Recent and Future Releases: info@hand Release 6.5: Feb '10 [Shipping Now!] A completely new Dashboards module lets the user define any number of dashboard pages throughout their menu system. Each module Group (Today's Activities, Sales & Marketing, Order Management, etc..) can optionally have Dashboard pages as part of it, at the start or end of the group. A Dashboard page can display any combination of dashlets and/or charts, rather like a combined dashboard/today page in earlier versions. Dashboard pages may be one to four columns wide, with user-adjustable column width. The new Delight theme offers a more 'modal' user experience (order management mode, customer service mode, ...) and key controls fixed at bottom of browser window so they are available even when scrolling. A new Google/OpenSocial Gadgets dashlet allows most of the 170,000+ Google gadgets to be included on an info@hand dashboard as a dashlet. Facebook, GMail, Google Talk, Twitter, Calculator, Horoscopes ... there's a gadget for that. A new World Weather dashlet shows weather info from The Weather Channel for up to 10 cities. Local time may optionally be shown for each city as well. New dashlets have been added for News Feeds and My Active Projects. Support has been added for the Chrome browser from Google. New Day Grid & Week Grid views have been added to the Calendar, which show calendar info for multiple users and meeting resources in an easy-to-read grid layout, making it simple to check for a good meeting time. An enhanced editor has been added for editing HTML Emails and Templates, with better support for advanced formatting of text, better image management and spell checking. An enhanced Help System has been added, with better layout of the information, better search capabilities, and better screen images. System Search capabilities have been enhanced, including the search of additional modules, a switch to control matching only at the beginning of fields or anywhere in fields, plus a search control within most module dashlets. A new system backup has been added, which backs up both the installation directory and the MySQL database in a single zip file to the directory specified. On servers with Rsync support the large /cache directory will be backed up separately using Rsync, to another specified directory. A scheduler task now supports scheduled system backups. A new Total Account History button on the History sub-panel of the Account detail view lets the user see all Account and related history merged into a single view. A new check box has been added to each user’s Access Control screen, called Can See Product Costs. It controls if users can see product costs in the Quotes, Sales Orders and Invoices modules. An Extended Price column has been added to the Quotes, Sales Orders and Invoices screens. Two new check boxes have been added to the Company Information screen - Approve Booked Hours on Cases, and Approve Booked Hours on Projects. If they are not checked, users may book hours worked to a Case or Project Task and not have to get them approved before creating an Invoice. The ability to assign one or more Categories to Contacts or Leads via Mass Update has been added. System notification emails (such as “You have been assigned a new Lead”) may now be viewed and edited by the Administrator.
