Notifications in Microsoft Teams

All Users (with MS Teams): This adds Microsoft Teams as an available notification channel in My Preferences > Notifications. Once the feature has been set up and enabled by a System Administrator, users can opt to have any of their intranet notifications forwarded to their MS Teams Chat. Note—this feature is not included in the actual Oomph release, but can be expected to be live by the time Oomph is deployed.

Released 2020 Oct 12 (build 44.14.30)

Library: New info panels

All Users: A slide-out panel will be replacing the pop-over cards currently used to display the information for folders, files, or links in Library.

Similar in style to the Info panel in Discussions, this format is easier to navigate and contributes to a more consistent UI experience across the platform.

Profile: Improved attachments

All Users: When clicking on image, GIF, PDF, or video attachment in a user's Profile, it will now open via the Jostle Viewer instead of in a new browser tab.

Login CSV report: More data

System Admins who download the “login status and method” CSV report in Admin Settings > Analytics will now see two more columns of data for users who login with Jostle credentials: MFA and LastModifiedPasswordTime .

The first will indicate if a user has Multi-factor Authentication enabled and the second will show the last time a user changed their password.

ALSO 

Zapier integration: Official launch

With this integration, orgs can use Zapier to create automated tasks that pull data from other web applications right into your intranet's Discussions.

PLUS 77 bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Special release

Aside from the usual fixes and improvements, the majority of features in this release will be used to lay the groundwork for future advancements. As such, there are no customer-facing features to highlight for this release.

                     INCLUDES  64 bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 Sep 11 (build 44.12.16)

Self registration link

System Administrators can now add new users by sending them a link that enables them to register their own user information, and then be securely added via email confirmation.

This method removes the need for a System Admin to set up a new user’s account prior to sending them an invite. All they need to do is send the link to their users. NOTE—self registration emails cannot be auto-generated, so System Admins will have to copy-paste the link into emails that they create and send themselves.

This feature and link can be enabled in Admin Settings > User accounts and data > Enable self registration.

                     PLUS  39 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 Aug 27 (build 44.11.21)

Search improvements

All Users: The Search format used in Jostle's mobile app has now been brought to the desktop version of the platform. This results in a cleaner UI (hints no longer obscure the results list), quicker access to DMs and other follow-up actions, and a more consistent Search experience across devices.

                     PLUS  46 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 Aug 13 (build 44.10.15)

Locations: CSV import/export

System Administrators now have the option to import/export their Locations information via CSV in Admin Settings > Filters and badges > Configure Official Locations. This will help avoid issues with duplication and other inconsistencies and make the overall management of Locations much easier.

                     PLUS  41 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 July 29 (build 44.9.17)

User status

All Users can now let people know at-a-glance when and why you're unavailable. Just click the "Set user status" link under your name in the Main Navigation, choose an appropriate status (or make your own) and then select the duration to have it active. Note—it may take up to 90 seconds for an updated status to be reflected for all connected users.

Your status will appear on your Profile card, and will also be indicated by a custom emoji found on your photo in People as well as next to your name throughout the platform. When others hover over your emoji, it'll reveal your status as a tool tip. 

System Admins can enable/disable this feature in Admin Settings > User Profiles

Events: Improvements

All Users: On Events notices, the “Add to calendar” and “Set reminder” links have been moved up to the RSVP section and the reminder now offers better options, including “15 minutes before” the event.

Events Admins: The “Download guestlist” link has moved to a more prominent location— the action bar at the top of the screen, next to the Edit link.

News: Bulk unpin articles

News Admins: In News > Manage > Published, News Reporters and Editors now have the option to bulk unpin articles from their News view.

                     PLUS  54 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 July 23 (build 44.8.3)

Tasks: Duplicate a task to many users

All Users: Tasks users can now create many new tasks at once by duplicating an existing task. While duplicating, simply select the people or groups you want included, and each individual in that target will be sent their own task.

News: Improved attachments

All Users: Clicking on a News Article attachment, will now open it in-platform with the Jostle Viewer, instead of in a new browser tab. Users will also initially be given the option to download the attachment or just view it.

News: Published Items 'Download CSV' renamed

News Admins: To provide clearer context and better understanding, the "Download CSV" link on the Published Items screen in News has been renamed to the more transparent "Export metrics".

                     PLUS  54 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 July 02 (build 44.7.17)

Library: Category improvements

All Users: When you click on a Category in your Library, its Volumes will now be displayed in the main view instead of just the side panel, making it easier to find what you're looking for.

Library: Updated action bar

All Users: The action bar at the top of Library has been updated to our current design standards, making it consistent with other views and providing better context of what is being viewed.

Librarians: The "Add New" feature has been updated as well and is now indicated by the “+” icon.

                     PLUS  58 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 June 19 (build 44.6.19)

Events subscription for personal calendars

All Users can now subscribe their Events to their Google, Outlook, or Apple (Mac) calendar, so that anything visible in Events will be visible in their personal calendar. Each synced calendar event will include the details of the event (name, location, time, description) as well as a link back to the original notice in Events. NOTE—completing your RSVP or any other action must be done in Events and cannot be done from your personal calendar.

System Administrators will need to turn this feature on (by clicking the gear icon in Events and selecting "Enable calendar subscriptions") before users will see the "Subscribe to calendar" option in their Events view.
