This week we applied updates that addressed a couple of important issues. First, many of you may have noticed that for the past few weeks, when clicking on a song title, the “Last Performed” field showed “Temporarily Unavailable” instead of the service date and time. An incremental (and necessary) update we applied three weeks ago caused the searching of the Last Performed field to be very slow in our database. In fact, it was slow enough that multiple simultaneous searches caused the application to be unresponsive. So, we decided to disable this automatic search temporarily. With the update on Monday, we re-enabled the “Last Performed” field in the song menu that pops up when you click on a song. In fact, the update has made that songs menu considerable faster to pop-up than it was before. And, you should notice page-load speed improvements on the worship flow page and the Song Statistics page.
The other fix that was applied this week addressed an issue experienced by Internet Explorer users logging in through the Secure connection. Due to the IE security settings, you may have noticed multiple warnings that not all elements on the page where being transmitted in a secure manner. Our update this week resolves that issue, and you should no longer receive that message.
So much of what WorshipPlanning.com has become is the result of feedback from churches like yours. This evening, we applied four enhancements that have been among the top recent requests.
First, to apply a template to an existing service, hover over the ‘actions’ menu on the worship flow page and select ‘apply a worship template’. Next, you’ll notice a new and improved Apply Templates page that lets you actually choose to either replace existing worship flow elements, or append the template elements to the end of the existing worship flow. It will even give you a preview of what your new worship flow will look like!
And for those curious as to how this was done before the Actions menu option, there was (and still is) an icon on the page where worship flow templates are managed (Admin >> Worship Flow Templates). The small icon looks like a 2 stacked sheets of paper, and it is next to each template name.
We are also working on a performance improvement project that should speed things up for pages with songs listed on them. AND we have a very, VERY cool feature that we really want to tell you about….but can’t just yet. Stay tuned!
