Help me see the exact date a change was made

By Igor Goldobin in Sharepoint Online (Office365) 0 Comment

Office 365 dates seem to be too simple. Audit data should be crystal clear (as detailed as possible).

I find audit history on Office365 to be lacking E.g. sswcom.sharepoint.com

It certainly is less useful than Sharepoint 2016 as dates were shown better.

I searched for a record on the 2 lists and here is what I see:

Office 365
Eg. sswcom.sharepoint.com show me last activity as Friday at 2:15 PM
SharePoint 2016
Eg. intranet.ssw.com.au show me last activity as Created at 9/03/2018 5:06 PM

I find it less useful as it doesn’t tell me the date it was created on. I would prefer to have something like “2 days ago at 2:15 PM (Friday 9/03/2018)”

PS: This is very simple to do with Moment.js

Add full-colour heads-up display (like Lexus LC 500)

By Adam Cogan in Tesla 0 Comment

BMW = yes
Mercedes = yes

This is a feature only the driver will see. In the Lexus the heads-up display (HUD) projects a range of essential navigation, safety and performance info directly on to the windshield in front of the driver — it almost looks like a hologram on your bonnet.

Figure: It would be nice to see it in the Tesla.

Data loss – don’t let me lose my text and screenshot

By Adam Cogan in iOS 0 Comment
  1. I take a screenshot and a small thumbnail appears on the bottom left
  2. Click it and open it
  3. I want to share it so I clicked the icon and choose mail
  4. Typed stuff (recipient, subject, content)
  5. Switch to another app (or let the phone lock) and it’s gone!
  6. There is no way to find it anywhere
    (I’d expect it in mail Drafts, but it’s not there)

Data loss!

Don’t use that screenshot feature until they fix the data loss.

The work-around it is to NOT action #3 (clicking the mail icon from the screenshot). You have to take the screenshot as normal, then copy it from your album into a new email draft.

Help me remember what to do with an email

I’m on a long flight right now traveling from the USA to Australia doing emails.  It would be great to have a feature that made you need to use Microsoft’s iOS app over the build it Apple mail app. I have one that would make me always use it!

I’m forgetful so when I get an email and think “I’ll call them back” or “I’ll add the to the VSTS backlog later” or “Speak to my girls at home” etc
I find I too often forget.

I’d love tags “To call”… “Add to backlog”… “My girls” etc.

Any +1’s on this? Or do you have a better system than your memory?
