Roundup Archives - Haulix Daily

Hey there, everyone! The weekend is only hours away at this point, and truth be told we are pretty excited to escape the office for a few days. This winter has been long and it has definitely taken a toll on attitudes across the country. We need the weekend to decompress, relax, and reconnect with the art that makes us feel alive. If we may suggest something new, we highly encourage you to give this new Taking Back Sunday song a bit of your time:

Each and every weekend we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you.

There are no new development updates this week, but our team is working hard to have some new platform releases out by next Friday. You see, following our recent client survey we essentially scrapped all current plans and focused on matching the needs, desires, and wants of those who have supported us. Our clients mean the world to us, and when we poured over their responses it became clear there is more we could be doing to improve the tools we already have in place. So, with that in mind, we have pushed new tools a few months while we make the current platform offerings as great as they can possibly be, and we’ll be sharing new advancements as they are released right here on this blog. You can also follow us on Twitter for additional updates.

Speaking of the blog, you may have noticed a huge upswing in the amount of content posted in recent days. I believe we posted at least twice every single day this week, including today, and I must tell you it feels good to be able to create at that rate. We owe a lot to our guest contributors, obviously, but it’s really starting to feel like we are reaching a new level in terms of content frequency and quality.

If you missed anything this week, here’s a quick rundown of all our recent posts:

Hey there, everyone. Welcome to our website. If you’re a regular visitor then you already know this week has been like any other. If you’re new, we’d like to thank you for giving us a shot. This post is meant to summarize our recent creative efforts, so it’s a bit different than the content we typically post. That said, there’s still a lot you can learn.

We do not have any development updates to share this week, but we did want to pass along a reminder about last week’s big reveal.

‘Public Promo Groups’ is our latest release. Here’s how it works:

Promo groups are containers used for organizing your promos on various screens that you and your coworkers view.

Every one of your contacts has a “My Promos” screen where Haulix compiles all promos from all senders who sent an invitation to that contact.

You can now control how your promos are organized on that screen by making one or more of your promo groups “public.”

From your Promos screen, click on the Groups button. Checking the Public checkbox will make the respective group appear on your contacts’ My Promos screens.

This feature is only a visual enhancement. All permissions that you previously established work the same way.

The promo order you establish in the group (drag n’ drop) on your Promos screen will get mirrored on the contact’s My Promos screen.

As for the blog, I think it’s safe to say this has been our slowest week to date. There is good reason however, and that is the launch of our ‘Haulix Live’ 2015 tour. Ferris State University welcomed staff member James Shotwell to their campus this week, and while he was on site James’ time online was extremely limited. He had a blast though, and the students he met were incredibly excited to discuss the state of our industry today. We’ll next be at Launch Conference in April, and we’re hoping to see more schools not long after that!

We did still manage to get some great content out this week, even if our quantity dipped. Here’s everything you missed:
