Planzone New Release (February 20, 2013)

Planzone New Release (February 20, 2013)


Since February 20, new featrures are available in Planzone.
The two major new developments are :

  • strenghtening the identifcation security of Planzone users.
  • the possibility of customising working hours for each day of the week.



A system to verifiy the identity for Planzone users

Some of our international customers shared their needs concerning security with regard to whom could access their Planzone. They wanted to have enhanced verification of the identity of users who connected.
We have decided to strengthen security in Planzone by aligning ourselves with the safety standards of the group Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).
The login process will include a verification system, checking both emails and passwords and their strengths.

  • We will ask all new registered users if they are the owners of the email address they use for Planzone. (Note: if you are already a Planzone user you can also go through the verification process).
  • Planzone administrators (those who have Business and Enterprise Licenses) have the option to refuse users whose e-mails have not been verified and/or those whose password is not considered adequately secure by our verification system.
  • After 5 attempts to connect with the wrong password, access to Planzone will be blocked. The only way to regain access will be to click on the link in the e-mail sent to your Planzone address and reset your password. At the same time, you would have to verify the validity of the e-mail address.

If you want to check :

  • your email adress, you can go in My Account - My profile
  • the strenght of your password and/or change it, you have to go in My Account - Security

The possibility of setting hours for each day of the week

Planzone users, specifically those from the service industry, have specifically asked for more flexibility in setting working hours, which are the basis of resource planning.
We have made it possible to customize the calendar week (previously the default standard was 5 days/week, Mon-Fri ) in :

  • a Planzone (only for Business and Enterprise Licenses) - Planzone Administration - Calendar settings : The administrator can set the number of hours for each day of the week (from 0 to 24 hours).
  • For the User - My Work - My Calendar - My unavailability : You can then validate/or not the calendar defined by the administrator and indicate your availability.

Customizing the weekly calendar will automatically be reflected in the availability and allocation of project resources.

If, for example, you only work two days a week on a specific project you can make this clear in My unavailability.
Other improvements :

  • The integration, in the timeline, of holidays and public holidays in 3 and 6 month display modes.
  • Improved ability to move activities in a project and to another project.

We hope you like what we've done.
As always, we would love to hear what you think.

Your Planzone Team.
