Good talks about bulk tools vs single tools. We always start with a single tool (doing things one-by-one) and build to a many and/or multi tool. The guys were also talking quite a bit about global settings, corp-wide settings, etc. They also were talking about how cause and effect play into the system and once we create and/or fix something, it almost always opens up the next question and/or idea. That is fun, but it can have teeth.

Lots of talks about basic and/or generic tools or being fully compliant for compliant reasons. We want to stay on the basic and general tool level. The user needs to hold the responsibility for real and full compliance (who holds the real liability). That ended up bringing up a discussion on settings and permissions. We are seeing global settings, corp-wide settings, group settings (12 main player groups), user settings, and lots of new page settings and/or corp-wide settings per page or section. We also talked briefly about where the settings would be (visual and location wise) and how to help distribute and show those options.

I was building out some new code to show that image/scans and other media/content files were being uploaded when submitted. Pushed up a number of files.

Alan showed me a deeper demo of his graphs and charts and being able to flip flop the charts between monthly, yearly, quarterly, daily, etc. Pretty cool. We also talked about moving the existing sub homepages (invoice homepage, PO homepage, deposit homepage, expense/receipt homepage) to new pages and renaming it as basic searches (as apposed to advanced searches). That way we still have access to those pages and their search functionality and display options. Good stuff.
