Improved look and feel

Optimized for larger screens

"Why isn't VOGSY using more screen space when I use it on a larger screen?"

We listened to your feedback and improved the UI so it makes optimal use of the available space on your screen.

The feed has a dynamic grid which shows multiple columns when there is enough space.

On laptop

On mobile phone

Tip: To use maximum screen space, you can hide the menu on the left side!

New search

The search is improved and matches the UI-patterns of Google. This makes searching organisations, projects or opportunities much more easy!

Search on mobile

On a larger screen, the search field is always displayed in the header of the screen. When the search field is tapped, you can start searching by typing a keyword. By default the results contain all entities (persons, organisations, opportunities and projects), but if you're looking for an organisation, you can tap on the tile 'Organisations' and search only in organisations.

Please note that the keywords are saved and can be used again by tapping on them in section 'Recent'!

Search on laptop

Looking for a list of all your organisations or projects? Just tap on a tile without searching and you'll see the complete list. 

On the right side of the screen you can filter search results.

Improvements 'Planning Resources'

Three major improves will make planning of resources a lot easier and more efficient.

To get an actual view of the overall availability of resources visualized in time, it's possible to see the totals of working hours, planned hours and available hours. These totals can be turned on and off with the settings wheel.

View totals

2. See if resources are on track

Are hours spent as planned? The answer on this question is an important indication of the probability that the project wil be finished in time. Now it's possible to get insight in the actual hours vs planned hours by adding these columns to the view of 'Planning Resources'.

3. Planning Resources: Change planned hours

Project planning

The visualization of the project planning when accessed from the project card is improved. The biggest issue was the poor navigation and visualization. This is solved by starting function 'Planning projects', filtered by the project from which the planning is accessed. To get a complete view, deliverables are automatically collapsed.

Project planning started from project card

My planning

Just like the project planning (as described above), the visualization and navigation of 'My planning' caused friction because its poor UI. This is solved by starting 'Planning Resources' filtered by the current employee which makes navigating thru time and changing planned hours (by tapping on cells) much easier.

What's new?

New install flow

The install flow had a complete make-over! In a simplified and more transparant flow, the user is asked to give information about himself and his company.

Consent

Another improvement is the possibility to install VOGSY without admin consent. This means that everyone with a business account, can install VOGSY! 

Plan resources for a specific period

When a resource is planned for an activity the planned hours were divided over the period of the calculated activity. When this periode starts in the past, it resulted in planned hours in a past period. This is solved by a introducing a dedicated period which can be assigned when planning resources. This period is used to divide the planned hours.

Planned period

Plan resources using day patterns 

Want to plan a resource on specific days of the week over a period? Tis is possible with a brand new feature! For each created planned period, the days can be selected. The hours are planned over the selected days.

A nice improvement in Planning Projects: Tapping on a deliverable, shows the activities and the planned resources. This gives a complete view and more detailed view on the planning of projects.

Change planned hours in Planning Resources

Tap on a cell in 'Planning Resources', to change the planned hours of the resource for that week. Now you can change the planning without navigating to the project. This makes it a lot easier to plan your resources!

Change planned hours

Holidays and availablity

To have a correct insight in the availability of resources, its necessary to anticipate on holidays. Now its possible to activate holidays per company or department. This is possible with back office function 'Holidays'. By selecting a country, the holidays of that country are imported and you can select the holidays which are a day off so this affects the availability and planning of resources.

Select holidays
