We are pleased to announce access to all sites has been full restored and the databases seem to be operating as expected.

A sudden and unexpected database error at one site has caused access to the system to be reduced. The exact cause of the database increase has been identified as coding error that caused the database to be duplicated upon itself with each backup. We have since fixed the code.

Now department schedulers can send reminder about upcoming shifts from the main website. This is useful if the scheduler has access to more than one site and wants to send the reminders without sending from the individual sites. It also avoid uses from 2 or more sites getting duplicate reminders.

To alert the users that the site is still processing the data to load, a new loading counter has been added

We are now inviting select users to help beta-test this latest version.

In anticipation of launching our latest version, we have also been updating the look of our website. If you like or dislike the new look, please let us know.

We have successfully completed the final step in transferring the site to a more secure and faster server.

The second stage of the server transfer is complete

We have released a new method for registered users to reset their own passwords.

First stage of the server transfer was completed successfully. 

To improve performance and security, we are migrating to a more secure Linux server. 

Now, an update allows department schedulers to alter the structure of multiple shifts with a few clicks. Previously, schedulers had to alter one shifts at a time

We are testing version 19 ... almost ready for Beta testing

Our Sunday start calendar was modified to be more easily viewable on mobile devices. If you are a registered user, please select the classic Sunday start calendar to see the difference with your smart phone. We would love to get some feedback from users about this format

Our unique feature of allowing users to send messages with the opportunity to track when they have been viewed was updated to fix a few issues

Reset testing by our beta-testers have revealed a "memory overrun" issue. We have since update the code responsible to fix this error.

We are releasing the beta version to all users

Updated module that records who logged in and when. This is part of our effort to strengthen security and also provide department with information about their users in case of a dispute.<div><br></div>

We are in the process of updating our server ... so a few modules will initially be off line. Once we successfully transfer the data to the new databases, we will be bring these modules back online.

The CME section has been revamped allowing the author of a posting to get feedback on who viewed the posting. They can now also send an email to all users (in the sites they have access to ) about the posting directly from the program.<br>

A new module was added to send users a link that will provide more information about their schedule, payments, reminder, etc. The idea if the clickable link is to allow the sender to get some notification when the user visits the linked page to view the details of the info being sent by email.<br>

Remind Me module was updated to selective send reminders of specific subsites<br>

We have been trying to optimize how the schedule is printed for sites with a large number of shifts. The traditional calendars, while looking great on a large screen, often prints over several pages. The new grouped calendars are a significant improvement. If the short name option is selected, these calendars will print on one page.

The "List" calendar view was modified to accommodate sites with many shifts. Often, for these sites, the schedule spreads over 2 printed pages. By truncating the user's first name, we are able to shrink these large schedule down to one page. Give it a try.<br>

We are updating the main website to take advantage of enhanced security

Version 18 is now in alpha devlopment

We are updating our site to take advantage of the bootstrap framework. This will allow better cross browser and mobile device support

Error protection module has been added to the schedule now. This feature prevents users from being double booked and/or scheduled back to back shifts.

We are improving the look and security of the main login site. Take a moment to explore and provide us with some feedback on the changes

Using jQuery mobile, we have revamped the appearance of this latest version

A new version with better email and communication features is released to some sites.

In anticipation of releasing a version for Nursing scheduling, we are now developing a new version. We are inviting all users to provide us with some feedback on features they like and others that may need inprovement

We are now releasing version 14 to our large sites with multiple calendars

Selective sites are being invited to start using version 14

This version is only being released to our test sites as it requires a major alteration of all existing databases to improve access and speed

Some of our long term sites are now using Version 12 exclusively

Inproved security and easy of use are the hallmarks of this version

Three sites are now using version 11 and their valuable feedback is already being incorporated into the next version. While the testing is in progress, you may notice a slight drop in the speed of the server and we run testing modules with each query<br>

After much hardwork, we are ready to preview the new update. There are numerous security updates. The program has also been designed to work well on small screens such as PDAs and cell phones

We have expanded our development team and are now exploring some new and innovative ideas to improve the user experience

Over the past week, we added our 538th user to our growing family. In addition to our users in Canada and United States, we are also exploring the expanding of our services to Europe, Australia and New Zealand. We are looking for new partnership opportunities. Please contact us if you are interested.
