Crisscott OnForce Client Desktop v2.0
I have been working on the next version of the Crisscott OnFoce Client Desktop (OFCD) lately. The previous version was not really anything special. It was a pretty ugly front end for the OnForce API version 1.0.6. The old version was limited in its features by the API and in its interface by, well, me. The new version will take advantage of all the bells and whistles available in the upcoming version of the OnForce API and will also be much more user friendly.
Version 2.0 of the OnForce API allows full control over all aspects of a work order and I have built that into version 2 of the OFCD. The new API also brings the notion of work order modules (or chunks of related data) and that too has bled over into the new OFCD. Different modules can be dropped into a work order one at a time, simplifying the creation process.
Unlike its predecessor, version 2 of the OFCD goes beyond just work order creation. It also allows you to manage your work orders by seeing all of your events for a given day, week or month. Version 2 can also alert you to changes in work orders such as acceptances, cancellations and completions. This will free you from having to actively check for updates. You are free to manage the rest of your business and wait for the OFCD to tell you when your attention is needed.
