Didactic Release

Released 2020 May 25 (build 44.4.34)

Tasks improvements

All Users: Tasks users will notice the following key improvements:

• Files sub-view – provides easy, organized access to all attachments posted in a task’s timeline.
• Due date notification – an automatic red dot notification (no email) in the Main Navigation for all collaborators on the day a task is due. A reminder note will also be generated in the timeline of the task to move it to the top of everyone’s Tasks list (which are sorted by most recent activity).
• Description location – moved to the top of the task form for easier access and improved task clarity.

New name for Classifieds: Listings

The Classifieds view has been renamed Listings to better reflect the diverse purposes that orgs can use the view for (learn more). Orgs who have given this view a custom name will not have it changed, and orgs not currently using a custom name will have it remain that way, with "Classifieds" becoming their initial “custom name" for the view.

News: Reordering categories

News Editors: News categories can now be reordered using the drag-and-drop method and no longer need to be deleted and re-entered to be placed in a desired order.

Workflow change for manually deleting users

System Admins: To help prevent any errors when permanently deleting accounts, a user must now be disabled (via the Edit user screen) before their account can be manually deleted. In Admin Settings >  User accounts and data > Delete Disabled users, System Admins can then select which disabled user accounts they wish to permanently delete from their intranet.

NOTE—deleting users in bulk (via CSV) does not require that their accounts be disabled first.

UI updates

All Users/System Admins: To address the growing changes of the Jostle platform as well as provide more transparency overall, some notable changes have been made to the user interface:

• Contributors will now be referred to throughout the platform and support content as users.
• The main Admin Settings page has been cleaned up and reorganized to make it easier to use and understand.

Links: Default embedded link option for default view

System Admins: When choosing to set your intranet’s default view to Links, System Admins can now select a default embedded link to automatically open (NOTE—normally, it’s not good practice to default open your intranet to Links).

                     PLUS  88 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.
