Hi all!

First of all, we would like to wish you a Happy New Year! The first week of 2012 starts for ActivityInfo with a new release today, ActivityInfo 2.5 with several new features and updates. Secondly, the new website went online today, providing more information on how to use ActivityInfo. To directly login, use button “Login” in the upper right corner of the screen. To get you jumpstarted in the new version 2.5, hereby a quick overview of a few of the extra features online today:

Charts: Easily create piecharts, diagrammes and line graphs from your databases. Step-by-step guide

Attaching Documents: Upon entering new intervention sites as well as to older interventions, one can add attachments to the interventions, for example a document or picture. Step-by-step guide

Choosing Locations: When adding a new activity site, you now have the chance to select an existing school or village, allowing you and fellow cluster members to link several activities to a single school or village. This makes it possible to track assistance from a multi-sectoral perspective. Step-by-step guide

Cartography: The mapping section has been updated in an earlier release, but if you have missed it:

It is now possible to use different base maps (for example: health zones, administrative zones as well as different google maps, TIP: check google terrain maps in detail for elevation levels!), and add as many information layers as needed. One can display information of ones indicators in icons, piecharts or proportional circles. The created maps can be exported to powerpoint, pdf, as image or in word, to be used for example in reports or presentations. Step-by-step guide

Offline mode: Offline mode improved in an earlier release, but if you have missed this one too: It is possible to work online or offline when connections are not available and synchronize whenever a connection becomes available. Step-by-step guide

With kind regards,

the ActivityInfo team at bedatadriven!
