Textburst updates

This post was written by on 22nd Mar 2010

Since putting the new version of Textburst version live in January we’ve done 7 additional updates.   These updates cover all the mediaburst and O2 branded products such as textburst and Online Text. Here’s a rundown of what we’ve done:

Shared Groups

Sub users can view and send to groups shared by their admin user.

Quicker Uploads

Contact uploads now only require the mobile column, all others are optional.

Outlook 2010 Compatibility

oms can now be used from Microsoft Outlook 2010.

Clearer Pricing

To make pricing clearer message prices are now displayed both with and without VAT.

Enhanced Merging

Merged messages correctly count the number of characters in fields, in a small number of situations a send failed if one contact had a much longer name than the others.

IE6 tweaks

No one loves Internet Explorer 6 but we can’t ignore it completely, O2 branded products now work much better in this (legacy) browser.

Summary Pie Charts

Sent messages now shows a little pie chart rather than a bar graph, this gave us space for the next feature…

Quick Resend

You can resend messages from the sent page.  Just click the icon next to the pie chart and it will fill in the contacts and message text for a new send.

Clearer Buttons

Disabled buttons are greyed out making it very clear they can’t be clicked – You’ll see this on the received page, the add to phonebook button is greyed out if they’re already a contact.

See Who you are sending to

When you reply to a contact we now show their name in the To box.

Improved Statistics

The send date and originator are now shown on the Send statistics page.

If you do have any feedback or suggestions then leave a comment or head over to our customer forum.
