As a Christmas gift to our Church Director users, we have rolled out the next private beta, version 4.0. This release includes some major screen updates, including cleanup and various improvements. These updates will provide a more pleasant experience when using the application, and also includes some code cleanup that will prepare us for the next release that is coming soon.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I noticed that Microsoft is starting to push down IE7 to desktops as a Windows update. Just to let you know, I have tested Church Director on IE7 and all features are working as expected. While there are a few small visual issues, they are quite minimal and will not impact usage. I’ll update the site soon to fix these minor issues when using this new browser. In the meantime, know that we are fully tested on IE7 and it is safe to upgrade with respect to Church Director.
I’m not 100% sure about that statistic, but you can now create job roles “on the fly” from the assignments page. If you’ve ever found yourself needing to add a new job role before you assign a team member, this feature is for you! Just click the “Create a new role” box and provide a role name - we’ll do the rest. And, with the magic of modern browsers, we can do this without losing your in-progress assignment plan since it all happens without a page refresh. I also hope to use this feature to make it even easier to create team planners in the future, so stay tuned!
