The iPad Is Getting Closer and Closer to the Mac

Professional Project Management on the iPad Is a Reality Thanks to Merlin Project

With the release of version 7.2 yesterday, Merlin Project on the iPad has moved even closer to the Mac version. Another important milestone on the way to the same functionality on Mac and iPad has been reached.

The new features:

• In the project settings, you can now specify the formats for the outline and WBS codes, as well as edit the value lists for attachments and resources.
• Via the new item "Edit..." in the view menu you can create and manage your own views.
• Via the new item "Edit..." in the column set menu you can create and manage your own column sets.
• From activities with planning conflicts you can now jump directly to the list with all conflicts via the context menu.

Of course, the problems known from the previous version have also been fixed and the general stability has been improved.

Merlin Project for iOS 5.1.11 Is Released

After some back and forth the version 5.1.10 for the iPad and the iPhone is now also available in the App Store – but in this case as version 5.1.11.

The reason for the delay was the beta version of iOS 13, which is unfortunately still very unstable at the moment. Since Apple has already offered this version to many users as public beta, we had to find a way to support both iOS versions, the stable old one and the buggy new one.

In this context we recommend once again: Do not use beta versions in a productive environment!

With the release, everyone on iPad can finally use the new features:

• Resources can now be created by dragging contacts from the Contacts app onto Merlin Project.
• File attachments can now be created by dragging files from the Files app or photos from the Photos app onto activities in Merlin Project.

Of course a few issues have been fixed as well:

• Date cells in net plan cards sometimes showed unreadable duplicate text.
• The height of Gantt bars can now be reduced down to 2 points.
• The content of some user-defined fields could not be edited.

Quelle est mon adresse IP ?

La meilleure chose à propos des Macs, c'est que les choses fonctionnent simplement, joliment et silencieusement. Vous n'avez pas vraiment besoin d'en savoir beaucoup sur systèmes d'exploitation macOS, les architectures informatiques, les systèmes de fichiers, les interfaces d'application ou les protocoles. Il vous suffit d'utiliser vos applications et d'être créatif. Ceci s'applique également à Merlin Project, Merlin Project Express et Merlin Server.

Vous pouvez laisser Merlin Project par exemple publier les structures de projet dans le Calendrier et les synchroniser entre les différents périphériques. Vous voyez qu'il accède aux Contacts pour les ressources. Vous pouvez l'utiliser pour envoyer des rapports par courrier électronique aux parties prenantes du projet, partager votre projet avec Merlin Server, et synchroniser les modifications d'autres utilisateurs dans un seul fichier de manière transparente. Tout fonctionne comme sur des roulettes !

Cependant, à l'occasion, un peu de compréhension technique peut vous être utile.
