Installation problems / Re: v.15.3 to v. 1.6 Failed to execute DB schema transformations

« on: July 27, 2015, 07:19:50 pm »

Hi bukbr,

The fact that this post has been dormant for so long is probably due to the version being quite old (Posts are from 2010 and is now 2015) and most of the users have successfully upgraded.

Ignacio did respond what I believe is a good (while generalist) explanation:

There's not one single guide to solve all problems. It depends on the problem.

Here is a guide for different types of upgrades.

If you need to perform an upgrade on an important installation and need specific help, please do PM me or contact the team.

Feng Office 3 / Re: Tasks are prohibitively slow

« on: January 06, 2015, 10:50:57 am »

Thanks Steve.

Yes, we see that issue too. And it is top priority (As a matter of fact, we are working on that today).

The not-so-great news is that estimated work time required for fixing/improving this issue is: long. 

Next release (3.0.2) will be out soon with other fixes - but not this issue.

We aim at 3.0.3 improving this.

Couldn't open the video:

We are aware of the tasks tab performance degrading with a large number of tasks... but it would be interesting to see more cases.

Good news is that this issue is a high-priority and will probably be addressed on Feng Office 3.0.3

Feng Office 3 / Re: Add Tags

« on: December 30, 2014, 11:07:47 am »

Hi Mauro,

Tags is not a "hierarchic dimension".

Meaning: you can't create tags under other tags.

Workspaces, and Clients and Project are hierarchic dimensions.

Having said that: I do see the bug you are referring to: there shouldn't be a "located under" field when editing a tag. I will report it to the dev team.

Thanks!

Feng Office 3 / Re: How do you like Feng Office 3?

« on: December 28, 2014, 12:25:13 pm »

Hi Vizfact and Vat78,

Thanks for the feedback.

Excellent questions and comments.

1. Why you removed Persons dimension?
It has been hidden. You could re-activate it with a little bit of hacking (I don't know how this is done, but will be asking the dev team to share some more on this)
We plan on re-enabling the dimension after we finish it.
Problem was: it was causing most new-users more confusion than providing functionality. We are recommending everyone use the "people tab" until we finish the design and development of this one.

2. My instalation v3.0 works slowly than v.2.6
Could it be because of this?
http://forum.fengoffice.com/index.php?topic=19956.0
If not; do you have any hints of what it could be?

3. After any actions in list of objects it becomes blank for a while and then it's redrawing. In v.2.6 it was not so visibly
We'll take a look.
Not all lists are handled the same way.
Does it happen on Tasks? Documents?

4. Sometimes script errors pop up.
Please do report them on the issue tracking system:
http://www.fengoffice.com/web/bugs/

5. Deleting users.
You have two options here:
a) Inactivating ("disabling"... but I want to change this word  ) the user (that is basically what you suggest: associate to a "skeleton account")
The user will not be able to log-in, work, nor be assigned to tasks, nor subscribed to objects.
It simply stays in the DB for reference - so that we know who created her documents, made those comments, etc.

If something I state here is not working, please do report on the issue tracking system, as it means there is a bug.

Sorry something there didn't work - and that you had to resort to a workaround (sounds like an ingenious one too).

b) Remove all the information the user had created - then delete.
This is only useful for recently created users (created 'by mistake').
But - this one completely deletes the user.
We were just chatting with the team about this feature last Friday: we will make this deletion immediate (currently it is sending the user to the trash can... but this is causing trouble).

And yes, "seems" is definitely the keyword.  User management in Feng Office (due to the multi-dimension management and granular permissions settings), is a complex matter.

Otherwise, very happy with the product and wouldn't trade it for the world.

Wow! Thanks for those words. That is nice to know!

Feng Office 3 / Feng Office 3.0: Getting the word out

« on: December 22, 2014, 12:39:09 pm »

If you've followed Feng Office for a while you'll know that one of the skills at which we don't excel (to put it mildly  ) is marketing.

But now that Feng Office 3.0 is out, we would love to get help spreading the word.

This is by far (in our opinion, of course) the best Feng Office ever. So we want people to learn about it and check it out.

We have crafted a Press Release. While I feel it might be a little "pompous", I do believe that we need to start being more vocal and reflectin our pride in our communication.

So here it is. If you have any suggestions and comments to improve it, and would like to provide somme help in spreading the word for Feng Office (be it in the distribution of the PR, or by other means), please contact us. You can leave a message here or PM me.

New Feng Office disrupts the Project Management and Collaboration space, again
Austin, TX – December 22, 2014 -­‐ Feng Corp., developer of the popular solution for project management and collaboration platform Feng Office, announced today its third major release in its 7 years history. Feng Office 3.0 introduces a whole new experience for its users, establishing Feng Office as the most robust platform for collaborative and professional project management and business operations.

Conrado Viña, CEO of Feng Office, said, “While the Feng Office 2.X series had reached a high maturity level, and our clients advocate the significant productivity and efficiency gains enabled by our solutions, we knew there was room for improvement. We had three goals with Feng Office 3.0: First was the enhancement of the user experience, smoothing the learning curve being the main focus. Second was the completion of the ambitious ‘dimension-­‐based’ architecture that was introduced with Feng Office 2.0. Last, we wanted to lay the foundation for positioning Feng Office as the standard for professional project and business processes management”.

Francisco Ponce de León, Senior VP, said, “We couldn’t be more excited. Feng Office 3.0 is the culmination of years of research and development, gathering the feedback of literally tens of thousands of users. From a business perspective, the new experience will definitely impact our initial engagement rates. My personal favorites are the powerful productivity features like templates, automatic processes, and automatic classification of e-­‐mails for relationship management and collaborative purposes.”

Andrew Kauffman, CTO, said, “The team is extremely proud. This is the system that we always intended, and it took years to get to this point. We are pioneers in utilizing the dimensions concept outside of OLAP and Datawarehousing, which posed many challenges to our architecture and development process.”

The ‘dimensions’ concept utilized by Feng Office is unique among Collaboration Platforms and enhances the flexibility of the information structure, allowing all types of business and public organizations’ CIOs to build a collaborative platform that reflects their own information schemas and classification. Balancing this powerful extensibility with the increasing market demands for ease of use has been a big challenge for the Feng Office team but, judging from their confidence and customer feedback, one that successful organizations fully embrace in anticipation of the changing needs that result from business growth.

About Feng Corp.: Feng Corp. (aka Feng Office) is the developer of the Feng Office suite of software systems integrating functions for team collaboration, organization, projects, clients, processes and document management.
Founded in 2007, Feng Office develops and provides support for its three Feng Office suites: Community, Professional, and Enterprise Edition. Over 3 million people use Feng Office systems worldwide. Feng Office has local offices in the USA, Netherlands, and Uruguay, with heavy expansion plans for 2015."

Thanks!

Announcements / Feng Office 3.0 - or the beginning of a new era.

« on: December 18, 2014, 07:18:35 pm »

Feng Office 3.0 is out.

What can we say? After over 2 years of work, we can't believe it.

So thank you!

 

While the Feng Office 2.X series had reached a high maturity level, you (our users, our clients) have showed us great support, and have expressed your satisfaction with the feature set, productivity and efficiency gains, and overall experience, we knew there was room for improvement.

We had three goals with Feng Office 3.0:

• First was the enhancement of the user experience, smoothing the learning curve being the main focus.
• Second was the completion of the ambitious ‘dimension-based’ architecture that was introduced with Feng Office 2.0.
• Last, we wanted to lay the foundation for positioning Feng Office as the standard for professional project and business processes management

And while we don't feel Feng Office 3.0 is the culmination of all this hard work (there is a lot more to be done) this is, by far, our proudest moment.

Thanks again, everyone, for your support and your patience.

We hope you like it us much as we do.
