If you have already installed Ezidoesit the April 14th version will install in around 30 seconds. You have to close Outlook to install it. No restart of your computer is required.

This new versions has the following changes and enhancements.

About Us
This option has been moved from Settings to the bottom of the Ezidoesit drop-down menu.

New Task message
This has been removed from Ezidoesit

Typographical Issues
Some small changes of wording made in Settings

Menu Icons
In Settings you can now set options to display on the Ezidoesit menu bar icons for –New Task, Task List, Ribbon View, Time Usage, Performance Gauge and Settings.

New Elevator option
An enhanced Elevator Bar can be set in Settings. This Elevator Bar can be resized vertically and horizontally which enables it to be positioned on the Outlook menu.

Task List Project Filter
There is a Project drop-down filter in the Task List option which enables you to view all tasks associated with the selected project.

24 hour time
There is a checkbox option in Settings which changes the time displayed to use the 24 hour clock i.e. 3pm becomes 15:00

Scheduled Tasks
In Settings you can now set a reminder for scheduled tasks. You can set the number of minutes or hours before either the Start or the Deadline that the reminder is displayed. This can be enabled or disabled in each task to over ride these settings.

Coloured Task List
This option which can be turned on in Settings, displays tasks in red that are not marked as complete if they should be finished.

Tasks that have 20% of their time left are displayed in yellow.

These coloured highlights are displayed if the Status drop-down is set to Past Completion.

Do It Now changes the status to Critical.

If you click on the Do It Now button a second time then this will disable the Do It Now scheduling and hide the two check boxes. You must do this before you click on Save though.

The scheduling process will not shift any tasks to be scheduled onto the next day, it will calculate how much time is available during the rest of the day and will extend the end of the work day as needed to fit all existing scheduled items + this new task in for today. If you need to make other changes to your schedule beyond this, remember you can drag tasks around your Outlook Calendar and your Ezidoesit tasks are updated with the new times automatically.

Website changes
Within the next two weeks there will be a German language version of the Ezidoesit website. Other languages will follow starting with French and Spanish.

In the next week there will be links to video clips showing how to use some of the features and options in Ezidoesit.

There are some new documents on the Help Ezidoesit Documentation web page.

Next Version
The next version of Ezidoesit to be released is scheduled at this time to be on Monday 5^th May.

We always like hearing from Ezidoesit users regarding what they would like to see added to the software. Send us an email to support@starsoft.co.nz
