New ui goodies
New toolbar [ui]
Starting today in Planio, freshly baked new UI changes have been introduced.
The tooltip provided to help you edit/add/delete an item as been entirely designed. The new slicker look consumes less space and doesn’t overlap on other items on the page. We thank our mighty designer David for this concept, we hope you will like it. Here is the look for the item editor:
Let the team know what’s released and what’s not! [status]
Also, very few people knew that they could actually do stuff to mark a story “completed”, “verified”, “released” or “approved”/”rejected”. We decided to make these “hidden buttons” look more like actual buttons. When you hover a row you will now see that everything clickable looks like a button, clicking on the hourglass will then reveal a menu that looks like this:
Getting the clutter out of item editor [item, labels, description]
As some of you might have realized, creating a new label implies that every time you open an item, this label will show up. While it shouldn’t be an issue for small projects, it definitely is for projects that have been around for quite a while like Planio. The label selection screen is now better organized and consume less space. The label section will now only show up the labels selected for that item. The regular full blown view of all the labels will be available on mouse hover..

You might also have noticed that is an item doesn’t have description, we now show a + Description link instead of a big white box so you can focus more on your stuff and less in empty white boxes.
Show me what I still have to do [filters]
Also, we are introducing a new filter to help people working on large projects. “Items I still have work in” under the story filter will reveal only stories for wich you still have tasks to complete in.
So that’s all for todays, most of these improvements were planned after being suggested by our users! Would you like to see one of your idea implemented in Planio? Submit feedback now to get your voice heard.
