What's New with AirSet (November 8, 2009)
Hi there,
I want tell you about a couple of exciting new and improved features...
The new "Invite Members to Join" feature
We added a new item called "Manage Members" in the "My Network" menu to make the add/manage member features more discoverable.
In the "Manage Members" section, we also added an "Invite Members to Join" feature.
You can still use the existing "Add Member" feature when inviting members to use a group cloud computer. But now there is a new and improved method available when you send an email invitation to a group of people that you would like to invite. This feature is especially helpful if you want to send an invitation to a distribution list -- when you don't have the email address of each invitee (or don't want to type in all the email addresses by hand).
The invitation includes a special link back to the AirSet site. When an invitee follows the link, he will be presented with a dialog that asks him to register or to log in (if he is already a registered AirSet user/ member of another group).
When the invitee completes registration or login, he is then added as a member of the group, pending approval. Learn more about this feature in the User Manual.
Calendar improvements
We added "Quick navigation" to the Calendar so that our users can easily navigate to a different month or year. The "Month" and "Year" in the Calendar header are now links to drop-down displays for you to quickly select the month or year that you are looking for.
We also simplified view mode options in our calendar header to "Day", "Week", and "Month", and added a clearly labeled link to "today's calendar." Though the full range of views are still available from the "View" menu.
Another feature improvement in the "Month View" is that the "day of week" labels are now always visible when you scroll the page.
Last but not least, small addition to Web Publish...
When creating your web documents using the Web Publish application, you can always create hyperlinks to existing AirSet content to a number of applications and features under the "To AirSet" option. In this release, we added two new links that will allow our users to create hyperlinks to the "Import Calendar" and "Subscribe to Calendar" dialog windows. If you are a savvy Web Publish user, be sure to check this out!

Inappropriate?Sherrie & AirSet Staff--
Thanks for your hard work and for posting this update. The posting of progress alone is a big help.
*The "Manage Members" link is cool and will speed this process along.
*The "Invite Members to Join" link is great, but the real help is in the new method of inviting members by using a distribution list. Super!
*"Calendar Improvements" is a home run--clean out of the park! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
*The two new links are a welcome addition to the Web Publish app. The best part is that it forced me to read all of the other available links in this function...way cool!
Thanks again. This is the tweaking that users love without the loss of feel of experienced in a major roll out.

P.S. The natives are getting restless. I think the iPhone better be the next update. ;)
I’m a happy camper

Inappropriate?I stumbled on the calendar improvements today before even knowing that you'd changed them. I guess that means they were timely. I was looking for a way to more easily view multiple months for planning purposes and, presto!, there they were. Thanks a bunch. I'll check out the other changes soon.
I’m getting ever more efficient!
