Midnight -Version 5.0
Released July 8th, 2016
ENHANCEMENTS:
Dynamic Job Board:
You asked for it, and we delivered it! You will find two new buttons on the DJB – Calendar View and Timeline view. This new functionality is replacing the current Scheduling module in Midnight. For those currently using the original scheduling module, you can continue to use it for the next few months. However, we want to work with you and migrate you over to the new and improved scheduling tools here in the DJB. These new views are fully integrated into the DJB, and all views work in coordination with each other.
– Auto-Scheduled tasks appear on the Calendar view
– You can schedule non-scheduled tasks directly from the Task view.
– Drag-n-drop and edit tasks in the Calendar view.
– Manage and view all tasks for a single order in the new Job Dialog page.
– Flag services in admin/services that you don’t want to appear on the DJB
– And so much more!
**Rather than try and explain all this new functionality, we have created this video for you to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-Cssw8VFeE
