Latest Updates for TenForce Execution - Sprint 66

We are continuously improving the quality and user experience of our application. From the list below you will learn that TenForce Execution is becoming a highly reliable (see: https) and flexible environment to drive all kinds of work in many different circumstances. In addition we worked on the integration with other applications (REST API). This is a rundown of the new features we released in the last few sprints.

HTTPS support

Applications can now run over HTTPS, the secure version of the HTTP protocol.

Support for REST

Any program can now connect to TenForce Execution, if following conditions are fulfilled:

• you can connect to the network where your TenForce Execution is available,
• you have a username, password and API-key valid for your TenForce instance,
• your application can talk HTTP and knows how to deal with XML as a result.

Pretty modest set of requirements.

IE6

We like our users to experience the full potential of modern browsers in our application. Older versions of browsers are designed to browse text. Today a browser runs al sort of applications. In this respect Internet Explorer 6 is really old, so we inform users about its limitations. Whenever a user connects to the application using IE6, we foresee a special message

Excel support

We try to replace MS Excel as much as possible from an operational point of view. So please do not manage your actions, issues, tasks, projects, requests … with MS Excel. Remember, it remains single user. However we love MS Excel when it comes down to creating reports.

The things you can do with MS Excel, never stop to amaze me:

• Filtering & sorting
• Pivot tables
• Conditional formatting

In TenForce Execution you can assign an MS Excel template to a smart list. A smart list is a kind of view or filter that you created on the data in the application. If you have applied special formatting in your MS Excel sheet, you can safely upload this file as a smart list template in TenForce. Each time you refresh your smart list, TenForce Execution refreshes the data, as well as all pivot tables and conditional formatting in your spreadsheet version of the smart list.
