We have completed our maintenance and expansion work on the iPROT servers as announced and planned. iPROT has been fully available again since this morning (somewhat earlier than planned).

The new iPROT version 4.5 has gone online at the same time as our new, even more powerful server infrastructure! And this brings an export function for unfinished tasks in Markdown format and iCal format (e.g. for Microsoft Outlook), as well as revised filter functions. We have also tinkered beneath the surface and once again eliminated a few minor errors.

Export of uncompleted tasks

Task management is one of the core functions in every protocol and therefore also in iPROT. Previously, personalized task lists could be created with the search function and distributed as PDF files. In addition, with the new version 4.5 it is now possible to export your own unfinished tasks from all projects and logs from iPROT. You can choose between Markdown format and iCal format. The latter can then be imported into Microsoft Outlook or Apple Calendar as calendar appointments, for example. Both formats contain a link to the topic in the protocol so that you can quickly access a more detailed description of the task in iPROT.

The task export only works for the logged-in user and only in one direction, i.e. from iPROT and then, if desired, by importing into another application. If you then move or delete an appointment exported from iPROT in Microsoft Outlook or Apple Calendar, for example, this has no effect on the data in your iPROT account.

New icon for sorting & new filter function for chapters

iPROT has always had sorting functions with which topics and entries can be sorted either in ascending or descending order. The sorting order is based on the age of a topic or entry – i.e. the date on which the topic or entry was created. This sorting function has now been given a new icon.

And if you have activated the chapter structure in your log, a new filter function now appears in the topic column to the right, which allows you to expand or collapse the entire chapter structure with a single click.

Finally, a tip: If you experience display problems with the new version 4.5, or if controls and buttons are missing, simply reload iPROT in the browser by holding down the Shift key.
