A new monthly post to present the new features available either via a new module or via new features in a module version released the previous month. This post will present in more details these new features.

1. New module versions

1.1 JTask 3.5

Long-awaited features are coming in this version..

Tags

Labels are available for tasks in projects.

From the task modification you can create, modify, delete a label.

You can also add labels in the quick entry field with the shortcut #

It is then possible to filter the tasks by label

Project models

You can now create project models or transform an existing project into a model.

Actions performed in a template do not generate any notification (task creation, comment, etc...) and tasks do not show up in the "My Tasks" view for assigned members.

You can find the templates in a dedicated section of the "Projects" application

A button is available on a template project to create a project from this template

Mentions

Mentions in task comments now work like mentions in regular comments (previously, the mention did not generate alerts to the person mentioned).

1.2 Collaborative spaces 7.5.1

Some updates in this new version which also includes a good amount of patches.

Setting the style of the banners of the collaborative space

You can manage :

• the color theme
• the color of the title text
• the text color of the tabs
• the background color of the tabs
• the opacity of the tabs
• have a "condensed" mode where the banner reduces in height
• choose an image for the banner
  • apply to this image a horizontal or vertical repetition or both
  • apply to this image a horizontal, vertical or both mirror effect
  • choose the positioning of this image (among a choice of 9 positions from top/leftto bottom/right)

Setting the look > main screen

Look setting > secondary screen

A "Condensed" mode:

• Only one background color and no image
• Reduced height of the banner

Administration

Front office moderator management

Previously, to define moderators in a space, it was necessary to go through the back office. This evolution now allows you to manage them in the front office, via the member management interface.

List of collaborative space requests from the space directory

This list is available via thespace directoryapplication.

Guest accounts

Allow to choose a home page for guest accounts

This space can be a non-collaborative space, whose contents will obviously be readable by the guests.

When the guest logs in, he will be automatically redirected to this "home" space.

Allow guests to access a predefined list of spaces

Need: for example, the Horizon chat documents workspace (not collaborative). Or an editorial space to help guests, etc...
