Windows Syncing Issues

A recent security update of Adobe AIR now requires that all communication be done over TLS security. Previously TLS, SSL 2.0, and SSL 3.0 were supported but, due to recent security concerns regarding SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0, they are no longer supported in Adobe Air. Unfortunately, some windows computers have TLS turned off by default and they are experiencing issues when they try and sync StudioCloud.

Instructions on how to resolve this issue are available in the following support article

http://app1.studiocloud.com/support/index.php?/article/AA-00747/0/How-to-Enable-TLS-for-Internet-Explorer.html

Please note, so far this change only seems to affect some users with the Windows operating system.

We are looking for some of you who would like to submit a StudioCloud testimonial for use on our website, advertising material, etc. If you would like to help us out send an email to cori.rae at studiocloud.com with your name, your business name, your website, and what you love about StudioCloud and/or how it has helped you in your business.

New Tag Updates


StudioCloud has expanded the tagging capability to now include event tags, invoice tags, project tags, and bookkeeping tags. With this new capability StudioCloud users can segment their StudioCloud information.

For example, if you have a photography studio that does portrait and wedding photography you can tag the invoices separately and run reports to see which one is doing financially better. Or, if you have a business that has two or three branches you can tag the invoices and bookkeeping separately to see how they are performing.

Please note the following limitations.
  • Unlike the client tags which supports having multiple tags events, invoices, projects, and bookkeeping can only be tagged once. 
  • To simplify the tagging process events, invoices, projects and bookkeeping will automatically default to the same tag as the client.
  • StudioCloud is still working on adding reports for event, invoices, projects, and bookkeeping tags. These will be available in a future update.
For a tutorial on how to add tags to events, invoices, projects, and bookkeeping click here.

PartnerBoost



StudioCloud is excited to announce the availability of its new add-on called PartnerBoost. PartnerBoost bridges the gap between the free single user version of StudioCloud and the paid for three StudioCloud users EmployeeBoost add-on. With PartnerBoost you get two StudioCloud users for $30 per month which allows two business partners to both be logged in and working simultaneously and to both be scheduled on the calendar simultaneously. A perfect fit for those businesses which need two people to have access to StudioCloud at the same time.

While the PartnerBoost does include two StudioCloud users it does not include the ability to add more StudioCloud users or the employee focused features such as virtual employees, security roles, time card tracking, etc.
