Watermark on PDF files http://apricon.se/watermark-on-pdf-files/ Mon, 31 Mar 2014 09:20:34 +0000 http://blog.apricon.se/?p=974 A few months ago we smyglanserade a popular and useful feature, being able to get a so-called watermark on pdf files. Use the workflow for review/approval so you can put any text as a watermark on your document. This increased transparency reduces the risk to a non-approved document be mistaken as approved.
Documents that have not yet been completed for review can be stamped with the “Preliminary”, “in progress” or similar. When they are sent for review, the text is automatically changed to “Under review”, “Reviewed”, etc., and when the document is approved, it is without the watermark.

Often in workflow broadcast approved document back to the document owner to ritningsstämpeln or equivalent is updated before the document becomes available to the other. This step it feels now safer to skip, the document may already be sent for review to be completed with the status it may after approval. And so, without an intermediary, be available for the project as soon as it is approved.

The watermark is put on pdf files when they are saved to the local environment, will open on the screen, is sent and appears on the document included in a published package and managed outside Apricon project. Do you want to see more how it works and can be a help to you, please contact us!

A more “social” Apricon – Dialogue http://apricon.se/a-more-social-apricon-c3-dialogue/ Wed, 16 Oct 2013 14:05:10 +0000 http://blog.apricon.se/?p=837 Now you have an easy and informal way to communicate with the entire project team with the help of the new “Dialogue”. This can all project members make posts, share photos or commenting on other people’s posts. The function can almost be likened to a private “Facebook feed” for the project. It provides the space for dialogue among all project members outside the scheduled meetings and uppstyrda agendas. Create interest and involvement in the project through to inform and discuss the project’s development.

 

 

The dialogue is something to take note of when you are signed in to Apricon. It will not create a nuisance emails in your Inbox, but each one can follow the discussion at their convenience. There is a function to display the latest posts on the home page so that everyone sees when written anything new. For important information that must reach out quickly, we recommend that you continue using notifications for “communicating”.

We know that the dialogue will be welcomed by many users. Some will be more involved with the creation of posts while many will benefit from reading them. It is also easy to comment on a post and initiate a dialogue-don’t miss the button at the bottom right-hand corner of each post!

It will be exciting to see how the feature is received and we’d love to have your comments.

A more “social” Apricon – home page http://apricon.se/a-more-social-apricon-c3-home-page/ Tue, 04 Jun 2013 08:56:47 +0000 http://blog.apricon.se/?p=654 Project’s home page is a potential communication channel! Because it appears to everyone when you come into the project, it is a good place to highlight important information relating to all. Today provides the ability to view images Apricon, text messages, links, calendar and contacts on the home screen. Now, we develop a new version with improved administration and design to facilitate the use and give a nice first impression.

 

 

In addition, the home page will be extended with support for dialogue, activity feeds and project information. These new features will work as tabs on the home page. The first tab will be launched, “dialog” that acts much like a “Facebook feed” for the project where everyone has the opportunity to write posts and comment. You will also be able to view the latest posts from the diary directly on the home page.

We will get back to you with a description of the next tabs.

A more “social” Apricon – My Portal http://apricon.se/a-more-social-apricon-c3-my-portal/ Tue, 12 Feb 2013 15:37:20 +0000 http://blog.apricon.se/?p=550 Now the development started by the next step in creating a “socialare” project network. After logging in, our users to come to a small “portal” with extended functionality compared to today’s project list. The primary function is still that quickly and easily choose which project you want to open, which you do directly from the home page. There will also be a tab with a more detailed overview of your project. Here you get directly know how many new documents have been added and whether you have documents or issues requiring your attention.

Another more social feature is the “my contacts”. Here you can collect contacts from your project and create a “shortcut” to those who you communicate with frequently. By creating a personal list of contacts, you can also keep them after the end of the project. All users will also be able to choose whether they want to be searchable outside of their projects. This will mean that you can search for people by name, company, city or profession.

We hope these new features will be appreciated by our users. Moreover, we are convinced that the new design will give a better first impression and enhances your experience of Apricon.

A more “social” Apricon – Profile picture http://apricon.se/a-more-social-apricon-c3-profile-picture/ Tue, 04 Dec 2012 14:53:50 +0000 http://blog.apricon.se/?p=459 Gradually in 2013, parts of Apricon getting a boost graphically and functionally. To create a stronger social dimension of a project network, we are now developing new features around contacts, communication within the project team and project information. All projects are a temporary social network and by promoting communication creates motivation, new ideas and new contacts.

An important feature of the development will be to extend the user profile with a personal image that will be used in the contact list and in upcoming features. Below, you will get a sneak preview of our upcoming contact list.

So in the near future “appears” we in Apricon. The more profiles with picture all the more enjoyable!

My saved documents http://apricon.se/my-saved-documents/ Wed, 17 Oct 2012 12:08:30 +0000 http://blog.apricon.se/?p=444 When you save the document in Apricon, there is often a need to easily find them and do anything more with them, for example. send to duplication or put them in a package. The new feature “my saved documents” helps with this.

It varies from case to case, how far back in time you want to watch – an hour, a day or a week. Therefore the function a list that is sorted chronologically and grouped per day, in a similar way to “View all in chronological order”.

There are a few different options for how the selection:

View documents that I saved
Only the document that you have saved will be shown

View older versions
When someone else updates a document that you have saved as it disappears from your list. This option appears all the versions that you have saved, which is useful for those who are familiar with how versioning works.

View documents that I or anyone in my discipline has saved
Often working in teams. Then there’s the need to see also what colleagues have saved.
