More updates to Kahu! This time, some big stuff:
Lists of bookings and tickets
We’ve added two new pages for administrators, a global list of bookings and a global list of tickets, to help you search through your data and make bulk changes.
Update multiple records at once
We’ve added extra tools to help administrators perform routine operations on large numbers of records.
We’ve added check boxes next to each row on the lists of of bookings, tickets, people and resources. We’ve also added a With selected… combo box to the top of the reports, allowing you to perform routine actions on all selected items.
New online manual
We’ve started creating help pages for Kahu! Click the “Help” link in the top right of any page to open the manual in a new window.
We’re still working on the content. Our initial focus has been on documenting the new administrative tools, although we will expand the help to include all areas of Kahu.
Upload resources, people and bookings to Kahu
We’ve started to roll out tools to make it easier for administrators to get data into Kahu. The new Upload people, Upload resources, and Upload bookings pages let you upload CSV files of data extracted from other sources such as your MIS. It’s quick and easy, and there are instructions and template files to get you going.
See the help pages for more information.
Kahu development blog
These news posts are now part of a new Kahu development blog, so you don’t have to be logged into Kahu to see the new features we’re adding.
Miscellaneous improvements
We’ve made a number of changes to improve the look and feel of the site, including a redesigned pager and search field on all reports. We’ve also changed the behaviour of the Raise ticket and Edit ticket dialogs to streamline the process of adding and editing comments.
As ever, you can expect to see more updates in the coming weeks. Watch this space!
