I have many lists and many editors.

I have many lists and many editors. One editor has sharing permission on maybe 25% of the pages, and I want to let him share the rest.  There's no easy way to see what he's shared on and what he isn't. Am I safe just selecting all lists in List View, and adding him as a share to all? That will be a little illogical, since he's already sharing 25% of them. Am I safe to do this?

    Hello Jim, the answer is yes, you're safe to do it. The person will get notification that they get access to new lists only.

    Thanks.

    I did it, and the sharing changed the modification dates for all my lists to "today". So I can no longer see which lists have been worked on most recently.

    There is no reason for a sharing action to affect the modification date of a list.

    Sorry that this made a problem. Technically, list update timestamp was updated because there was an activity on the list (and changing list sharing information is considered an activity in Checkvist, as well as changing list options).

    This is a little bit crazy. Administrative changes like this should not affect update timestamp.

    I can imagine special circumstances where people might want this, but I'm sure it's not expected or desired behavior for most customers, who will naturally expect timestamp to update only for edits to actual list content.

    I agree with you, this is not expected for most customers. But, you're the first person who noticed this problem and wrote us about it. We might introduce an additional timestamp field which would update only if list items content changes, this makes perfect sense.

    I've added this request to Uservoice: http://checkvist.uservoice.com/forums/2121-general/suggestions/12294255-add-a-real-list-modification-timestamp-which-updat

    Thanks, Kirill. But if you agree this shouldn't be default behavior, why not remove this behavior rather than introduce the (significant) complexity of a second timestamp?

    Because we anyway need a timestamp which reflects any change related to the list data or its options or sharing settings, internally. Otherwise cache update mechanism might be broken.

    Ok, so the "second timestamp" you are considering adding would be the only timestamp from the user perspective? If so, that sounds great. If not, the complexity would a problem for us and for you, both!

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.

I'm really enjoy using checkvist, you are adding great features very quickly.  What I feel is missing is more use cases.  How are people using Checkvist?  What are some recommend workflows?  How many lists do you have? User Stories will not only help those of use already using Checkvist to be more effective, but attract more non-technical customers. I like to keep my lists at a minimum.  I only split out for sharing but I'd prefer not to. Here are my lists: * Inbox:  This is where zapier based integrations go.  I have Jira tickets and emails tagged with "!action" going to list which I process daily. * The List:  This is my primary list.  Everything is here.  I use sub-nodes for different areas. * Honey Do:  This is the list my wife and I share to make sure we know what we both want done around the house. * "Client Project" - I have a few Lists I share with clients (Free lance web developer). I"m looking to write a more detailed blog post. How are your l

Hello friends

Hello friends, We are considering to change behaviour of move up/down command using ctrl+arrows for lists with hierarchy. The new approach is available on our beta site, https://beta.checkvist.com . Could you please try it out and tell us what you think? Thanks! https://beta.checkvist.com

Hello friends!

Hello friends! I'd like to ask for your opinion regarding multi-line text editing. This suggestion comes from one of our Russian-speaking customers Dolina Zamkova so here is a translated abstract of our email conversation. Current problem: When you write multi-line text, you must press 'Shift-Enter' first, then use 'Enter' to start a new line, then 'Ctrl-Enter' to submit the text. Wouldn't it be easier to have a setting that will allow using Enter to always write multi-line texts, and always submit on 'Ctrl-Enter', like you do it in text messengers? So we could add a new account-wide setting, on the Settings page: () Finish editing by pressing 'Ctrl-Enter' (convenient for multi-line text) What do you think? Do you write multi-line texts in Checkvist at all? Other thoughts of how we could make it better? :)
