Update 1 to Team Scheduling Beta

We have received some great feedback during this first week of the new Team Scheduling page. And, in turn, we applied an update this evening that fixes a few small bugs, and adds a few minor enhancements.

Here are a things we are working on for one of our next beta updates:

  • Ability for Planner to change the assignment response by clicking on the status color code of an assignment
  • Ability to send an email notification to just one person
  • Ability to send send notifications to just "Penciled In" assignments
  • Ability to hide teams with no assignments
Of course, there are more features we have planned, but these seems to be next on the list (for now).

One other update we applied this evening is something Helpers should really love. We have made the assignment response page more intuitive to use. Helpers can respond to an assignment for master and linked services with ONE CLICK! To check it out, login to your MyWP account. We haven't updated out tutorial video yet, but that will be happening soon.

One last note: I am going to leave this blog post open for comments. If you have any thoughts or feedback on features mentioned in this post, you are welcome to post them here.

Sounds like a great idea and much needed enhancement. However, I attempted to check the beta version 3 times and each time Mozilla locked up and would not respond.

@Rod - We are seeing some performance issues with church accounts that have more than 1 dozen or so future services. This will be fixed before we graduate from the beta phase. I tried your account, and it does work if you wait long enough (even though FireFox advises you that the script has stalled). Sorry for the inconvenience. It is quite a bit of data we are having to retrieve and process. We just need to tune things a bit.

We might also, in the short term, have it only load one month of services at a time, and give you the option to load more services after the initial load.
