Feng Office 2 / Tags as a Dimension

« on: October 07, 2011, 05:09:36 am »

It looks like Feng is moving to a cubing sort of model with the introduction of Dimensions in V2 - i.e. put all your data into the cube then use multi-dimensional filtering to "place" its position or relevance.

What then is the thinking behind making Tags non hierarchical and (more importantly) single select when filtering? If you can assign multiple tags to an object surely it makes sense to be able to select multiple tags when filtering?

Education / Is anyone using Feng in a Primary school?

« on: October 07, 2011, 05:05:20 am »

I'm evaluating Feng - initially for Governor's portal. I like the way I can create work areas for each committee then have the calendar information roll up to the higher level. Meetings become Feng events ad the reminders and linking to docs is ideal.

Getting my head around the lack of folders - I can understand the concept of filtering using tags etc, but this "global" filtering is not always appropriate. On the other hand, perhaps the multitude of quirkily named folders in a normal filing system are avoided and information is easier to find?

Anyone else out there had any experiences in the education area??
