I just pushed out a new version last night with some enhancements that have been asked about for a while now. First off, you can now subscribe to your personal calendar in any app that supports the authenticated iCalendar standard, such as Apple iCal, Outlook 2007, or Mozilla Sunbird. If you have one of these apps, you're good to go. Simply click on the new "Subscribe to this calendar" button on the events page:
This will open up the program on your computer that is set to handle webcal subscriptions:
Then, you'll have to authenticate...use your Stafftool login and password to continue:
From there you can set up some details for the subscription:
Another thing to keep in mind - this will also work with filtered calendars. Do do so, just filter your calendar by groups or tags, and when you're viewing that filtered calendar click the subscribe button and you will subscribe to just those events. Makes it much easier to create very specific calendars if you to do something like only tracking upcoming private staff events in your iCal and nothing else.
That's all there is to it! You'll now be able to view all your upcoming private Stafftool events on your desktop alongside all the other events you manage in your app. The second new feature is an improvement to tagging that will hopefully help keep your tagging efforts more consistent and easy. Now, whenever you are adding or editing a person or event, the tags field will now display a listing of all your current tags that you can click on to add them to the current record.
This list will only show up when you click inside the tags field, and you can just click the tags to toggle them within the field, comma separated and all.
Here's a little video clip so you can see it in action.
This is a first pass, so there are still some improvements that I'd like to make, such as automatically highlighting the tags in the list if you choose to type them in rather than click, and I'm sure some things might not work exactly right...but let me know what you think! Hopefully it will make it much easier to have a consistent set of tags applied to your records.
