Enhancement in BootStrapToday Release 2.6

We have made 2.6 Release today. Below are some of the enhancements in this Release.

1. WIKI will support HTML editor and attachments.

We have added support for HTML editor in the wiki. Now you will have an option to choose between creole markup and HTML editor for your new wiki pages.
Wiki markup lovers can still use creole markup and customers who prefer gmail type editor can use HTML editor.
Now you can attach files to WIKI.

2. Daily Digest

Project manager will have an option to get daily digest in the form of mail. If you are busy you get list of all the activity in last 24 hours delivered in your mail box in the form of email digest. Weekly digest will be available end of November.

3.  Member Tab inside Project

Member tab has been added inside project to make it more intuitive. Under this tab, you can assign different roles to members in the current project or you can invite new member to current project with specific role.

4. Ticket creation by non Team member through email (BootStrapToday for Support):

Project Manager will have an option to allow ticket creation in the project by sending e-mail to project by external users. This feature can be used by companies for support. Suppose you have info@acme.com as email on your website as contact email, where you receive inquiries from customers. Normally they will go and sit in your mailbox. BootStrapToday provides you with email for each project. Suppose your email for support project is SUP@acme.bootstraptoday.com. You can apply a forwarding rule to forward all mail received at info@acme.com to SUP@acme.bootstraptoday.com. This will create a new ticket in your support project. Now you can assign this ticket to your team members and follow up with your customers and track the progress on BootStrapToday Platform. This will help you in tracking prospects and leads on the same platform.
5.  Delegate responsibility of Account Admin to another Team member.

You can have more than one account admin. If you are not involved actively in day-to-day activities, you might want to delegate that responsibility to some of your team member. You just need to go to Account setting and assign Account Admin role to another team member.

6.  FileShare will supports Windows like file convention.

7.  Project to support tagging.

You can apply tags to projects. Tags will be visible in the project list. You should be able to filter projects based on tags.

8. Project Archive functionality
Now you will be able to archive projects once they are complete.

Enhancement in BootStrapToday Release 2.0

3) Ticket delete

Ticket delete feature has been added. This action will be available only to Project Manager.

Also, soon we will be adding “In the lab” section which will keep our customer posted on what are the features we are working on, for future releases.

IP filtering and its benefits:

The whole idea of SaaS model is that, it will help companies reduce their capital & operational expenditure and the service can be accessed from anywhere.

There are companies who would like to use product on SaaS model but are not comfortable of their employees accessing documents/source code from outside of their office premises.

Following are some of the questions being asked by some of our existing customers and potential customers.
What if I could restrict people to access all the data from my office premises in-spite of using SaaS product?
Also if I can allow some key people on the move to access the data from anywhere?

In the last release of BootStrapToday, we have introduced 2 level of IP filtering to address above two requirements.
IP Filtering at Account level: Account Admin can now define IP  Filter at account level, which will be applicable for the whole company. Company can define whole range of IP, which will restrict employees to access the data from specified IP’s only.

IP Filtering at user level: Account admin can also define IP filter at user level which will override the account level filter. If you want to allow any particular employee to access the data from office as well as home, you can define it at user level.
Sometime your marketing guy would be traveling and he would be required to access the data from outside the office or home.  This can be achieved by setting “Allow from anywhere” flag on that particular user.

I hope this will resolve concern of some of the companies, who do not want to allow their data being accessible from outside office, at the same time giving flexibility for certain people.
