Product Update: September 12 - 18

The team have made huge strides on our new Scheduling module the past week, so we should have some really exciting stuff to share with you soon! In the meantime, here are some other minor improvements and upgrades we rolled-out for you to enjoy right now...

Team & Work Scheduling improvements: The ability to drill into the details for a cell in the "Work" view of the new Schedule grid screen is now in beta too. This new right-hand-side panel helps you focus on the work for a team member's schedule to see how busy they are (or how busy they’re about to be) during a certain day or week.

Google Single Sign-on: We've enhanced our login screen to allow any user with a Google account to login to Accelo. Previously only Accelo users linked with Google Apps/Suite could do this. Now, if your Accelo username or email or Google integration connection matches a Google account you're signed in with, you can login thru Google. 

"Progress" based invoicing option: We've rolled out a new option for invoicing Projects and Tickets which allows you to easily invoice for up to a certain percent of the budget. E.g. if you've already invoiced 20% and you enter 50%, using the new "Progress percent" option, Accelo will calculate the difference and insert 30% of the budget into the invoice line item. This is available both in bulk/company billing and single invoice creation, and it can be applied across the whole invoice or customized per line item using the More Detail hover-cards.

API Update - Webhooks for Status Progressions: With the Zapier integration earlier this year our team added support for webhooks, but this was one significant change that needed more time and effort. With this enhancement, tech-savvy users will be able to tap into some of the back-end webhook magic powering Accelo and request that the platform send webhooks to their own URLs based on clients, contacts, sales, projects, tickets or retainers changing from one specific status to another. You can find our webhooks documentation here.

Expense Tab ordering: Previously, the expenses listed in the tab view for a Project and Issue displays expenses in the order which they were logged. When you have a project with a lot of expenses, however, this was hard to navigate or adjust the list. We've now made the columns titles click-able which will re-order the expenses accordingly.

My Schedule Bugfix: The My Schedule tool allows you to edit the Remaining Time for tasks by editing their details. However, editing a task's Remaining Time and saving that change wasn’t actually saving. This is has been resolved so that all changes are saved correctly.

Status re-ordering Bugfix: There was an issue right across the admin configuration area of Accelo whereby adjust the ordering or statuses wasn't sticking. We've resolve this quirk now!. 

De-activate User improvement: Accelo will now prompt an alert to suggest using the Bulk Reassign tool to re-allocate work when you choose to de-activate a user. This ensures work against the inactive user isn't lost or forgotten.
