Notes on Orbital v0.2.1

A few notes on some of the new features in the latest version of Orbital: these were presented to Dr Bingo Wing-Kuen Ling on 15 June 2012.

  1. ‘Your Projects’ now includes an Activity Timeline of comments and file changes aggregated across all projects in Orbital; each project page also displays a timeline for that project.

  2. Files from the File Archives can be organised using Collections (which are ‘tag-like’ rather than ‘folder-like’: i.e. a file can belong to more than one Collection).

  3. You can now edit project information and add new members to a Project. To do this, go to the Project within Orbital, click on the ‘edit’ button, and scroll down to Project Members.

  4. Finally, a bug which was preventing the upload of files using Internet Explorer has now been fixed.
