“How do I add common expense items to a project?”

This has been a popular question lately with Studiometry user, and until now we had a few workarounds but no real solution. In Studiometry 7.x and older, if you wanted to add similar items to multiple projects you’d have to either (a) find the Debt/Credit and copy & paste it, or (b) have to go through the hassle of setting up a debt/credit category specifically for that item. Neither of these were great solutions.

For Studiometry 8.0, we’ve created a great new feature called Blueprints. Blueprints are basically template Debt/Credits that can … Continue Reading

On a related note, we are now announcing the free-upgrade-grace-period for Studiometry 8.0.

Basically any new Studiometry licenses purchased now will … Continue Reading

It’s that time of the year again when we start previewing the new features and advancements that we’re developing for the next big Studiometry update. Today I’ll go into detail about the upcoming Project Archiving features.

There are many Studiometry users that have literally tens of thousands of items in their database due to constant use over the course of several years. While Studiometry is both accommodating to and optimized for huge amounts of data, some users would still like to simply archive and forget about old jobs, work, invoices, and reports.

Right now the closest way of accomplishing this … Continue Reading

We’ve released another free update for registered Studiometry 7.x users: Studiometry 7.1.2. This version has quite a few updates and enhancements that have been requested by our users. A couple of notable changes:

• You can now have Studiometry automatically fix any duplicate client or project ID numbers. Previously, you would have to access the server and confirm that you wanted changes to be made. With the new setting, Studiometry can now immediately fix any updates it finds while periodically checking for duplicate ID numbers. To enable this setting, go to the Preferences Window > ID Numbering section and under Identical IDs … Continue Reading
  

We’ve had many users ask if there is any chance of Studiometry coming to the iPad in an “HD” or “for iPad” version. Here’s the good news: we’ve been working on Studiometry Touch for the iPad for a while now and we expect to release it to the app store soon.

Here are some details:

• Studiometry Touch will be a universal application, meaning that the same application can be run on an iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
• Your existing serial number can be used to sync Studiometry Touch with the iPad version, but the same limits remain of one device per serial number.
• You … Continue Reading
  

If you don’t often change locations or IP address when syncing from Studiometry Touch to Studiometry, you can enable to Auto-Sync feature to make the syncing much “quicker.” To do this, go to Studiometry Touch’s Settings > Network Settings section and turn on Auto-Connect.

When this is enabled, Studiometry Touch will automatically connect to the most recent server and take one step out of syncing with Studiometry. This means you just hit Sync and the syncing window will popup, sync, and then disappear without any user interaction required.

Studiometry Touch gives you a couple of ways to select an item from a list of items, such as Project Statuses. The first way you can select from a list while editing a Project is to tap on the row to “select” the row and bring up the selector view giving you all of the elements on the list.

This gives you quick and convenient way to flip through the available statuses and quickly select a status without having to go to a separate view. This works great until … Continue Reading
