Beam me up! (New release + Mac)

Hello again.

This week has some updates to make Worklog Assistant work nicely with enterprise ("Beam me up!") deployments. The main changes are:
  • Ability to restrict visible filters via an "admin" console
  • Fully scriptable deployment including license installation
See the release notes (which are more or less a link to the docs!)

WLA is almost Mac capable (just got the Mac yesterday!) so if you are willing to help test on the Mac, send me an email. Please specify your version of the operating system, Intel v. PPC, as well as any suggestions you may have that would make it more "Mac-like". Though I'm also told I have to yet make it "Windows-like" :-)

Right now I'm thinking I need the following:
  • Universal binary
  • App Bundle
Did I get it right?

Thanks and have a good week.

Update: Here is WLA running under Mac. Got my work cut out for me...

Hi Sohail,

I don't see how to restrict visible filters via an "admin" console on the latest version. Can you help??

Also, just wondering about any progress you've had with being able to support custom JIRA navigator columns. Specifically we use the Order plugin that allows us to specify the order in which employees do things.

Thanks!
Mark

Hi Mark,

The "admin" console is actually a separate program called the Configurator (imagine the Terminator saying it!). The Configurator requires an Enterprise license.

You can find the documentation for this program here:

http://worklogassistant.com/deploymentguide.html

You can download the program from here:

I had been having some issues with custom fields but I think most of them have been sorted. I hope they will be released in two week's time.

Let me know if this was helpful!
