Version 1.2.0 of Worktime Studio has been released, at
http://www.worktimestudio.com
This is an important update to Worktime Studio, because it introduces ?WorkItem Events?. WorkItem events are events which are assigned to WorkItems. Events in Worktime Studio offer you a way to schedule your activities, and set reminders to yourself for any reason at all. Not only can reminders be set to remind you to start a task or project, they can remind you of deadlines, birthdays, anniversaries, to water your plants? well, I think you get the picture.
The introduction of WorkItem events allows you to use Worktime Studio in even more ways. You can assign a category to any of your events. Worktime Studio includes some common event categories like Meeting, Deadline, Appointment, Birthday, and more. And, of course, you know that with Worktime Studio?s flexibility you can even add your own event categories.
You can view, edit, and maintain your WorkItem events from within the Activity Tree or the Activity Calendar. That?s right, WorkItem events will show up within the Activity Calendar! Scared you won?t be able to distinguish your intervals from the events? Don?t be. Events are displayed with a specific colored border (which you can change) which distinguishes them from WorkItem intervals. Double clicking on an event in the calendar allows you to edit the properties of the event, just as double clicking on an interval allows you to edit properties of the interval.
If you need an event to be recurring, there are many recurrence options that the events provide. Each occurrence of the event will display on the calendar, showing you when it will occur. Events can also have reminders. Each event allows you to set a reminder, and a lead time for that reminder. You will then be reminded when the event is ?triggered?, by either a popup notification or by the Event Reminders Manager, your choice. You can even customize where the popup notifications are displayed on your monitor, set their color, how long they are displayed, their animation method, as well as other properties of the reminder popups. You can even set a default snooze time for events so that if you don?t perform an action on the popup reminder in a given amount of time, the reminder will automatically snooze for that default duration you specify.
We feel that WorkItem events will add many possibilities to the way you can use Worktime Studio, and we?re sure you’ll like the new features that WorkItem events offer.
