User Management and Email updates
It has been quite a while since we last updated our user
management system. The routing logic of
adding users was definitely not the most efficient set up possible. Ron Spicer of Affton Schools in Missouri mentioned that
it was cumbersome to add multiple users and that it would be handy to have a
default domain for email addresses to minimize typos. We changed the routing so that when you add a new user, it
doesn't redirect to another screen but allows you to add another user (I'm not
sure why it did that in the first place to be honest, I think it was just put
in incorrectly in an update). We also
added a cancel button to start over when entering a new user.
On the email addresses, we also made a change. Each organization can now set up a default
email domain. To set this up, click on
Manage Default Domain in the add user screen.
Simply enter your email domain (ex. bluechalksoftware.com or
bluechalk.k12.mo.us) and click submit.
Now when you enter a new user, the domain name is built in. There is a field for the email username and a
field for the email domain. You can
over-ride the default domain name simply by typing the desired domain.
Also, in regards to email, within the next month, all emails
from our work order systems will be sent from technology@bluechalkapps.com or building@bluechalkapps.com. The technology and building work order systems
send out a large number of emails and allowing the system to attempt to send
these notices from the technology or building administrators' addresses was
causing delays and IP blocking. We're
sorry for the inconvenience and hope to have this implemented soon. Just a quick heads up so your users will know
not to delete or block emails from those addresses.
