First Major Update - Removal of the Action Panel
Tuesday, March 10th, 2009
It has been about a week since we launched JustRosters, and what a week it has been! We have made it with smiles on our faces and the first major revision of the logged in area rolled out.

After watching a few new users of the system build a roster, we quickly realised that those slow with a mouse were spending a lot of time clicking cells on the left, then having to track over the right ‘Action Panel’ to enter the shift times. The wider the screen the bigger the problem, we needed to head back to the drawing board.
The most logical thing to do was turn the Action Panel into a pop-up balloon which appeared next to whatever was clicked. We made the balloon repositionable, in case you needed to look at cells immediately to the right of the cell you were editing.
The initial re-coding did not take long, but updating the getting started screencast did! We are in the process of changing our front page demo screencast anyway, so it has been replaced with a screenshot tour for now. It will be interesting to see how that effects our conversion rate as clicking the front page demo was the first thing one in two of our visitors did!
I hope new and existing users of JustRosters like the new pop-up balloons as much as we do.
