Axosoft 2008 OnTime 2008

What's New in 2008?

New Team/Project Wiki

You are probably already familiar with the world's most well-known wiki, Wikipedia. Here is how Wikipedia currently defines wiki:

"A Wiki is computer software that allows users to easily create, edit and link web pages. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites, power community websites and area increasingly being installed by businesses to provide affordable and effective Intranets or for use in Knowledge Management".

As a software development tool (and within OnTime), a wiki can become an indispensable new way to collaborate and share knowledge visibly.
Wiki Overview

Instead of sharing documents via email and painstakingly gathering input from team members one at a time, create your documents directly in the OnTime Wiki. Then team members with appropriate access can view and edit the document collaboratively. Everyone always has access to the latest version.

Finding documents has never been easier. The OnTime Wiki leverages the project hierarchy, allowing project documents to be created wherever they should be placed logically. Clicking through the hierarchy with the Project Wiki tab selected, displays all wiki documents in that folder. Additionally, each project folder can have a designated wiki 'home page'.

Other ways to find wiki documents include Table of Contents, Recently Changed Pages and an alphabetical drop-down list.
Project-level Attachments
The new project-level attachments feature allows OnTime to be used as a repository for all project related files, like spreadsheets, images and diagrams. The preview pane instantly generates a thumbnail image of files.
Project Attachments
Project-level Custom Fields
Axosoft have extended OnTime's item-level customisation to the project level, providing the flexibility of adding custom fields to projects, if desired. These fields may be used to identify project managers, teams, direct customers, budget information, etc.
Custom Fields
  • Drag and drop to add fields
  • Drag and drop to rearrange included fields
  • Unlimited number of custom fields at the project level

Redesigned Customer and Contact Window
Axosoft have merged the Customer and Contact views into a single user interface that makes the Customer-to-Contact relationship visually easy to see. Also, finding customers and contacts is now easier than ever with the addition of the same Quick Search functionality used in many other areas of OnTime.
Customer Contacts User Interface
  • View customers and contacts together
  • Quick Search to easily find customers and contacts
  • Move columns and even add custom fields to columns
Custom Fields for Customers and Contacts
OnTime can now track any customer information you desire with the addition of customer and contact custom fields. Similar fields can be grouped together in tabs.
Customer Custom Fields
  • Create custom fields for customers and contacts
  • Group similar fields together under tabs
  • Drag and drop custom fields add/remove/rearrange
Email Templates
OnTime has the ability to send over 40 different types of email notifications. These emails can now be fully customised.
Custom Email Notifications
  • Customise email notifications and alerts
  • Include static text and special dynamic placeholder data that is filled by OnTime upon generating the notification - this applies to the message body as well as the subject line.
  • International customers can localise email content.
Drag and Drop Attachments
Attachments are nothing new in OnTime at the item level, but OnTime 2008 adds project-level attachments and drag and drop ability. The drag and drop functionality is especially useful when you want to attach multiple files at once - which is highly likely with project-level attachments.
Drag and Drop Attachments
  • Added project-level attachments
  • Select all items by clicking the header
  • Use in conjunction with the multi-edit feature for making changes to many items quickly
Hyperlink Custom Fields

OnTime's new hyperlink custom fields allows you to use hyperlinks that pass dynamic data to web applications and pages.
