Hold on tight, there’s a lot to unpack in our latest release so we’re not hanging about, let’s dive in and see what our developers have in store! 

Come to the Dark Side 

It’s not just for Sith lords, many of you have asked if we can dial the brightness down a bit so we’ve updated the entire application with an (optional) dark theme. Just hop into your profile by clicking your avatar in the top left and you’ll find this option in the Preferences tab. 

Project Managers in Task Templates 

If you have tasks that are always handled by the PM then this’ll save you a heap of time, you can now assign tasks to the PM as part of your Task Templates and we’ll automatically assign them to the correct person when you use the template! 

Message Search 

Can’t remember who said it or where? No problem, you can now search message titles and contents directly from the global search feature! 

Time Allocated Fields 

You can now add Project and total Task time allocated fields to the Projects List so you don’t need to dive into a Project to check how you’re tracking against your allocations. 

Edit Contacts on the Tasks Page 

We’ll be honest, we have no idea why this wasn’t there before but it’s now possible to inline edit Task contacts (and you can even add staff who aren’t on the Project already). 

Tag Searching 

We’ve got a bit excited about Tags internally and have over 50 of them! In this update it’s now possible to search for tags to find the one you’re looking for in super quick time. 

Adding Multiple Tasks 

It’s now possible to add multiple tasks in one go in the Add/Edit Tasks editor, just keep clicking until you get the number of tasks you need! 

Task Type filters 

Another one for those of you using heading tasks, it’s now possible to filter by task type on the Task Archive and Timeline pages. 

Project Contacts search 

If you’re running a large team then this one’s for you, you can now search your staff, client and contractors when you’re assigning project contacts! 

Project Contacts Addresses 

Whilst we’re talking about project contacts, if you’ve added an address for a contact then you can now see it on the Project Details page without needing to access the Contacts manager. 

Custom Fields have moved 

With the recent overhaul of custom fields, we’re seeing lots more people using them and it doesn’t make sense to have them tucked down the side of the page so we’ve moved them into the main details section.  

Standardized Fields 

If you’re an admin user then you’re now able to set the field options on the Projects, Tasks and Project Details page for all of your users. This is great if you want to ensure everyone is looking at the same details all of the time. 

Automatic Daylight Savings 

When you login to ProWorkflow we’ll let you know if your device time doesn’t match with ProWorkflow and let you get back in sync with one click. If you’re an admin user then you can synchronize your whole team from the Settings area.
