Two updates to NextComp

We just pushed two new updates to the server.

The first update allows you to configure the My Jobs table with all of the survey fields on the new 2007 survey data template. Check out the My Jobs table configuration tool for a listing of all the new fields. Try creating a new configuration to see the field names.

The second update fixes a few issues with the Linked Jobs tool. The fix address issues with updating the Linked jobs when changes are made to the Master job. The fix also allows you to clean up any unsynchronized matches in your Master and Linked jobs. Just refresh the results table for the pay plan to get everything cleaned up. You can read about updating the results table in the Online Help page.

Happy Holidays!

Thanks - The NextComp Team

3 Day Blackout

We're back up and running after three days without power. A tremendous wind storm hit the Northwest after record rainfall in November. The combination of water soaked ground and high winds resulted in over 1 million people being left without power for more than two days. Some parts of the area will be without power for several more days.

Our office was hit by the power outage resulting in the servers being down on Friday and over the weekend. We've planned to move the servers to a data center after the first of the year and this event has accelerated our plans. We apologize for the down time. It's been a difficult three days, but we have power, phones, and internet connectivity again, so things are back to normal.


The local grocery store was running on generator power over the weekend.
