Tempo Updates: Tagging, Status, UI tweaks

Last night I pushed a couple of updates out to our Tempo time tracking service that were a touch over-due:

• Tweaked date field on time entry to fix text-obscuring problem
• Tweaked order receipt for providing copies of past invoices
• Improved navigation and visibility for Team → Status
• Fixed display margins in module boxes site-wide
• Adds a “add new user” link in project team settings for convenience
• Allows meta-characters in tags, no longer restricted to [A-z0-9-_]

The tags thing was getting annoying, I will admit. It’s pretty useful to be able to, for instance, begin certain tags with a * character to mark them as project defaults.

The Team Status thing was a visibility issue. I think most administrators and managers of Tempo accounts were unaware that in addition to the basic Team view (a simple list of your users), there’s a Status view indicating who is working on what:

Aaaaand it even has a handy mobile view that you could bookmark:
