Etymology Release

Written by Vince Forrington | May 28, 2020

Released 2020 June 04 (build 44.5.37)

Discussions: Improved file uploads (already arrived)

All Users: Attaching large files to comments in Discussions has now become much quicker. Users can also post their comments while the attachment is still in progress as well as navigate to another chat or view without canceling the upload.

Discussions: Paste images directly from clipboard (already arrived)

All Users: Images copied to your clipboard can now be pasted directly into a Discussion’s input field. This will automatically upload an image without needing to save it first.

Discussions: Emoji keyboard

All Users: Users can now easily add emojis to their comments in Discussions. When creating a comment, users can pull up an emoji keyboard via the emoji icon that appears right in the input field, next to the attachment icon.

Note—this feature is unavailable in IE browsers. Also, it will not be added to the mobile app, which already incorporates your mobile device's native emoji keyboard.

Tasks: Overdue indications

All Users: Tasks users will now be able to tell at-a-glance when they are late in completing a task, as its due date shown on the Tasks list will turn red. Once the task is completed, the date will revert to grey.

Teams: Improved importing of updates (CSV)

Chart Admins: It now takes significantly less time when importing updates to a Teams Chart via CSV.

Easier access to Org-wide Preferences

System Admins: The Org-wide Preferences screen can now be easily accessed via the Admin Settings action menu in the Main Navigation. Previously, System Admins could only access their Org-wide Preferences by going into My Preferences first.

                     PLUS  90 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.
