Announcing “Projects” : a way to group and filter meetings in Ketchup
One of the most requested features for Ketchup was a way to group, or tag meetings together.
It’s often really hard to get the balance just right for this kind of thing. Keeping with Ketchup’s philosophy of simplicity and effectiveness, I think we’ve come up with an elegant solution that adds just enough power to the app, without impinging on the cleanliness of the interface.
Project support starts when you’re creating a meeting. You can now type a “Project” for your meeting:
When you’ve added a few projects, when you click the project field, you’ll notice that your other projects appear inline for quick selection using the mouse or the up and down arrow keys.
If you type the first few letters of a project and hit the tab key, it will select from your current projects. Fast, simple.
When you save your meeting, other meetings in that project appear in the sidebar:
A meeting’s project also appears on the meetings index page:
Finally, to switch between projects, use the project selector:
This has been a really fun feature to implement, and I hope you like it. I’m really excited about being able to add such powerful, useful features, without compromising the core values behind the app.
