This guide is designed to give users who are familiar with our Classic (Flash) interface a quick rundown of the differences when you move over to using our Platinum interface. We also included a few brief tips on How To do common actions within the system.
Access Platinum from Classic
In many screens, such as the calendar or main project screen, we have added a "Want To Try Platinum" link in the top left corner. However, you can also add "/platinum" to the end of your normal access URL to access Platinum.
Example.

In Platinum, the same information is right there as well but laid out in a slightly different way. Task Management, with three options, Task Card, seen here, Grid View which is similar to the My Task Widget, and Tile View a new option that uses Kanban type cards and columns in conjunction with resource management tools. Time Entry, Notes/Reminders, Meetings, the Daily Feed from projects, and we brought the weather too.

Open new tab or window
CLASSIC
|
PLATINUM
|
In classic, the desktop utilizes the WMJ toolbar to manage multiple objects that are opened at the same time. For example, if you have a list of invoices on the screen you can double click the invoice line and open a new object on the toolbar that can be brought to the desktop by clicking on it.
|
In Platinum, the browser is utilized to manage multiple objects that are opened at the same time. For example, if you have a list of invoices on the screen you can CTRL + Left Click (PC) or COMMAND + Left Click (MAC) the invoice line to open a new object in a browser TAB that can be dragged and dropped onto the screen.
