Wekaworx on IE8

Here is a screen-shot of Wekaworx running on IE8 Beta2. Wekaworx runs fine, and performs just as well as you have become used to. 

 

Wekaworx on IE8

 

IE8 enforces web standards and therefore many web pages won’t present correctly unless written following valid web standards. Wekaworx was written to be XHTML strict and therefore follows the web standards and runs fine on IE8.

Here is what Microsoft say about IE8

There are many new features in Windows Internet Explorer 8 that will excite both end-users and developers. Features such as Accelerators and Web Slices enhance the user experience, while the improved Phishing Filter helps keep users safe. For developers, strong Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and HTML compatibility, enhancements to ActiveX controls, and greater Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) interoperability provide opportunities to bring new experiences to users.

Well done Microsoft for catching up to the other browsers on web standard compliance.

Adding Users To Wekaworx

Hi Again,

The ‘Add New User’ function allows an admin user to create and add a new user to their Wekaworx group. The new user can then share access to the group contacts. Users are able to add a group contact to their ‘My Contacts’ list for easy access on their dashboard view. Users are also able to assign tasks to themselves or other users within the group. 

The following diagram represents users, contacts and tasks within the group. 

A:  Demonstrates that any user has access to the group contacts. 
B:  Demonstrates that a user can add a contact to their ‘My Contacts’ list for easy access on their dashboard. 
C:  Demonstrates a user assigning a task to another user in the group. 
D:  Demonstrates that relationships between contacts can be created. 
E:  Demonstrates an admin user creating another user.

 

 

Enjoy

Import Contacts Is Here!

Yes that’s right, Import Contacts is here. It was a while coming but we are there now!

The import function allows you to import your contacts into Wekaworx from another application. The imported file must be a vCard formatted file.

vCard is a file format standard for electronic business cards. vCards are often attached to e-mail messages, but can be exchanged in other ways, such as on the World Wide Web. They can contain name and address information, phone numbers, URLs, logos, photographs, and even audio clips. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Most applications allow you to export your contacts as vCard format. With Microsoft Outlook you will need to download one of the many utilities that allow you to do this. Just google ‘vcard export from outlook’ to find a utility program.

The diagram above illustrates a few of the many applications that export contacts as vCard format.

Have a go!

Cheers

What Time Is It?

I have finally sorted out the timezones for Wekaworx. When a new user signs up they will be able to select their timezone and therefore get the correct calendar for assigning tasks. The diagram above shows the browser time (1) and the user’s timezone (2). The browser time is currently included for testing and helps me with screen-shots that the test users send through. You will see the timezone changes in the next release due in June.

Time For An Update!

Sorry I haven’t posted for a while, but things have been progressing with Wekaworx. I have released 1.0.0 with many changes but too many to list here. Email me for a test login if you want to give it a try.

Cheers
