Haruno Knowledge base

Reopening where you left off

When you start the Windows app again it opens the page you were on, with the open project, the selected tab or task, and your last chat. This page lists what comes back and what starts fresh.

  • Windows appAvailable

When you quit Haruno on Windows and open it again, it does not start from the top. It opens the page you were on, and puts you back in the project, tab or item you had open. You do not turn this on. It always happens.

What comes back

Where you wereWhat Haruno brings back
Any pageThat page: Chat, Files, History, Settings, a Portfolio page and so on.
ProjectsThe project you had open. If you were on the list of projects, you get the list.
A project's pageThe tab you were on and the source you had open. This is kept for the project you looked at last.
A company's page in the PortfolioIts tab, for the company you looked at last. Another company opens on Overview.
PortfolioCards or table, whichever you chose.
ScheduledThe task you had selected.
ChatYour last chat, and any message you had typed but not sent.

What starts fresh

Open boxes and dialogs, text typed into search boxes, filters and the sort order of lists all start fresh. A temporary chat is not reopened, because it was never kept.

Quiet fallbacks

Haruno does not show an error if something it wants to reopen is gone.

  • If the project you had open was removed or archived, you land on the list of projects.
  • If a tab you used on a company page no longer exists, the company opens on Overview.
  • If an automation you had selected on Scheduled is gone, the first one is selected.
Opening a company from a project

A project has no company page of its own. When you open a company from a project, Haruno remembers it as that project's open source, not as a separate page.

What to tell a customer

  • Quitting is safe. They come back to the same page.
  • If the app opens somewhere unexpected, the thing they had open was probably removed or archived.
  • Nothing is lost by closing the window: see Closing the app.
