Today we have released many new features and improvements to the Central Desktop platform. Please read the release notes below. To see some of these new features in action, view the video below:



Release Notes:

Database Relationships
Today we are releasing a feature that many users refer to as parent/child database relationships. What this means is that you can now relate two databases together and view the relationships between them. 

For example, you can relate a customers database and ticket database. When you create new tickets, you can select a customer name from your customer database.  The ticket is then related to the customer and when viewing the customer record you will see all the tickets that are related to that customer.

Database Quick Edit
This feature comes straight from a project in our last Fedex Day.  You can now double click on any database field to edit that field without having to edit the entire record. This will drastically enhance database usability. Note that any custom workflow rules you have setup will fire upon saving these fields.

Improved Edit Option
Since the Central Desktop 2.0 release, we have received quite a few complaints about inconsistent edit options among task lists, milestones, folders, blogs, and forums. We have improved the edit options in all these areas by creating a consistent edit options dropdown menu.

Add Workspace Tasks from "My Tasks"
You can now create and assign tasks to other users and workspaces more quickly from the "My Tasks" page. Prior to this release, "My Tasks" only allowed the creation of personal tasks. This feature comes directly from user feedback and feature requests.

Importing Calendar Events
You can now bulk import calendar events from a text or CSV file. You can import event title, start date, start time, end date, end time, and event description. This will only create new events and will not modify current calendar events.

Workflow Improvements
You can now modify workflow emails in HTML mode. This allows for greater customization and formatting of workflow emails.  Additionally, file workflows now allow users to embed a direct file download URL into the email that allows the email recipient to directly download the file from the email.

Status Updates Improvements
Various minor improvements to how status updates are displayed. Status updates no longer link to the users profile. Links posted in status updates will now automatically be a link. Comments are now expanded by default on the dashboard.

As always, we welcome your comments and feedback below.

Best Regards,

The Central Desktop Team
