With this release we focused on increasing the flexibility of permissions, to allow very discrete control of what every user can see and edit when the log in. One of the implications of this permissioning is that an employee type called Freelancer can be set up to book time against a project or task and not have visibility into the rest of the client or project tree. In addition, we set up functionality that disables time tracking at the client level, effectively forcing users to create discrete projects or tasks. 2.07:

• Creates Permissions attribute to enable discrete permission control.
• Creates Permissions link on Setup to create global permissions for every user.
• Adds Edit Permission button when editing a Client or Project to override global settings.
• Creates Freelance employee type.
• Creates option to disable time tracking at the client level.

Our client Decisioneering was acquired by Hyperion Software today. We hope that part of their spectacular performance over the last few years was attributable to their use of PositiveWare.

We congratulate the management of Decisioneering including Jim Franklin for making this deal happen.

Now to bring Hyperion into the fold!

Our client Grandaisy Bakery has redone their website, and it has left me drooling. The pictures are out of this world. Hopefully this means the online store is coming soon.

We took the time over the holidays to clean up a few undocumented features and add a couple of minor enhancements. 2.0.6:

1. Adds popup to inform user when their PositiveWare session has timed out.
2. Adds highlighting in the timesheet to make each row easier to see when you mouse over it.
3. Fixes bug when user tries to use duplicate category in timesheet.
4. Fixes bug when form data is lost after an error in billing adjustment.

There are no release notes for this release. However, with each release we feature a ‘This Day In History’ snippet, such as this one about the Brooklyn Bridge.
