vikpaw Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 I'd have expected alpha testers to get an invite!
Edu-IT Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Just had mine come through now. First thought, logging in takes ages? Edited October 9, 2014 by Edu-IT
teejay Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Got the test invite, but... Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error Description: An exception occurred while processing your request. Additionally, another exception occurred while executing the custom error page for the first exception. The request has been terminated.

CAM Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Logging in wasn't too slow but it has suddenly started crawling along. All the curious data managers on test hardware I guess. Also check your inboxes, it's live now and your E-Mail may have come through. I'm not going to post the link unless @PhilNeal wants it here. Also, uploadable avatars at last!

Edu-IT Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Is it running on live hardware, or test hardware? As in, will it eventually speed up?
PhilNeal Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 We do have speed issues which we are trying to resolve. We need to upgrade Dynamics to eliminate a known bug as the culprit.
bossman Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Got mine and working to a certain degree if not a little slow
vikpaw Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 ... Also, uploadable avatars at last! Do you think they're copying EG? Apart from the slowness of course
Seb1780 Posted October 10, 2014 Posted October 10, 2014 anyone got any screenshots? I went to get some for you only to find:- Dear Colleagues Thank you for logging onto the portal, we are delighted with the high volume of users that have looked at the new system and the useful feedback we have received. In order to action some of this feedback we have taken the Beta Portal out of service while some immediate enhancements are being made. A notification will be posted on SupportNet when the Beta is once again available. Kind regards Steve Russell IT Director One step forwards.........
vikpaw Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 I finally found the link in the updated SupportNet article. Even then the link to the link wasn't obvious in Chrome!
vikpaw Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 Out of interest, has anyone else had problems with the old supportnet and the solution search? Since the day before the beta came out, the dropdown for software suite doesn't populate and a search without it gives an application error. I thought it was just me, but it's still happening.
zag Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 solution search is still working for me on the old site. 1
bossman Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 @vikpaw: Same old same old here! Software suite has SIMS and SIMS.NET in the dropdown menu plus the menu below is populated with all the usual No change 1
vikpaw Posted October 13, 2014 Author Posted October 13, 2014 ah, okay, then i have a cookie / cached page issue methinks.
vikpaw Posted October 24, 2014 Author Posted October 24, 2014 Apparently there was an error in the mailing list created for Beta phase which was why I didn't get notified, so it may have affected others as well. I don't know if it's linked, but the above issue of not being able to search solutions seems to be because we're not on their list of supported customers! : Sorry !

vikpaw Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 My Account Beta - was opened up to alpha testers as of an email sent on Thurs 29th Jan. I've only just had a look, it's pretty swish now, and seems to work well so far. It will be opened up to the beta testing group early next week, so keep an eye out on your emails.
Sylv3r Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I had a nosey of it around 6 weeks ago at the SIMS Partnership Schools conference - really liked it and fedback some changes I would have liked to have seen. The existing supportnet is due a refresh so look forward to seeing the latest release.
