About this build
This build brings minor improvements and bug fixes.
User interface improvements for Windows users
In this build we bring some improvements in the user interface that make it easier to work with timeSensor LEGAL under Windows. Thus, timeSensor LEGAL now behaves identically under Windows and macOS. Until now, there were slight differences between the operating systems for technical reasons.
Automatic hiding of the timeSensor bars
The area and function bars in timeSensor LEGAL sometimes interfere with viewing objects that are located directly behind the bars. Therefore, the bars can now be set as under macOS: if you click with the mouse on the desktop or on another application, the two bars are automatically hidden. As soon as timeSensor LEGAL comes to the foreground again, for example by clicking on an open window of timeSensor LEGAL or on the splash screen, the bars are shown again.
The behaviour of the two toolbars can be adjusted by selecting Special in the Admin menu in the Settings area and then clicking on System. You can either fix the toolbars under Windows (previous behaviour) or hide them automatically.
Deactivating the 'Maximise Window' Icon
There are two operating modes for software under Windows: SDI ("Single Document Interface") or MDI ("Multiple Document Interface"). In simple terms, SDI software runs everything more or less in a single window. Outlook is an example of SDI software. With MDI software, on the other hand, you can open as many windows as you like.
timeSensor LEGAL is committed to MDI and thus to the possibility of working with several windows simultaneously and interacting with them flexibly, e.g. by dragging and dropping from one window to another. This allows more experienced users to work more productively because hierarchical workflows are not forced and data from different areas can be processed simultaneously.
With SDI software, Windows users often reflexively maximise the application window by clicking on the Maximise icon in the window bar at the top right. This way the window can take up the whole screen. However, this makes no sense for MDI software, because it is in the nature of MDI software that the application has several windows open and none of these windows should take up the entire screen.
For this reason, the maximise icon can generally be deactivated from this version of timeSensor LEGAL. Of course, the window size can still be adjusted per window by dragging the edges with the mouse.
This functionality can also be adjusted by selecting Special in the Admin menu in the Settings area and then clicking on System. Note the new checkbox Allow maximising windows, with which you can set the previous behaviour again.
Movable splash screen
The splash screen is used to conveniently return to timeSensor LEGAL at any time with one click. The splash screen is now freely movable and can now be positioned as desired. Simply grab the splash screen with the mouse and drag it to the desired location.
User interface improvements for all users
- In the case folder and in the dossier we have included additional window splitters with which you can adjust the window geometry ad hoc. For example, you can make very long comments or long texts for deadlines visible, as the example below shows.
- To help you keep track of a large number of deadlines, appointments or resubmissions, you now have the option of additionally filtering the deadlines by clerk and categories (if you use them).
- We have also refined the look of the user interface.
Minor improvements
Create deadlines/resubmissions for groups
Occasionally, the wish arose that deadlines or resubmissions could be assigned to an entire user group. For example, if several staff members in a secretarial group share the work, it would increase user comfort if all members of the secretarial group could be easily assigned. For this purpose, we have created a new action menu, as the picture shows.
Security request in the timesheet
In the timesheet it happened from time to time that services were mistakenly entered on the wrong day and were then "missed". Here we have built in a new safety query: if a service is entered in the timesheet with a date that lies outside the currently displayed time range, a warning is issued. The warning occurs only once in the course of an open timesheet so that it does not become annoying. If you close the timesheet and open it again, the warning occurs again.
Bug Fixes
Around 20 other small improvements and bug fixes round off this update.
