Seamless Catering Task Management: Centralized planning, ordering, tracking, and management of catering services for streamlined operations. Enhanced Efficiency and Organization: Improved user experience through a focused module on Catering Management, enhancing overall efficiency and organization for catering-related activities. Reservation Services 2.0 promises to elevate the user experience by providing a more integrated and efficient approach to managing reservations and catering services. Space Reservation Improvements Resource Lock   A temporary lock feature to streamline resource bookings, preventing double-bookings by securing a resource for a set period while the employee is actively making the reservation. The resource lock activates upon resource or time selection and remains in effect for a configurable duration, ensuring others cannot book the same resource simultaneously. If the employee becomes inactive, or does not complete the reservation within the duration, the lock lifts automatically, making the resource available again.

This can be fixed by uploading a PNG image with transparency levels managed by the user from the source file. Animations (transitions) are automatically disabled if a playlist channel contains videos and a Weather card with background video, on BrightSign, LG, & SSSP Tizen devices, to enable smooth video to video playback. v 1.0Release Date: 6 Nov 2019Introducing the Weather card that allows users to display a 5-day weather forecast of the current location.The following customizations are available on the Weather card:Configure the temperature unit in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Key improvements include:   Modern Modal Presentation: The Sharebox now opens as a modal window, rather than a dropdown, providing a more focused and engaging experience with smooth animations. UI Text Consistency: We’ve refined all user interface text, including buttons, placeholders, error messages, and aria-labels, to ensure a consistent and clear experience. “Post to” Placement: The “Share with” option has been renamed to “Post to” and moved to the top of the Sharebox, making the preferred community to be the first selection for users on this journey. Contextual Default Messages: Default messages have been updated to be more contextually relevant, changing based on the activity type. Enhanced Rich Text & Hyperlinks: You can now add richer context and direct links to your activities, making communication more effective and engaging. Polls: We’ve streamlined the number of options available for polls, reducing them from 15 to a maximum of 6. This simplification provides a more focused and efficient polling experience, encouraging clearer and more decisive responses. We retained the single and multiple choice options. Tagging & Settings: A new settings section allows you to organize and categorize your posts with tags, laying the foundation for future advanced features.

With the latest update, adding custom cards to the platform has become a breeze for Editorial Managers. These cards come with predefined layouts that perfectly match our design style, ensuring seamless integration. Offering a range of options, such as banners, lists, and event listings, these cards enhance the user experience. Users can enjoy a more tailored and engaging newsfeed with the flexibility to display up to 10 cards. The new discovery cards only apply to the 3 columns layout. Productize Intranet Branding Customizations By 2024, Appspace is modernizing its intranet to enhance efficiency and innovation using the React.js package and a single-page application (SPA) strategy. While encouraging out-of-the-box use, Appspace acknowledges the need for modifications to meet specific business requirements. Consequently, Appspace will end support for previous free modifications and focus on the Feed Translator this quarter. The feed translation tool will be rolled out in two phases, allowing users to easily translate community postings from the ellipsis button.   In Cygnus, we are adding translation customizations for the following activity types: Post (Update) Praises Poll Share Future releases will add support for: Questions Events Blogs Wikis The translate option is available in the following feeds: Start page Communities Profile   Editorial Experience Unification This release introduces an array of updates aimed at optimizing community engagement through Community Wikis, Standalone Wikis, Community Questions, Corporate Sites Questions, and Community Ideas. Improvements: Streamlined Content Creation: Appspace has revamped content creation and editing features across Intranet platforms. Enhancements include updates to stories, pages, community blogs, wikis, and questions, aligning with Microsoft’s phase-out of SharePoint add-ins and the classic SharePoint editor. Unified Editorial Experience: By unifying the editorial experience, users can expect a more intuitive platform, streamlining the editorial process and boosting efficiency. This results in faster and smoother content creation and management. Cygnus Updates: Community and Standalone Wikis: Both Community and Standalone Wikis now feature the new Cygnus editor experience, replacing the classic SharePoint editor. Community and Corporate Sites Questions: Similarly, Community and Corporate Sites Questions now incorporate the updated Cygnus editor experience, replacing the classic SharePoint editor. Deprecated Features: Community Ideas: In this release, we have deprecated the Community Ideas feature. New installations will no longer support the Ideas feature, as it has been completely disabled. For existing installations, the Ideas feature remains in its current state, whether enabled or disabled. However, users will no longer be able to create or edit ideas. Despite these changes, interactive functionalities such as commenting, championing, deleting, highlighting, and bookmarking ideas remain intact. Essentially, all interactions with community ideas are permitted, except for editing them. Responsiveness Improvements This enhancement ensures enhanced accessibility and user-friendliness on smaller screens, effectively addressing the requirements of on-the-go users who heavily depend on their mobile devices for browsing and interacting with content. With this upgrade, users are empowered to: Reorder favorite apps Edit Stories or Pages through the display of the edit link in detail Add a favorite app via drag and drop functionality Change profile pictures Incorporate personal quick links, facilitating their opening in a new tab Prevent inadvertent redirection to Settings, thus streamlining the user experience. Remove Tags Counter Inconsistency in the Tags counter has been a concern, as the counter displayed a number that did not correspond to the actual returned results, causing confusion and misunderstanding. To resolve this issue, we have removed the counter altogether. In this release, we have also introduced an enhancement to tag interactions. Here’s a summary of the improvements we’ve made: Users hovering their mouse over a tag will now see the tooltip “Show results for this tag.” Ensures consistency between the tooltip information and the action of clicking “View more tags for this activity.” These updates are part of our ongoing effort to improve user experience and interface reliability. Language Picker for Pages A new enhancement has been implemented on the page, granting users the ability to select their preferred language. When a page offers content in multiple languages, a language picker feature has been integrated into the user interface (UI), enabling users to select the language in which they wish to view the content. Additionally, when multiple languages are available, the original language is indicated, allowing users to opt for the original content should they prefer. App Store Categories A minor enhancement for editorial managers and admins involves adding a “View More” button and a scroll bar to display all categories in the App Store widget, configured by admins or editorial managers in the editorial settings. This ensures greater consistency and more comprehensive category visibility on the Intranet UI.   Customer IssuesBZP-19081 – Deleting a community results in a “Request too large” error due to Base64 encoded image data in the community’s JSON file.
