• We have released activeCollab 3.3.6 compatibility updates for Planning, Quick Add Plus, Chronograph, Communications and Tasks Plus modules.
• We are still updating Time Reports functionality in Reports Plus module and will release an update within 24 hours.
• All other aC3 modules are compatible with aC 3.3.6.

Excited about the latest activeCollab 3.3? We are too!!

But hold on to upgrading to 3.3.6 just yet. We are completing compatibility check with the latest versions and will announce about compatibility / updates soon. We have tested our modules with developer previews of activeCollab 3.3, but there have been changes with each incremental version, and we are still to complete full testing.

We will update this post with the latest information.

Till then we recommend you do not upgrade to activeCollab 3.3.6 if you are using our modules actively.

activeCollab 3.3.0 beta was released last week and we have been working hard to make our products compatible with activeCollab 3.3.

As of now all our products are compatible with 3.3.0.

And it felt great to release 18 updates at once… It’s a record for us!!!

Another big news is that Assignments Plus module is now merged with Planning module.

If you purchased Planning module, download the latest version from our My Account area and you can start getting the benefits of assignments plus module too.

If you purchased Assignments Plus module last year, you will be given a prorated store credit in the coming week that you can use on your future purchases. The credit will be adjusted against the product price and the duration you’ve used the product.

And yes, if you only want Assignments Plus, you may continue using it. There will be no further updates to it though. Separate Assignments Plus module only works till activeCollab 3.2.12.  All updates will now go to Planning module.

PS: All our products are also compatible with activeCollab 3.2.12.

Did you miss our March 2013 webinar? Here’s a summary of what we discussed.

• We demonstrated the new HTML view – including financial reports – for Reports Plus and let people know that even mobile views are available
• An update: Time Reports Plus is merged into Reports Plus. All future time reporting related enhancements will now be part of Reports Plus.
• User experience and interface improvements for Communications module were demonstrated too.
• Another update was that all our modules are updated for activeCollab 3.2.11, and users must use the latest versions for compatibility reasons. Using an older version with activeCollab 3.2.11 will cause errors.
• We then showed the wireframe mockups for Resource Planning. Planning and Resource Planning will be part of a single module. Outline, Timeline, Tasks View, People View – and their combinations will make it managing tasks and resources much easier for everyone. We also confirmed that we are using HTML5 technologies for the new implementation and that Flash version will be phased out once we go live.
• We also mentioned that Assignments Plus module will be merged into Planning module soon.
• The big news is that activeCollab 3.3 is coming soon, and it has a new third party module compatibility check system. Which essentially means all third party modules need to be updated to support activeCollab 3.3. Please do not upgrade to activeCollab 3.3 until you have compatible versions of all modules you may be using…
• We also discussed about adding Help desk system support to Tasks Plus and offering premium hosting services. A quick poll declared help desk system as the winner!!
• We then also answered questions from the audience and got some great suggestions for improvements.

Do you have any suggestions?? Feel free to share them in comments.

We released Communications Module version 3.1 recently. This release adds user experience polish to our activeCollab communication swiss army knife!! You can use Communications module to post status updates, hold live chat discussions with your team, post news and announcements and then some more…

Here are two screenshots – Before and After!! Let’s see how many changes you can spot 😉

Before: Communications Popup

After: Communications Popup

Before: Live Chat Window

After: Live Chat Window

There are many small differences!!

Here’s our list:

• Moved “New Communication” text box at the top instead of bottom – ala Facebook / Twitter style…
• Added a button for “New Communication” instead of a link – makes it easier to act
• Added default icon for communications – makes the interface consistent
• Moved user avatars near their names
• Showing only three latest replies in pop up to save space and keep things in context
• Renamed “Archive” to “All Communications”
• Overall fine tuning of communication pop up window for easier scanning and response
• Color changes everywhere for higher readability
• Larger attachment thumbnails in live chat window
• Better design of add/edit communication form
• “Iconified” options in live chat
• Typing a message in popup window, and clicking on “New Communication” button now carries forward your typed message.. No need to type it again!

Along with these big and small design improvements, we have also fixed a few bugs.

• Popup window now closes correctly when you move to another screen
• Fixed user logging out on clicking “Communications” link in breadcrumbs navigation
• Only a single alert box when deleting a message now
• Fixed validation error when creating a communication without any message
• Sound notifications now play correctly on new messages

We hope you like these improvements and that Communications module keeps your team in touch and up to date!

A long pending dream has come to life today!! Reports Plus module now includes mobile friendly, responsive view of the most essential activeCollab reports now.

We wanted Reports module (the activeCollab 2 edition, and our first activeCollab product) to be ported to mobile for a long time, but did not get around implementing it. Finally, and after many iterations, we’ve released mobile friendly reporting for activeCollab.

Here are some screenshots of the mobile view.

(Yeah, everybody takes iPhone screenshots, so we thought we got to pay respect to Android too!! But this will work on both iOS and Android devices.)
