New feature: Sections

As time goes on your Contact and Project Blog pages can get pretty busy.  Our mantra is to use these pages as if you were conveying an important story i.e. give some thought to how information is presented just as if you were speaking to someone – important information first etc.  Today we added a cool and useful new feature to help organize your pages into “Sections”.

Place a Section anywhere on the page and all the activities that follow it are automatically related to that section.  Sections can be collapsed (hiding all the following activities), then expanded (showing all the following activities).  You can still drag and drop individual activities to position them anywhere on the page (and from section to section), but now you can also drag a section to a new position on the page and all of the activities following it are moved too. 

Our team uses Sections to manage our Solve360 development work-flow like this:

Upcoming Normally collapsed, used by Project Managers to refine the work that is coming up.

Current Always expanded, used by the entire team to complete their day-to-day work.

Archive Always collapsed all activities that are no longer front-of-mind, completed task-lists, specifications etc that we will refer to in the future to celebrate our battles.

This is GREAT - it makes the Blog/project feature truly robust. 

I am betting that you (we?) are going to need more storage space.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This cleans up a well used Project Blog nicely and makes them all that more appealing to use.  Well done guys!

this is working out fantastic for us with sections for misc. background info, emails etc.

One crucial question - can we please have a “hide this whole section from external members?“ - that would pretty much make it complete in my mind.
