Update 62

What's new?

Schedule Performance

  • Moving/resizing a block on the schedule used to stop you from moving not only that block but every other block on the schedule until the save finished with no feedback as to when it finished. Now, only the block you moved will be locked until the save finishes, as well as showing pulsing dots inside the block to let you see when it finishes saving

  • We also now only trigger a save if you have actually made a change to the block, previously picking it up and dropping it on the same day would cause a save and everything gets blocked

  • Improved the order that things load so the most important things are loaded first, while leaving the least important (eg Team Availability) until last

  • When loading in a new week in the schedule, the pulsing 'ghosted' ToDos will now only appear in the new area being loaded rather than across the entire user row

  • Fixed an issue where using a magic mouse to scroll sideways would sometimes jump you 2/3/4 weeks into the future/past

    ToDo Performance

  • Made the page load in a single request instead of 4 which should provide a boost to each visit to the pageWe got rid of the black ST loading spinner and replaced it with a softer pulsing dots loading state to make it smoother

Priorities Performance

  • Better loading states on the page as well as the Add Card modal. Also fixed a bug where the modal would go blank after picking a job for a second or so

.

General Performance

  • Each time you navigate to a new page, we are now 'purging' old data from your browser. This should help with performance slowly degrading over the period of a day as you view more and more Jobs/ToDos/Schedules

Update 59

What's new?

Mobile Improvements!

  • The Streamtime app is now back to being responsive. Previously if viewed on a mobile, it would be the desktop app just zoomed out super small. What we do now is hide the areas of the app that aren't mobile optimised (job, schedule, priorities) and still let you use the rest in a completely responsive way. Anyone who now asks for an Android app, we can simply tell them that the website does everything the app does and more (eg you can view contacts and companies, invite users, etc)New responsive emails for when someone signs up from streamtime.net or invites a new user. These emails fit much better on the current flagship mobile phone screen sizes

ToDo screen improvements

  • Summary of hours spent - Just hover over the ToDo/Done in the bottom right of the ToDo screen for a day by day breakdown of the hours on that day

  • 'Create & Log' button when creating/editing a ToDo so you don't have to save it THEN drag it to done, you can just hit create & log to do it in one go

  • When creating a ToDo and switching to personal, instantly focuses the description field so you can start typing without clicking into the field

Update 58

Whats new?

Job Page Redesign

The Goal : make the job page work harder for our users. 

  • Move job summary information to top of page allowing more real estate for the job items

  • Job burnup Chart - see how the job is progressing at a glance (Used) and where it is heading (Ideal/future Todos)

  • New 'Create' shortcut button. This is where you can action everything on the job page like invoicing, expenses, duplicating, etc.

  • New actions from the job page like creating a new job (ie not duplicate) and also plan a ToDo directly from the job page for yourself New job profit margin % figure displayed for each job

  • Holding 'alt' and clicking on the job item V will expand all job items on the job

Performance improvements

  • Significant improvements to the job page, but these also extend to all areas of the app, particularly those with drag and drop interactions (which is almost everywhere).

  • Added an integrations page which clearly calls out all of our integrations and links to documentation, etc. You can now see these even if you don't have privileges (but can't action them)

Dashboard

  • now updates every minute to keep you up to date with changes made across the system

Some extras to love

  • On creation of a job, we scroll you down to the item to focus you on what is needed. All subsequent adds/edits to an item will keep re-scrolling the screen to make sure what you are working on is always in focus

  • You can now copy and paste from the job number suggestions when editing the job number (eg copy the last number, paste in the number field and change the last digit)

  • Editing the job name/number is now separate to editing the budget for aesthetics

  • The job page won't show the currency symbol if it's more than 1 character long (eg $ will show, but CHF won't)

Update 55

Whats new?

  • Lazy loading of the Time & Expenses list from within a jobWe now lazy load this screen similar to the report screen in Jobs. The modal can now better handle internal jobs without crashing the browser

  • "Credit Notes" now allowed in Streamtime. Not a complete credit note system, but at least you can record an invoice with a negative total, update the naming convention that it uses and the status will be reflected as such

Some extras to love

  • Display when a sub item was completed and who it was completed by on a job item

  • Item card now has tooltips on the icons to give a bit of heads up as to what they do

Update 54

Whats new?

Priorities

  • Priorities released to all Streamtime plans. Anyone with access to jobs will have a new option in their Streamtime sidebar. Checkbox removed from BEN

  • I want to switch to other team members Priorities boards to see what they are working on and so we can choose to all work off the same board as a team

  • Old "Job Card" view from "Jobs" section has been removed

Update 53

Whats new?

  • Showing unplanned time on the job

  • Adding sub-items to a job item

  • Also show the progress of a sub item when hovering over a ToDo

  • When creating a quote/invoice from the job plan, sub items will be brought through as well as the notes

  • Editing a ToDo will list all the sub items and allow you to complete/un-complete them

New item card re-design.

  • Allow control to open/close individual areas so that you only need to see what is important. For instance, hide extremely long notes but show me all the users and sub items (currently not saving after a browser refresh, but this could come in the future depending on user testing). Better transitions when opening/closing areas, deleting/creating items, etc so that there is no more jumping and everything should feel 'smoother'

Some extras to love

  • Added a back button to the schedule so that if you jump from a job -> schedule, you can easily get back to the job

  • Added intercom events for when creating an invoice from a quote and creating a quote from the job plan

  • "Unplanned time" is now called "Extra hours tracked" in all reports and list screens

  • Priorities now has an option to choose what you see on the face of the cards, as well as some design updates to make them more visually appealing

  • Efficiency improvements when adding users to a job item to make it faster to use just the keyboard to add people

  • Job Labels are now exported when you export logged time entries for easier reporting

  • Added an 'undo' option when merging line items on an invoice/quote/po

  • Merge rows on Quote/Invoice

  • Navigation improvements - ability to jump from time list to Jobs by clicking on Job name/number
