Hello, I have been using Idoceo since June last year, it is a very helpful app.

With the new update, is there a way to add a small photo directly into a cell, so that a thumbnail appears in the cell? And when you double tap it (as you would do to edit and enter text) the image expands? This would be a fantastic feature to add as it would allow us teachers to have a quicker acces to images of students work attached to the trackers. Currently you have to add the photo and the only indication that there is a file attached either notes or an image is a small triangle in the corner. What I am after is the actual image displayed in a smaller format in the cell.
I have attached a photo of the triangles mentioned here.




Secondly, there are times when you want to see the whole of the comment that you enter into the cell for a particular child, or in the case of reports or comments. I know you can adjust the width (although you have removed the live view adjust fuction in this latest version, and now I have to guess to get the column the right width, and it often takes several attempts, where as it didn't before) of the columns, but is there a way for it to auto adjust or wrap text to fit, or even shrink text to a cell? All of which are common functions in MS office and ones that are used by a lot of people.

Many thanks in advance for you help on this.

Hello PMessingham,

I'm not sure if you have disabled this option here: iDoceo's main screen > Gear icon > Options (Gradebook) > Show annotations on selection.
It should look like this



We could not show thumbnails on cells until now because we had to keep iDoceo compatible with older devices with less memory available. We will keep working on that.

auto adjust or wrap text to fit, or even shrink text to a cell?

This one is somewhat related to the previous one as well, it has to do with hardware compatibility. We will be able to work on that if this version 4 proves successful!
