WorshipPlanning.com Version 4.1.0 Released

WorshipPlanning.com Version 4.1.0

We are happy to bring you some great feature updates with version 4.1.0 of WorshipPlanning.com.  Read on to learn more!

Faster File Uploading

Drop Files here to upload

We’ve revamped the interface for getting files uploaded to WorshipPlanning.com.  You can now upload your files in far fewer steps.  If you are using FireFox, Chrome, or Safari, you can get your files into WP by simply dragging them from your computer into a special drop area.  We have also optimized the way files are uploaded so they should transfer faster.  And larger files can now be uploaded with less difficult now as well.

Improved File Management

The updated Files Library page now makes it super easy to find what you want.  You can quickly search for files by typing into the filter box.  You can also sort files by file name, upload date, file type, and a few other categories.

Renaming Files

Editing Files DialogFinally, FINALLY, we have added the ability to rename files after they have been uploaded.  In fact, we improved the Edit File window all together, allowing you to easily see where the file is used in WP, and even detaching it from right here!

 Management All Services Page

Like the File Library page, we’ve made things a little friendlier, complete with search filtering, custom display fields, and easier pagination.  We also tweaked a few items in the database to help make your list of past services load up much faster.

Better Auto-reminder Notification TimingClock

As we recently posted,  auto-reminder notifications are now being sent about the same hour of the day of the event for which the person is being reminded.  Thanks to everyone that suggested we make this improvement!

Better Auto-reminder Notification Timing

For as long as we’ve had the auto-reminder feature in WP, those reminders have been sent out at 2am.  This was no problem when email was the only way notifications were being sent.  But ever since we added text notifications as a configurable option, many folks have let us know they don’t appreciate getting those messages in the middle of the night.

This afternoon we updated WP to with a reminder system that sends the notifications about the same hour of the day as the event itself.  So if your Sunday service starts at 9am and your team is configured to be auto-reminded 2 days before, the notification will be sent about 9am on Friday.

We have some really great file-upload features coming up next week, so keep an eye out for it!
