Focusing on primary business needs, Daylite delivers a new generation of
business productivity management by providing both single user and multiple
user settings with timesaving features that include:
Shared Calendars and Meetings
- Daylite allows users to define dynamic calendars by specifying a
combination of users and categories, enabling business teams to create
overlaid calendars that meet their specific needs
- Users can setup meetings with colleagues, reserving resources and
receiving notification of meeting times or rescheduling, allowing team
members to better coordinate meetings
Delegation Capabilities
- Daylite 3.0 allows users to delegate activities to among other users
and notifies both parties upon completion of the assigned task
- The application also allows managers to track delegated activities
by creating activity smart lists, which eliminate the need for team
members to send status updates for assigned activities
Multiple Pipelining for Projects and Opportunities
- Users can track business opportunities and projects with fluid
pipelines, allowing users to define different workflow stages for each
pipeline
- Users gain valuable perspective on the projects to be completed and
opportunities to be cultivated with this improved feature
Mini Heads-Up Display (HUD)
- Daylite includes a mini HUD for each contact, organization, project,
opportunity, or group, effectively providing contextual mini browsers
- Daylite allows users to create their own HUD widgets using CSS and
HTML in order to leverage Daylite with external applications and expand
the application to match different users’ individual needs
Revised User Interface
- Daylite’s user interface has been reconfigured to allow users to
focus on productivity by using familiar concepts and tools. For example,
every major facet of Daylite includes both source lists and smart lists.
Users can define criteria that automatically update smart lists, saving
them time with often used queries and giving them new workflow
capabilities
- Users can now leverage Daylite’s lightning fast searching abilities
and link objects directly from the application’s Find panel in order to
view more information at once and complete tasks in less time
Built-in Report Writer
- Daylite’s new report writer offers access to all data in the user’s
database while simultaneously allowing users to create customizable
reports, envelopes, labels, and more using the application’s easy
drag-and-drop interface
- Users can mix smartlist criteria with raw SQL, basic scripting, and
mathematical expressions to generate PDF output that meets their
decision-making and business needs
