| OPCM | Jun-06 | Custom fields can have a set of validated choices that are shown via a drop down list when entering information in the field, as opposed to just a fill-in entry. This helps to ensure the accuracy and consistency of entered data. | |

When an author publishes the nugget to the CellCast server, it simply awaits retrieval by users. A "push" type CellCast allows the admin to schedule a time to actually call the users and notify them that a CellCast is waiting and offering them the ability to access the CellCast right then. | |
| CellCast | Jan-07 | Added ability for Authors to record, upload and manage their own CellCast instruction set (e.g. "press 1 for this, press 2 for that") so that the instructions can be personalized as desired, rather than computer text-to-speech converted. | |
