New Window Opens on each Proof

  • Rachel June 2012

    Recently I noticed that when I click on the proof name on the main screen,a new window opens for each proof. I load 4 or 5 proofs every day and wind up with so many windows open at once. Also my proofs are loading very slowly - Just noticed in the past week. Anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to avoid opening another window or fix?

    Rachel,

    Thank you for the message. This is now by design based upon a lot of feature requests coming in from users that did not want to have to go through numerous clicks to return to their Dashboard or View within ProofHQ. Now all you have to do is click the close icon for the Tab or Window in the Proof Viewer. The original page that you were on now stays open.

    Please let me know if you have any questions on this.

    Regards,
    John Schuller

    Hi Both,

    I'm with Rachel on this one.

    Personally, I think it does get a bit messy having a new window open each time you select a new proof. I for one have many windows open anyway during my working hours. Would Be interesting to see what others think. Maybe there could be an option to toggle between the two methods?

Search results include proof status?
Would it be possible to include the decision status of the proof in the search results, at present if you want to search for a proof and see its current decision you have to open it or click on the options and go to the proof detail page, which takes time if you just want to do a quick search and see the status
Proof Reminders
I'm unclear on the current functionality about automatic reminders. I've read some old posts that mention that reminders were disabled because they were spammy and then one post from about a year ago where some reminder functionality was going to be added back. What is the current status of reminders? I really liked the suggestion of reminders based on whether the file has or has not been opened. It looks like this was added to the roadmap but I don't see any evidence of reminders in the options. At a minimum, we need one of the following: -Default reminders set under preferences with reminders going out on a timeframe that we specify. -or- -Set a reminder schedule when the proof is made. -or- -Ability to select multiple proofs and send reminders in bulk. (i.e. not to need to click into each proof).
could Hourly summaries include new version info
Would it be possible for the hourly summaries to mention if a new version of the proof has been created within the past hour. As the proof created emails come whenever the proof is uploaded, people on hourly summaries will get this notification before they get the summary and they may miss that the new version has been created as there is no mention of it on the summary
Custom message in notification emails is very small
Is there a way to change the type size in the notification emails? Currently it is very small for custom comments being added on upload. Any default text is ok. Or is this an email program setting? Thanks.
Live Video Review
Wow, very impressed with proofhq's features so far. There is one major feature that is missing in my opinion that I have used in another solution, and that is the ability to host a live review session for video. During a live review, everyone with access should be able to go to the review and an option to start a "presentation mode" should be enabled. Once the presentation mode is started, the person who is the "presenter" controls the progression of the video, and the video everyone is viewing starts and stops in the same frame. This way, particularly with video, everyone can be looking at the same thing and discuss on a conference call.
