Since I almost always work in PP, I always have a PP web site open. But when I open a document from the new quick service (most recent documents eg) or from a link, it will open a new browser window. It can be inferred that I have four or five different PP windows open .. really stupid, I think! I want it open in the PP window that I already work in.
Eftersom jag i stort sett jobbar hela tiden i projektplatsen så har jag alltid ett webbfönster med projektplatsen öppen. Men när jag ska öppna ett dokument från den nya snabbfunktionen (senaste dokument t ex) eller från en länk så öppnas ett nytt webbfönster. Det kan sluta med att jag har fyra, fem olika projektplatsfönster öppna.. jättedumt tycker jag! Jag vill att det öppnas i det projektplatsfönstret som jag redan jobbar i.

Hi Åsa,
Thanks for a really interesting post. It is always hard to know which way to go with new windows/ instances. We basically have 4 different option here and if I tell you why we decided to implement it the way we did, maybe you and other users could give us feedback on which option you like the most
1. We could open, like you suggest, in the tab that is already open.
-The problem here is that if there is information that you have entered in that window already and not saved, the information will be lost. This could, for example, happen in the time reporting window.
2. We could open a new tab in the webbrowser.
-This is how we originally had implemented the Powertab but we re-designed after negative feedback about this from beta testers.
3. We could open a new tab in the Projectplace web browser, if you have that open, but open a new window if you are not using the Projectplace web browser.
-In this case we would check that you don't have any other sites open in the browser and react accordingly. You would get all your Projectplace tabs in one window and other sites in other windows. This is a new idea we have but it might be similar to no 2
4. We could open in a new window.
It would be really nice to hear what you and other users think about this!
Thanks,
Karolina

Hej Karolina,
Jag är inte säker på att jag förstår skillnaden i förslag 2 och 3 men antar att förslag 3 är mer likt 1... om man inte har någon osparad post?
Jag skulle absolut föredra det. Ev att jag får en varning att jag har osparade poster och en fråga om jag vill gå vidare eller inte.

Förslag 3 verkar väl mest vettigt om jag nu tolkat förklaringen rätt. Det är ytterligt irriterande med en hel mängd öppna PP-fönster!

Thanks Irina,
Always useful with another person's view on this. I would like to see a lot more comments to ensure that what we actually do is something that will benefit a maximum number of users.
Best regards,
Karolina
