Ok.. this isn’t “hot off-the-press” since it’s been out for a couple weeks but I’d thought some folks might not have seen this yet.
Just a reminder: This new build of Daylite will need a schema upgrad to the database and all OFFLINE databases need to be synced BEFORE you upgrade and all OFFLINE databases should be recreated afterwards.
New Features:
Reminder Changes: Reminders have been completely reworked, allowing for unlimited reminders for any user on any appointment and task. This also resolves sync problems associated with multiple reminders on an appointment or task that were encountered by some users. Reminders on repeat appointments are also properly supported now.
- Resolves syncing issues with iCal alarms.
- Allows unlimited reminders for appointments and tasks to be created by any user.
- Allows automatic creation of default reminders when accepting appointments and when appointment/task is delegated or assigned.
- Improved import and export of appointments/events containing reminders to/from iCal.
Task changes: Some options for tasks have been reworked to simplify and enhance the management of tasks.
Added a new “Inbox” for tasks. You can manually add tasks to the inbox for reviewing and processing them later. You can do this by selecting the “Inbox” checkbox in a task card or dragging tasks to the Inbox in your Source list pane. In the Default Values pane of Daylite Preferences, you can select whether you wish to add all new tasks to the inbox.
