Activate/Deactivate Users!

You can now activate and deactivate users as you require, this way you can have an unlimited amount of users registered to your system but only the amount of users you are licensed for active at any one time.

This is ideal if you have many clients, partners or employees that need access on a project by project basis, simply activate their details for their project and deactivate their details when the project is complete freeing up the user space for another user.

Simply purchase the number of users you need active at any one time, you can upgrade your users online at any time.

New task tab

A new "Tasks" tab has now been added to the project page in OPMcreator.

This new tab will show you tasks for all projects you are authorised to view, the filter options on this page also allow you to view tasks on a project by project and/or user basis, you can also view overdue tasks as required.

File upload email feature

When you now upload a new file to a project in OPMcreator you are given the option to alter the "standard" text in the notification email before you send it. This is useful if you need to describe a file that you have uploaded to your project users.

You can change the "standard" text for the email in the "Adminstration/Modify" area of your OPMcreator system.

If you don't select to send the email to all users or select users from the list, no email notification is sent.
