Tips and Tricks

Quick-Sync Studiometry Touch

If you don’t often change locations or IP address when syncing from Studiometry Touch to Studiometry, you can enable to Auto-Sync feature to make the syncing much “quicker.” To do this, go to Studiometry Touch’s Settings > Network Settings section and turn on Auto-Connect.

When this is enabled, Studiometry Touch will automatically connect to the most recent server and take one step out of syncing with Studiometry. This means you just hit Sync and the syncing window will popup, sync, and then disappear without any user interaction required.

 







Selecting from lists in Studiometry Touch

Studiometry Touch gives you a couple of ways to select an item from a list of items, such as Project Statuses. The first way you can select from a list while editing a Project is to tap on the row to “select” the row and bring up the selector view giving you all of the elements on the list.

This gives you quick and convenient way to flip through the available statuses and quickly select a status without having to go to a separate view. This works great until your lists get too large or if you simply want more space to view the available items in the list. If you’d like to bring up a full-window view of all of the items in this list, you can simply tap the disclosure indicator (the blue circle with the white arrow in it) to bring up a new window showing all of the items in the list.

Here you can select any item and then you will be brought back to the editing view with the new item selected. This is a common interface element in Studiometry, used to select Project Categories and Statuses, Client Categories, Debt Categories and Employees, and more. We wanted to give Studiometry Touch an easier way of editing many fields quickly, while still allowing you to use the entire screen if needed. This solution is the best of both worlds.

Sneak Peak: Studiometry 7 Project Planning Updates (w/ movie)

Studiometry 7 has many updates to the Project Planning aspects of the program. You can now link your To Do items to your GANTT chart to have progress automatically update based on completed To Dos.

On top of this, Studiometry 7 now has Project Stages, which show the progress of a Project from start to finish. You can link your GANTT and your To Do items to your Project stages to have Studiometry automatically update your Project’s planning information every time you mark a To Do as complete.

Here’s the new introduction video on the topic:
