My Schedule tab (Home page), Calendar (Unscheduled Tasks) and the Tasks tab within a workplace.

Change: The 'Sign Out' link was moved into the navigation menu in the upper right hand corner of the page

Tuesday, May 05th, 2009 at 09:30 AM

Enhancement: Added a 'Next Week' filter to the Deadlines panel on the Home page

This new filter displays projects and tasks that you are assigned to which have deadlines next week.
The 'All' filter on the Deadlines tab now encompasses projects and tasks with deadlines next week.

Enhancement: A system notification is now sent to someone who is assigned as the manager of a project.

A system notification is also sent to someone when he/she is unassigned as the manager of a project.
These notifications can be turned off via Account > User Preferences if you don't want to receive them.

Change: The Inbasket now defaults to the first page of items when you click on the Inbasket button in the global toolbar.

The Inbasket used to remember the last page that you were on, however this was confusing for some users who didn't expect this behavior.
The Inbasket will still remember the last page as you click between the 'Received' and 'Sent' tabs.

Bug Fix: Fixed a crash in the 'Project Save As' feature

Sunday, May 03rd, 2009 at 07:30 AM

Enhancement: Tasks now support custom fields

The custom fields are included when exporting tasks, and are also displayed when viewing task details.

Enhancement: The task export file now contains a 'Project Manager' column

Enhancement: Team account administrators can now re-send activation emails

The internet is a strange goofy place where email sometimes ends up lost for no reason. Because of this, we've added the ability for team account administrators to send pending users another activation email.
To do this, go to the Account > Team Account > Users panel, hover over the name of a pending user, and click the email icon in the pop up toolbar.

Enhancement: Updated the Project Details report to include 'attached to' information for attached notes, lists and discussions.

Notes, lists and discussions displayed on the Project Details report now include the thing that they are attached to. This is helpful for differentiating between things named the same but in different sub-projects.

Change: We simplified the Deadlines feature on the Home page

By default, the Deadlines tab and info panel on the Home page would factor in unassigned tasks with deadlines, as well as tasks assigned to the current user. If you didn't want this behavior, you had to change a user preference to turn it off. This was causing confusion for several users who didn't know about the default behavior, and were wondering why the Deadlines info panel kept telling them they had overdue tasks when the Deadlines tab didn't show any tasks. So, we decided to simplify things, and fix the Deadlines feature to only display tasks with deadlines that are assigned to the current user.

Bug Fix: OnePlace will now warn you when viewing a report if your browser has pop-up blocking turned on, and this prevents the report window from opening.

Saturday, April 25th, 2009 at 09:30 AM

New Feature: Interact with Discussions via email

OnePlace now allows you to get new discussion messages in your email inbox. That is cool enough but you can also reply to the email to post a new message to the discussion.
Click here for more details on this new feature.

Enhancement: Added the ability on the 'Edit Discussion' dialog to to turn a workplace discussion into a global discussion.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue with the 'Promote Project to Workplace' feature. The contents of the project being promoted weren't being properly copied over to the new workplace.

Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 at 09:30 PM

New Feature: Workplace Report

The Workplace Report provides a way to view the progress/status of projects across a workplace.
You can access this new report by hovering over the title of a workplace on your Home page, and clicking the Print icon, or by drilling into the workplace and clicking the Print button on the workplace's Dashboard.
Click here for more details on this report.

Enhancement: Added a Comment Subscribers panel to the File and Task Detail views

This panel is a handy way to know who is currently subscribed to receive comment notifications for either a file or task.

Enhancement: Added the ability to create global discussions.

Until now, you had to be a member of the workplace that a discussion belongs to in order to participate in a discussion. Global discussions allow anyone in a team account to participate in the discussion.
Global discussions can be created and accessed from within the blended Discussions view (click on the Discussions button in the toolbar at the top of the page). A global discussion is one that doesn't have a workplace set for it.
Click here to learn more about global discussions.

Enhancement: Added the ability for a user to leave a workplace.

To leave a workplace, go to the Dashboard for the workplace, hover over your name in the Workplace Members panel, and click the red 'X' icon that appears.
Each workplace administrator is sent a notification when someone leaves a workplace.

Enhancement: Added a footer menu to the bottom of the page in the mobile versions.

This footer menu contains links for quickly going back to the Home page, editing your mobile preferences, or signing out.

Enhancement: Made it easier to access Team Central functionality on the mobile versions.

We moved the 'Teammates' and 'Team Pulse' links (which were formerly under the 'Team Central' page) to the Home page, and eliminated the 'Team Central' link.

Change: The Teammates panel in Team Central was changed

Removed the last pulse that was being shown for each user shown in the panel for performance reasons.
Changed the refresh interval of this panel from 1 minute to 5 minutes for performance reasons.

Change: The Team Pulse panel on the Home page was changed

Changed the refresh interval of this panel from 1 minute to 5 minutes for performance reasons.
The panel now will now show more characters from long pulses when viewed on a wide monitor.
Removed the icons from this panel in order to show more characters from longer pulses.

Change: Updated the 'from' address for email notifications

Email notifications that are sent to a user that cannot be replied to now have an explicit 'oneplace-noreply' email address.
We also include a note in the footer of the email letting the user know that the email should not be replied to.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that formatted a comment that was emailed incorrectly.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug in the Statistics section of the Project Details report. The data shown in the high priority and low priority columns were reversed.

Bug Fix: Fixed the task details to not include trashed and archived files or notes in the counts shown.

Bug Fix: Fixed the mobile versions to properly default the 'track time' setting when adding a new task.

Bug Fix: Fixed the mobile versions to properly default the public/private setting when adding a new task.

Bug Fix: Fixed the iPhone version to properly default the public/private setting when adding a new list.

Thursday, April 09th, 2009 at 09:30 PM

Enhancement: Changed the default project manager for a new project to the current user.

Bug Fix: Fixed a the task export. The value for the actual effort was being put in the incorrect column.

Bug Fix: Fixed a problem with the preferences that caused a crash when the user entered a zero(0) for any of the history preferences.

Wednesday, April 08th, 2009 at 09:00 PM

New Feature: Files now support versioning, check in/out, and comments!

The usefulness of files within OnePlace took a major step forward this upgrade with the introduction of this exciting new file functionality.
Included in this enhancement is a brand new 'File Details' view, which displays information about the different versions of the file, the comments that have been posted on the file, and a set of actions you can perform on the file. You access the 'File Details' view by clicking on the title of a file.
You can now check a file in/out. When you check out a file, others are prevented from uploading new versions while you have it checked out.
Please refer here for detailed information on these new file features.

New Feature: Tasks now support comments!

We added the ability for your team to comment on tasks. Task comments are targeted mini-discussions, which provide a nice way via comment notifications to keep people in the loop.
Please refer here for detailed information on how task comments work.

New Feature: Videos

You have been asking for them. We listened.
Just about every major feature within OnePlace now has a video to go along with it.
These videos are also available on this help website.

Enhancement: Added a view setting to show all Discussions/Files/Lists/Notes when viewing a sub project.

This allows the user to see all the Discussions/Files/Lists/Notes that are contained within the sub project, even if they are contained in a deeper project in the tree.
Tasks already had this feature.

Enhancement: Added a user preference for instructing OnePlace to remember/restore the last tab you were on within a project.

This is the 'Restore the last selected tab when drilling into a project' preference under Account | Preferences.
The default setting for this preference is 'No' (don't remember/restore the last tab).

Enhancement: Added status decoration to projects.

You can now tell, at a glance, that a project is inprogress.

Enhancement: Description fields now support data links.

You can now put data links in the description field of discussions, projects, tasks, files, lists and notes. This is a handy way to have one thing refer to another.

Enhancement: Added a context filter of 'None' to the context filter on the Scheduled Tasks view and the Tasks view in the private workplace.

This comes in very handy when you want to figure which tasks do not have a context set on them.

Enhancement: Added details to the Note dialog that displays the user that created the Note and the user that updated the Note (if applicable).

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug in the Project report that prevented the report from displaying if the Project had a List attached to it.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug in the iPhone when paging through discussions. If a filter was applied to the list of discussions, it would be lost when paging from page 1 to another page.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug in the export feature. The status column was incorrect. We also added the priority column to the export.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug in the export feature with the Preview functionality.

If you exported tasks from the Team Account or Personal Account page, the preview would show more tasks than what would actually be exported to file.
The extra tasks were from the 'other' account (i.e. from the user's personal account when exporting team tasks, and vice versa).

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug that happened if you reassigned a task using the 'Assign Task' action in the 'Task Details' view. The person being unassigned from the task was not receiving a system notification that they should have received.

Bug Fix: Fixed a sort issue on the Received tab of the Inbasket when using the 'group by' feature.

If you were sorting on 'Created On', and grouping by 'From', the sort was being ignored. The result was that the inbasket notes within each group were not sorted properly.

Monday, March 09th, 2009 at 09:00 PM

Bug Fix: Fixed a crash on the Received tab of the inbasket when the page automatically refreshes, and there are no received inbasket notes.

Bug Fix: Fixed a crash on the 'All Tasks' tab of the Home page when you set the filter to 'Scheduled for' and the group by to 'Updated on'.

Sunday, March 08th, 2009 at 09:00 PM

New Feature: Daily Update Email

OnePlace can now send you a daily email to let you know what tasks you have scheduled for today, and also the projects and tasks that are either overdue or due soon.
Please refer to here for more details on how to configure this exciting new feature.

New Feature: Choose the system notifications you want to receive

You now have the ability to specify which types of system notification you would like to receive in your inbasket and/or via email.
To set up your system notifications, go to Account | Preferences | System Notifications.

New Inbasket Features

We added a 'Sent' tab to the Inbasket, which shows the inbasket notes you've sent/flipped to yourself and other users.
You can now empty your inbasket with a single click (this sends all your inbasket notes to the Trash).
You can now mark all or selected inbasket notes as either read or unread with a single click.
We added the ability to process an inbasket note into a discussion message. You can do this by clicking the 'gear' icon that appear when you hover over an inbasket note, and then choosing the 'Post to Discussion' option.
The Inbasket button in the global toolbar now changes its appearance to indicate if there is anything in your inbasket.

New Feature: Added the ability to promote a note to a task or a project.

To promote a note, hover over the note's subject, and click the gear icon, and then choose the appropriate choice (Task or Project) from the pop up menu.

Enhancement: The Email field in the Contacts list type is now a link, making it easy to email your contacts.

Clicking on an email address in your list of contacts will open your email application, and automatically add the contact's email address as the recipient.

Enhancement: The workplace name shown in the details of all data objects is now a link.

This was done for tasks, projects, discussions, files, lists and notes.

Enhancement: Added a 'Recent Activity' panel to the Home page for users who don't belong to any shared workplaces.

This panel shows the last three task activities that were performed in the past 24 hours.
Hovering over the task title will display the full title. Hovering over the elapsed time will display the date and time of the activity, along with a description of the activity (New, Updated, Completed, Archived, Trashed).

Enhancement: Enhanced the Add/Edit Task dialog to allow you to complete a task and apply time to the task in one step.

If you set the status of the task to 'Completed', fields will appear to allow you to enter the actual effort an a description of the work.
This is just a shorthand way to enter time for a task. You can still continue to use the Time Entry dialog to apply time to a task one or more times if you want to.
This will be useful if you find yourself entering tasks for things you've already done (i.e. unplanned work).

Enhancement: Added the ability to show/hide completed tasks in the Calendar

This is a handy way to focus just on remaining work in your schedule.
OnePlace will remember this setting for you.

Enhancement: Added the ability to turn off auto-pulsing at the account level.

If you find the auto-pulsing that occurs when tasks are started/completed too 'chatty' for your team, you can disable this behavior for your team account.
To disable auto-pulsing, go to Account | Team Account | Account Actions, and click on the 'Disable Auto-pulsing' link.

Enhancement: Added the ability to insert an item or group in the middle of a list.

You can now insert things into the middle of a list or list group, by hovering over the item/group that you want to insert something above, and clicking the 'Insert' icon in the pop up toolbar (green 'plus' icon with a small blue up arrow).

Enhancement: Added a 'Features' list type.

This new list type is useful for when you want to keep track of requests made by customer/clients/users etc. for whatever product or service you offer.

Enhancement: Now showing completed projects and tasks with a strikethrough on the Project Details report.

Enhancement: Increased the maximum size of a note to 50,000 characters.

Project Enhancements

You can now set a priority on a project (like you currently can for a task).
You can now set a start date on a project.
You can now specify a project manager for a project.

Enhancement: The data type for a data link can now be plural. (e.g. {tasks:1} )

Change: The Deadlines tab on the Home page now only shows upcoming and overdue projects for which you are the project manager.

Bug Fix: The buttons of data-entry dialogs are now disabled when data is being retrieved from the server.

Several data-entry dialogs call out to the server to retrieve information when you click on certain controls. For example, when changing the workplace in the Add Task dialog. This fixes a problem where users were clicking on the 'Save' or 'Save and Add' buttons before the server call had completed and updated the dialog properly.

Bug Fix: Removed project links from the 'Export Tasks' preview that weren't functional.

Bug Fix: Fixed the problem where drilling into a task that didn't match the current tasks filter would display the wrong task.

Bug Fix: Tasks that are complete now always return 0.0 for remaining effort.

Bug Fix: If time is applied to a task that has a status of planned the task status is now set to Paused. It was setting to In Progress and thus starting the elapsed time counter.

Sunday, February 15th, 2009 at 08:00 AM

New Feature: Introducing the OnePlace Dashboard

The OnePlace Dashboard is a new, convenient way for you to interact with your team via Team Pulse directly from your desktop. No browser required!
Please refer to here for more details on how to install the OnePlace Dashboard, or to learn more about this exciting new feature.

Enhancement: OnePlace will now keep track of the elapsed time on a task automatically.

If you have a task with time tracking turned on and you set the task to in progress, OnePlace will start an internal timer to keep track of the elapsed time on the task. We also added a new 'Paused' task status. This allows you to stop the time tracking without actually completing the task.
Please refer to here for more information on the 'Time Tracking' feature.

Enhancement: Added attachment information (and links) to the task details.

You can now see wether there any files or notes attached to a task without having to drill into the task. If you click on the count next to the attachment OnePlace will drill into the task.

Enhancement: Added the capability to promote an Inbasket Note to a Note.

The Note can be added to any Workplace/Project/Task that you have access to. Once the new Note has been saved OnePlace trashes the promoted Inbasket Note.

Enhancement: Added the capability to promote a Discussion Entry to a Task or Project.

The contents of the Discussion Entry will become the description for the Task/Project.

Enhancement: Added a 'Resource Utilization' section to the 'Project Details' report.

This section displays information about the progress of work in the project (and its sub-projects) for each user who has task assignments in the project.

Enhancement: Enhanced the ability to filter tasks on the 'All Tasks' view on your Home page.

We added user-based filters, which allow you to choose a specific user as part of the filter. For example, "Show all tasks assigned to Tara Bishop", or "Show all tasks completed by Ray Smith".
We also added date-based filters, which allow you to specify a timeframe as part of the filter. For example, "Show all tasks that I worked on between 2/1/09 and 2/28/09", or "Show all tasks that have a deadline between 2/15/09 and 2/25/09."

Enhancement: When grouping data by workplace or project, the group titles are now links that can be clicked on to go to the workplace or project.

Enhancement: The Workplace Dashboard now remembers when you collapse any of its panels (Statistics, Members, Recent Activity).

Bug Fix: When a sub project was moved from one Workplace to another the attached information (sub projects/tasks/notes/files/lists) did not get moved.

This has been fixed. When this upgrade was applied we ran through all the data in OnePlace to ensure that that data links were correct and that all the items that are attached to a project are in the same workplace.
In doing this it was possible that a task was moved from a Workplace to where the parent project was moved to.
If the task was assigned to a person not in the new workplace then that task was unassigned/unscheduled and a notifcation was sent to the original assigned to user.

Bug Fix: Fixed a crash when printing a List using the Printer icon that appears when you hover over the list's title.

Bug Fix: Fixed a crash in Search that was happening for 'External' workplace members who were doing a 'Tag' search.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug in Search where links to urls were not being formatted properly.

This bug would occur when the text you were searching for occurred in a url within the data you were searching. The result was that the link OnePlace created for that url would not function properly.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue on the Task dialog with the 'Assigned to' control

When choosing a workplace or a project for the task being added/edited, a call is made to the server to retrieve the proper list of 'Assigned to' users. If you happened to change the 'Assigned to' user during the time the call was being made, your selection may have been overwritten/lost, resulting in the task being assigned to the wrong person.
This issue was resolved by disabling the 'Assigned to' control while a call to the server is being processed.

Sunday, February 01st, 2009 at 08:00 AM

Update your bookmarks! We changed www.oneplacehome.com so that it now takes you to the online informational brochure for OnePlace.

You can sign into OnePlace from the online brochure, or use one of the links below to directly access OnePlace.
https://www.oneplacehome.com/signin takes you to the sign in page.
https://www.oneplacehome.com/home takes you to your Home page.

Enhancement: Added a 'Recent Items' feature that keeps track of the things you've used recently. A definite click saver!

OnePlace now keeps track of things (workplaces, projects, tasks, discussions, etc.) as you work with them, and gives you fast access to these things via the new 'Recent Items' button in the toolbar at the top of the page. The most recent item will always appear at the top of the menu.
Please refer to here for more information on the 'Recent Items' feature.

Enhancement: Added 'join' and 'leave' actions to the icons that appear when you hover over the title of a discussion

These buttons make it easier to join and leave discussions. You no longer need to drill into a discussion in order to join or leave it.

This icon can be used to quickly add a new task to a project.

Enhancement: Added the ability to filter your discussions by workplace in the global Discussions mode.

You can now focus on a subset of your discussions.

Enhancement: Added a user preference for instructing OnePlace to remember/restore the last tab you were on within a workplace.

Enhancement: Enhanced the Search feature

The Search dialog now remembers/restores the last text you searched for.
Added the ability to include/exclude the Archive and/or the Trash when searching

Enhancement: Clicking the number of sub-projects link in the project tree now takes you directly to the Sub-projects tab for that project.

The old behavior was to put you on the Dashboard for the project you clicked on.

Enhancement: Added view settings to the Team Activity section of Team Central

You can now filter, sort and group team activity, as well as specify the time frame for the activity you want to view.

Enhancement: The project that a task belongs to is now a link when displayed within the details of the task

Clicking the project link takes you to that project.

Enhancement: Now displaying user avatars in discussions on the iPhone and General Mobile applications.

Enhancement: You can now pass your email address and password on the 'sign in' url, in order to bypass OnePlace's Sign In page.

This allows you to create a bookmark in your browser for signing into OnePlace without having to enter your email address and password.
Format: https://www.oneplacehome.com/signin?email=your email address&password=your password

Change: Changed the way the workplace menu works in the breadcrumb bar

The old menu displayed a list of your other workplaces and let you jump to one of them.
The new menu allows you to jump directly to a specific tab of the current workplace. Note that you can still jump to another workplace at any time by using the Workplaces button in the toolbar at the top of the page.

Change: Changed the Task Action buttons shown when drilled into a task.

The 'Delegate Task' action was changed to be an 'Assign Task' action. This action can be used by anyone on the team to assign a task to themselves or another team member.
Added a 'Time Tracking' action. Clicking this button will display the Time Tracking dialog for the task you are on.
Removed the actions for adding note and files to the task, as there are already buttons in the 'Notes' and 'Files' panels to do this.

Bug Fix: Fixed the Print button on the Tasks tab when drilled into a project to honor the 'Show sub-project tasks' view setting.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug in Team Schedule when viewing todays tasks. The tasks weren't always being properly grouped by user.

Wednesday, January 21st, 2009 at 09:30 PM

Enhancement: System notifications now contain links for the workplace and project/task that something such as a file or note is attached to.

Enhancement: The Tasks tab when drilled into a project can now display tasks from sub-projects

Toggling the 'show sub-project tasks' checkbox will either show or hide tasks that belong to sub-projects of the current project.

Enhancement: Added the ability to upgrade a personal account to a team account

You can upgrade your personal account to a team plan by going to the 'Personal Account' tab under 'Account', and clicking the 'Upgrade to Team Plan' link.

Change: Increased the height of the 'Notify specific workplace members' select control to allow more users to be shown at one time.

Bug Fix: Fixed a time zone issue with the 'Entered On' date on the 'Time Tracking' dialog

The date shown could be off by one day depending on the time of the day you viewed this information. This was a display issue, and no data was corrupted as a result.

Bug Fix: Fixed a height issue on the 'Add/Edit Note' dialog for Windows users using Internet Explorer or Firefox.

The 'Tags' field shown on the 'General' tab of this dialog was falling outside the containing group box.

Bug Fix: Fixed a problem that was preventing multiple data links from working correctly.

If you entered two or more data links in something like an Inbasket Note, the links were not being displayed properly.
Please refer to here for more information on how data links work within OnePlace. They are really cool in case you haven't tried using them yet!

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue on the 'Export Tasks Summary' page

If you selected specific workplaces, projects and/or users, the summary page was not properly listing the things you selected. This only affected the display of the summary. The export was still working correctly.

Tuesday, January 06th, 2009 at 09:00 PM

Enhancement: Add/Edit Note dialog now has tabs

We've added tabs to the Note dialog. Let us know what you think!

Enhancement: You can now move an existing note to any project or task you like

You can use the controls on the new 'Attached to' tab on the Note dialog to select the project or task that you would like to attach the note to.

Enhancement: Added a 'Next Action' filter on the Tasks tab within a project

When you apply this filter to the tasks within a project, the next task in that project which hasn't been completed is shown.
The 'Next Action' is determined by the order that you sequenced the tasks within the project.

Enhancement: New and improved 'Group by Context' feature for tasks

You can now group tasks by context on the All Tasks tab (Home page) and on the Tasks tab within a workplace.
Context groups are listed alphabetically. For example, 'Home/Inside/Chores' comes before 'Home/Outside/Chores'.

Enhancement: When grouping tasks by project, the project groups are now listed alphabetically

For example, 'Alpha Version/Create Marketing Material' comes before 'Beta Version/Create Marketing Material'.

Enhancement: Added an option to the Export Tasks dialog for including/excluding the time portion of a 'datetime' data field.

Check it out by navigating to: https://www.oneplacehome.com/mobile on your mobile device.

Monday, December 15th, 2008 at 10:00 PM

Enhancement: Home page improvements!

We added tabs to your Home page, making it much easier to switch between the various sections of the Home page. OnePlace remembers the last tab you were on, and will show this tab the next time you go to your Home page.
We moved the "Update My Status" link to the right side of the "Team Pulse" panel. This allows for the last four pulses to now be shown on the Home page. We also dropped the "Add Pulse" link from this panel, since you can now add a pulse via the "Quick Adds" menu from any page in the application.
We dropped the links from the "Deadlines" and "Tasks" panels which were used to access the data behind those panels. You now access this data by simply clicking on the appropriate tab below the panel.

Enhancement: Custom workplace icons

You can now upload whatever image you like for a workplace icon. This is ideal using things like client or customer logos to identify your workplaces.
Note that we still support the standard workplace icons, so feel free to continue using them.

Change: The "My Schedule" tab only shows your scheduled work.

We decided to make this tab all about your scheduled work, so we removed the ability on this tab to see work scheduled by other people. Don't worry though, the new "Team Schedule" feature in "Team Central" gives you everything the old "Scheduled Tasks" view gave you, plus more, so if you want to see work your teammates have scheduled, go there.

Enhancement: Added two new types of lists - Plan and Ideas

The new "Plan" list type lets you quickly hammer plans of all kinds. This is handy to use when you don't need/want everything that comes with a full-blown project plan.
The new "Ideas" list type lets you capture ideas and keep track of who thought of them and when.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug with task remaining effort showing very small exponential numbers.

Bug Fix: Fixed a crash in Discussions on the iPhone

This bug would happen when you had your preferences set to show expanded details for data displayed in list format, and one of your discussions didn't contain any messages.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug in the Archive and Trash where the message shown after archiving/trashing something didn't correctly show the type of thing being archived/trashed.

Bug Fix: Fixed a bug with editing files outside of a workplace. The "Edit File" dialog wouldn't close when you clicked the Save button, and would remain in a disabled state indefiintely.

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 at 10:00 PM

Enhancement: Added a new 'Contacts' list type

When creating a new list, you can now choose the 'Contacts' list type, which allows you to build up a list of your personal contacts.

Bug Fix: Fixed issue where the wrong list was shown when you clicked on the Lists tab within a workplace or project.

Monday, December 08th, 2008 at 09:00 PM

Enhancement: Added ability to click directly on user's name in both Team Pulse and Discussions to insert '@Name -' into the message area.

In Discussions, you can now click on a user's name in a discussion entry, or in the Participants panel on the right side of the page to get this behavior.

Bug Fix: Fixed an issue in the Workplace Navigator on Internet Explorer 7, for displays running in 1024 x 768

Two columns of workplaces now fit in the navigator in IE7 under 1024 x 768.

When you receive a system notification in your inbasket regarding a new or updated note, you can now click on the link for the note, and view it on your iPhone or other mobile device.

Sunday, November 16th, 2008 at 07:00 AM

You can still enter email addresses by hand for OnePlace users who are not in your address book.

Enhancement: Added action icons to the Discussion Participants panel. From left to right, these icons do the following:

The first icon is used to insert '@Name - ' into the discussion message text area.
The second icon is used to flip that person a full transcript of the discussion to their inbasket.
The third icon is used to send an email to that person.

Enhancement: Added the ability in the Export Tasks feature to selectively include/exclude archived tasks, and to always ignore trashed tasks. We also now export the description of the project that a task resides in.

By default, archived tasks are not included in the export.

This menu is located in the upper right hand corner of the page above the toolbar, and contains links for things that are not considered primary features. Note that the Account, Contact Us, and Help links moved into this menu from the toolbar.

Enhancement: Added a Quick Reference Feature

The new Quick Reference provides useful information for helping users get the most from OnePlace. It will automatically pop up when new users sign in for the first time, and also for anyone currently using OnePlace (as of the time of this upgrade) the next time they sign in.
A ten minute 'OnePlace Grand Tour' video is part of the new Quick Reference, which is a great introduction to OnePlace for new users.
The Quick Reference can be shown at any time by clicking the Quick Reference link in the upper right hand corner of the application (see image above).

Previously this feature was only available to account administrators. Note that the administrative export feature is still available in the Account mode.

Saturday, September 27th, 2008 at 01:00 PM

List Enhancements

Titles of groups in a list are now bolded to make them easier to identify
The color of the flag icon was changed from light blue to red to make it stand out better. The icon was also enlarged slightly.

These two new filters allow you to see which discussions you've viewed in the past 10 minutes, very helpful for when you are bouncing between discussions and other areas of OnePlace.

New Feature: Export Tasks

The ability to export tasks from a team or personal account has been added. Click here for detailed information on this new feature.

Change: Settings page is now the Account page

The Settings page has been renamed as the Account page, to better reflect the majority of the actions you can perform on this page (i.e. account management).
The Settings button in the toolbar at the top of each page has been replaced by an Account button
Administrators of a team account now have a Team Account tab and a Personal Account tab on the Account page. These tabs allow an administrator to manage either the team's account, or their personal account. Users who don't belong to a team account, or are not administrators of the team account will only have a Personal Account tab.
The Team and Personal Account tabs each have an Account Information panel, which displays information about the current state of the account.
The Account Actions panel on the Team and Personal Account tabs now contain additional actions for managing the subscription plan associated with the account.

Change: Moved the contents of the Profile tab into a Profile dialog

The Profile tab on the Settings page (now named Account) was removed in favor of a Profile dialog. This dialog is accessed via the Account Actions panel on the Team/Personal Account tabs.

This is useful on the calendar, which doesn't permit clicking on the task titles to jump to the task.

Enhancement: You can now un-schedule a task in your calendar by dragging it and dropping it anywhere on the right side of the page

The old behavior required you to drop it back on the Unscheduled Tasks panel, which was problematic if the page was really long, and was scrolled to the point where you couldn't see the Unscheduled Tasks panel.

Enhancement: You can now add a time entry and close the time entry dialog in one click.

A 'Save and Close' button has been added to the time entry dialog to permit you to add a time entry and close the dialog in one click.

Enhancement: You can now click on the 'Workplaces' title on the Home page to bring up the workplaces pop up menu.

Bug Fix: Deleting a workplace that contained a discussion with an attached file would result in a crash

If you trashed a workplace with a discussion that had a file attached to it, and then tried to delete the workplace from the trash, you would get a system crash. This issue has been corrected.

Thursday, August 28th, 2008 at 09:00 PM

Behavior Change: Join/Leave discussion messages no longer treated as "unread"

The messages that appear in a discussion when a user joins or leaves the discussion would be counted when OnePlace determined how many unread discussions you had. This is no longer the case. These kinds of messages are now ignored in that count.

There was a problem with the new email notification feature in that emails were sometimes not sent to users who had configured their preferences to receive system notifications via email. This issue has been corrected.

Sunday, August 24th, 2008 at 09:00 PM

Any task that had existing time applied to it will automatically have one time entry created for it.
The project report was enhanced to show appropriate fields given the time tracking setting on the project.
The statistics panel on the project dashboard was enhanced to show appropriate fields given the time tracking setting on the project.
All existing projects and tasks were set to track time.
We added a help section for Time Tracking. Please see that for more information.

Renamed the 'Due Soon' feature on the Home page to be 'Deadlines'

Added an 'All' choice to the 'Due When' filter on the 'Deadlines' view

The 'All' filter shows a combination of all tasks shown by the other 'Due When' filter options.

Changed the way that the remaining effort statistic was calculated.

Completed tasks are no longer part of the remaining effort calculation.

Sunday, July 27th, 2008 at 10:00 PM

Introduced a new and improved user interface design

The Home page has been completely redesigned. It now displays high-level summary information of what's important to you, but offers views to get more information if you need it.
The workplace navigator moved from the left side of the page to the Home page. This frees up valuable space that you now have available for working with your data.
The Inbasket was moved to a new page. A small 'badge' is now displayed on the Inbasket toolbar button whenever you have unread inbasket notes.
Your active discussions were moved to a new page. A small 'badge' is now displayed on the Discussions toolbar button whenever you have unread discussions.

We created the following series of videos for helping existing users transition from the old user interface to the new one. New users can learn a lot from these videos as well.

Fixed a problem where expanding the details of an item (task, file, note, etc.) would cause the entire page to scroll up to the top. This issue existed in several areas of OnePlace, most notably the Calendar.

Now saving and restoring the last used Search filter.

This is especially nice if you find yourself searching in the same place quite often (for example, searching your archive or inbasket).

Updated the inbasket system notifications to include the workplace where appropriate.

Files, Lists, and Notes sections enhanced.

These three sections now default to a collapsed list view. Each collapsed row can be expanded or collapsed by clicking on a triangle icon next to the row.
In addition, all rows in a section can be collapsed or expanded by clicking on a Show/Hide Details link in the upper right corner of the section.
The expanded row data now includes the description of the item in addition to the meta data for the item.

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008 at 10:00 PM

Based on user feedback, we are revamping and improving the OnePlace user interface. This is the first phase, more to come...

There is a new global toolbar across the top of all pages. This toolbar combines the functionality of the old menu links, Quick Adds and Quick Links.
Removed the right sidebar, which used to contain the Quick Adds and Quick Links.
Quick Adds are now accessed via in popup menu that appears by clicking on the Quick Adds button.
Added more keyboard shortcuts. The Search, Quick Adds, Contact Us and Settings features can now be launched using the keyboard.

Search Improvements

Clicking the Search button in the global toolbar (shown above) will open a Search dialog where you enter your search criteria.
Use the Search filter (drop down) to constrain your search to a certain type of data.
You can no longer drill into (click on) items in the search results that are archived or trashed.

Added ability to sort and group the discussions shown on the 'Active Discussions' panel on the Home page.

Added ability for a team account administrator to edit a team user's account membership. For example, a team administrator can now change another user's right to administer the team account.

Fixed a crash that happens intermittently when uploading a file.

Fixed a bug across the application where OnePlace was incorrectly converting user-entered text containing a colon (:) to a hyperlink.

Fixed a bug that could occur when a user was added to a team account. If the user was added to a team workplace before his new account was activated, it would result in an application error. This scenario is now fully supported.

Monday, June 16th, 2008 at 10:00 PM

Added a new message chime to discussions.

If you and a colleague are viewing the same discussion at the same time and they post a message you will hear a chime.

This panel now shows (by default) all the discussions you've joined, regardless of whether a discussion has unread content or not.
Added a filter to this panel which can be used to show either all your discussions, or only those with unread content.
Swapped the location on the Home page of the 'Active Discussions' and 'Due Soon' panels. The panels on the left side of the Home page now deal with collaboration, and the panels on the right side deal with tasks.

Added the ability to automatically notify workplace members when a new file, list or note is added to a workplace.

The dialogs for adding a new file, list or note now contain a 'Notify workplace members...' checkbox which determines when team members are notified.

Added checkboxes to the scheduled tasks shown in the calendar. This provides another way to cross off work you've completed.

Discussions can now be emailed

Implemented SSL Security

We now support secure sockets layer (SSL), or otherwise known as HTTPS. If you have a bookmark in your browser for OnePlace, please update it to https://www.oneplacehome.com

Added the ability to unschedule a scheduled task no matter where the task appears in OnePlace (i.e. you don't have to be in your calendar to unschedule work any longer).

For tasks which are scheduled, if you click the 'Reschedule or Unschedule Task' action icon, the calendar window that pops up now has an 'Unschedule' link on it for removing the task from your calendar.
Removed the 'Remove task from calendar' action from the calendar (the red X icon). Removing a task from your calendar can now be performed via the popup calendar window, or by dragging the task from a calendar day back to the 'Unscheduled Tasks' panel.
