Fixed Image Layouts

Our latest update ensures you gain complete control over your Pinboard layouts. Images stay put, aligned as you wish, with no unnecessary movements. Tailor your design space with precision and ease.

Web Clipper Scraper

Collecting images just became effortless. Our Web Clipper now pulls all images from a page directly into your Pinboard and Image Library. Select, tag, and add – streamlining your creative process.

Hyperlinked URLs

Navigating back to the origin of your images has always been challenging. Knowing how important it is to have links to original sources, we’ve released a feature to attach hyperlinked URLs to each image. Whether migrating your pinboard to a schedule or the product library, these hyperlinked URLs facilitate seamless navigation and origin access.

Improved Notes Visibility in Presentation Mode

You can elevate your client presentations with our refined approach to notes visibility. Based on user input, we have optimised Pinboards to display notes directly beneath each image during presentations. This advancement eradicates clients’ need to delve into individual images, promoting more efficient communication and impressing clients with visually comprehensible explanations.

CLIENT DASHBOARD: PINBOARD INTEGRATION

Pinboards & Client Dashboard Integration

Championing the notion of a unified hub for project data, we have integrated Pinboards into the Client Dashboard. This allows clients to access all associated Pinboards from a single, centralised link, eliminating the need for multiple tabs or windows. Our commitment to centralisation fosters seamless collaboration and provides a unified source of truth for all project-related Pinboards.

Direct Image Import from the Product Library

A more effortless workflow awaits with our direct image import feature. Recognising the need to facilitate a smoother design process, we’ve enabled directly importing images from your Product Library onto your Pinboards. With the redundancy of switching between tabs or applications a thing of the past, your focus can remain where it should be – crafting visually captivating Pinboards.

Stay tuned as we strive to innovate and evolve our platform per your requirements. We sincerely appreciate your trust in our partnership and wish you an enriching pinboarding experience. Delve in, explore, and let your creativity blossom with Programa’s Pinboards.
