July 2008 Release

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

We are introducing two major improvements in this month’s release, one being our redesigned workspace and the other is the optimization of our grid. We have also added two new ecommerce remote data packs.

Redesigned Workspace

You’ve probably noticed your EditGrid workspace looks different today. The revamped workspace offers three improvements, the use of AJAX, a left sidebar and a filter function. Our goal is to offer a workspace where users can get what they need effortlessly and efficiently.

  • AJAX dialog windows
    By using AJAX in our workspace, we have introduced a faster and smoother interface to our workspace. Instead of loading new pages for each action, i.e. edit tag, edit note, upload, sharing, etc., like the previous workspace, all these actions are now done on the fly and changes will be reflected immediately in the book list.
  • Left sidebar
    The addition of the left sidebar improves file browsing capabilities. In addition to the standard All/Active/Archived spreadsheet views, a tag-list and owner-list view (sorted alphabetically) can also be found. If you have tagged a keyword with your spreadsheets, you can locate it quickly by clicking on the tag. Likewise, if you are working with your collaborators, you can access the those spreadsheets by clicking on the owner in the owner-list.
  • Filter function
    The filter function is perfect for locating any spreadsheet in your workspace. If you know the name of the spreadsheet or partial name of the spreadsheet you need access to, type it in the filter box and will display matching results in the books list.

Optimized Grid

In the past, we have gotten feedback from our users telling us the performance of EditGrid is on the slow side. In this release, we have made performance improvements to the grid and you’ll experience a faster response time when performing the following actions:

  • Opening smaller sized sheets
  • Resizing columns/rows of any size
  • Navigating between sheets
  • Resizing browser window
  • Scrolling (most significant in IE6 and noticeable in FF2, IE7)
  • Cursor movements

New Remote Data Packs

We have added two new remote data packs, Amazon and eBay. Now you have access to ecommerce data to further enhance your EditGrid spreadsheets. Both Amazon and eBay data packs will allow you to search for products by keywords and gather detail product information you are looking for, all within your spreadsheet.

We’ve used more AJAX to handle the actions which means we have eliminated a number of page loads necessary in previous workspace, saving you time. There is a new tags-list and owners-list that allows for much easier locate your book by tags or owner. And the addition of a filter function will let you find your books quickly by spreadsheet names
