Sneak Preview: A Fresh New Look
I’ve had quite a few of you ask me what is coming up for the next major release of Church Director. Here is a sneak preview of the new look and feel:
As you can tell, there is a new site theme that we think makes it look even better! The navigation bar has also been remodeled, with often-used features readily available.
In addition, the table listings have been cleaned up and the links converted to buttons to make them easier to find. Some tables also have filters on the upper-right corner, allowing you to switch between active and previously deleted items (think of the recycle bin on Windows or OS X).
Here is one more sneak preview:
Within each area, you are automatically taken to the most commonly needed function (in this example, your team member list) but other options are just a click away (e.g. Job Roles from the Manage My Team section).
There is more room on a screen now as well, using our new navigation tool bars. Combined with a wider screen layout to match your monitor size (1024×768 and above are common now), this release will make a huge improvement in how you use Church Director!
More previews coming soon…
The assignments clash thing is absolutely what’s needed, especially with the 80/20 (rule sometimes 90/10!!). Is it also going to be possible to see some indication at the point of attempting to assign someone to a role? I’m thinking like (#) next to their name to indicate they already have # assignments on the day your assigning coverage.
Keep up the great work
Knolly,
We have plans to add a view of possible conflicts on the manual assignment “drag-and-drop” screen.
Thanks for the kind words of encouragement!
James
