Restart schedule if far behind. Is a feature?
complete
Amy E
At the Thanksgiving conference in DC, it was announced that the app would have a feature which lets the user restart a reading schedule as of the current day. I would expect such a feature to change my progress from "x days behind" to "on track." But I can't find such a feature. All I found that seemed like it would accomplish this was Edit Schedule. I went in to edit the schedule and saved with no changes. I was still beind. I went in to edit the schedule and clicked a few buttons then put them back where they were, just to wake up the app to something happening. I was still behind. I haven't been able to get the number of days behind to change without deleting the schedule and creating a new one.

We're happy to announce that this feature has been implemented in version 2 which is currently in beta testing. If you are interested in testing it out and report back your findings, please visit http://500lifestudies.org/beta to access the beta. Thanks!

The button in the top right hand corner when in the edit schedule screen, seen on the tutorial video, to bring the 'dots' to the current day instead of catching up is not present. I liked that feature and look forward to if it can be fixed. Thank you.
This may be the same issue as "restart schedule if far behind. Is a feature?" post? If so I look forward to the update.

DC I’m using beta v2 and when I “reset schedule” nothing changes - the tracker still shows I’m 2 weeks behind.

Jessie Liu did the calendar and edit progress refresh after you close and reopen the app? Also is this a v2 installation over existing v1 installation where you had an ongoing schedule? Please also share your device type, how you reset your schedule, and if possible screenshots of your schedule summary, Edit Progress, and Dashboard. You can email them to info@500lifestudies.org if you don't want to post them here. Thank you!

DC can reset schedule also work forwards? If you read extra one day, can the schedule set you back a few days to synchronize the filled dots with your current day? I did see empty dots fill to neutral, showing you had reset the schedule, but if someone read ahead or got back on the original track after a reset, can you reset again?
DC
Isaac Lin we were originally going to implement that for both behind and ahead schedules but I think technically we encountered some issues so only resetting "behind" schedules have been tested (you can try with ahead schedules and let us know what happens). We may implement resetting ahead schedules at a later time, especially if a lot of people are upvoting this feature.

DC it doesn’t do anything. I am 2 days ahead.

Isaac Lin thanks for confirming. We will need to review this for possible inclusion in a later release.

Hi Amy, the reset schedule feature has not yet been implemented. It is planned for a future version.
