New Features

The Italian language is now supported in Ezidoesit. This can be set under Ezidoesit Settings, General tab and then select it from the language drop down. Close and restart Outlook for the changes to take effect.

EziView Outlook 2007 only

This option adds an Outlook Task Pane option to Ezidoesit.

The EziView display can be turned on or off either on the Ezidoesit menu or by clicked the EziView lightbulb icon. EziView is dynamic so as you schedule tasks the mini performance gauge pie chart will change to reflect these changes and the ribbon view will display the items. If you double click on a ribbon view item it will open the Ezidoesit task. The 3 icons at the top of the EziView panel control whether the Elevator Bar, the Performance Gauge and the Ribbon View are displayed. The EziView panel can also be undocked and displayed anywhere on the screen.

Convert meeting to Task

By right mouse clicking on a meeting in the Outlook Calendar you have the option to create an Ezidoesit task from it.

Select Ezidoesit and then either Critical, High, Medium or Low to create a task with the selected priority.

This option allows the user to either prepare before or follow up after a meeting with a minimum of effort.

Outlook Categories Outlook 2007 only

Ezidoesit does not alter the original email that is used to create the Ezidoesit task. We have now added an option so that from within the Ezidoesit task you can select a colour and category to tag the original email.

Moving Original Emails to another folder

You now have the option of overriding the default folder defined in the Ezidoesit settings option so the original email can be moved to a different folder.

New Features

The current version of Ezidoesit is now called Ezidoesit Professional. There are two new editions of Ezidoesit in development which will be released by the end of July called Ezidoesit Workgroup and Ezidoesit Enterprise. Further details are below.

Flag task as fixed on add of a task – this means the task cannot be moved in the Outlook Calendar by other scheduled tasks trying to push in ahead of a fixed task.

Flag a task as private – in Ezidoesit Professional all this does is flag the task as private; in the Workgroup and Enterprise editions that are coming soon; private tasks do not appear on any reports.

Print, Print Preview and Email from an Ezidoesit task – these options are available on the Task screen when it is opened.

Project filter on Performance Gauge

This allows you to run the Performance Gauge for a specific project. The only time displayed in the pie chart is critical, high, medium and low time for this project; all free time and breaks, blocked out time is ignored.

Maximum time per day option - schedule a task for X hours a day over multiple days

This allows the task to be scheduled up to a specific number of hours a day and it will be automatically split across multiple days. i.e. 30 hour task and you want to work on it 2 hours a day.

About Ezidoesit – Support Tab

This screen now has two tabs on it. The Support tab allows the user to email a copy of the Ezidoesit log file to Starsoft where you have problems or issues. No personal information is sent to Starsoft and log files are destroyed after the issues are resolved.

Multi-user capabilities in Ezidoesit

Ezidoesit Professional can run multiple copies accessing one Microsoft SQL Server database on a server (this is how we run it at Starsoft and have done for the last 7 months). If you need to setup Ezidoesit like this please email support@starsoft.co.nz for further details.

Changes

We have made a change to the way Ezidoesit re-schedules tasks into the future which speeds up the process significantly.

We have changed to using the Microsoft Windows installer so there are some small visual differences in the installation screens.

Icons – we have changed four of the icons to try and make them standout better.

Fixed issue with the scroll speed of the schedule view when more than a few weeks were shown (it was slow).

Audit Trail changes

When you open a Ezidoesit task, there is a History tab available which shows the contents of the task, and any changes to the task appear as Update Task. This data was a little cryptic so we have now changed the language to be more user friendly.  

There is a new version of Ezidoesit (version 1.1.27) that has the following changes. This version is available on the website under Support, Upgrades.

Ezidoesit now supports the French and Spanish languages as well as English and German.

Ezidoesit for Microsoft Office 2007 has now earned the right to use the Works with Vista Logo as displayed below. The software has been tested with both Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems.
