INCLUDES: 31 bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2021 March 03 (build 44.24.18)

Contact person added for Library items

Librarians/All users: A slot for a Contact person has been added to the Info panels for all Library items. This makes it easier for users to know who best to contact about a Library item (especially helpful when an item has multiple Volume Librarians) and make the process of doing so much quicker as well.

A Contact person will automatically be assigned to all existing Library items. By default, it will be the person who last modified the item. If an item hasn't been modified, then it will be the person who added the item.

The Contact person can also be edited at any time by any of an item's Volume Librarians via the Info panel.

INCLUDES 57 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2021 February 21 (build 44.23.16)

API Documentation (already available)

System Admins: While not actually part of this release, Jostle’s open API has just been made publicly available. This will allow customers with API experience to create their own custom integrations with Jostle and other open-API apps.

For more information about API and a link to the API Documentation, please see the Managing API Rights article in the Support Center.

INCLUDES 35 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Tasks API: Individual task endpoint

Tasks users: This will enable the generation of automated individual tasks in Tasks. The arrival of this API will also allow Jostle to soon offer personal tasks (i.e., tasks assigned to yourself) as an endpoint option when creating automated Zaps through our Zapier integration.

Custom Filters/Locations: Pre-deletion warning

System Admins: Previously, when a System Admin deleted a Custom Filter or Location, they would receive a notification if this had impacted any targeted content across the platform. Now, this notification will appear as a warning before any deletion occurs.

Links: Quick Links renamed Custom Views

System Admins: The Quick Links feature, which allows customers to add links of their own choosing to the Main Navigation, has been renamed Custom Views.

PLUS 43 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2021 Jan 11 (build 44.20.23)

“Must-see” notification update

News Admins: The option to send out a “Must-see” notification for a News item (i.e., a notification that users cannot opt out of) has been replaced by a new “Notify” feature. Those who have edit rights on a News item will see the Notify option in the action bar of the viewer, but only after the item has already been published. This allows for it to be used at any time, (unlike "Must-see", which can only be used when publishing). A note can also be included to add any related details to the notification.

NOTE—this update will also be applied to Events notices and Library updates, as well as result in the removal of "Must-see" notifications as an optional blocked action for Reporters.

Library: New data fields added to Volume stats CSV

Librarians: The Volume usage stats report (which can be exported via CSV from a Volume’s Info menu) now contains three additional fields of data: Added By, Modified By, and Description.

PLUS 61 other bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 Dec 17 (build 44.19.17)

Azure AD user provisioning (beta only)

Azure AD users: Beta testing is already underway for this integration that allows changes and updates made to an organization's users in Azure AD to be automatically pushed and applied to their users in Jostle.

Mobile: Library i-menu access

Mobile app users: When a Category, Volume, Folder, or File is opened in Library, it's Info menu can now be accessed via the i-icon in the action bar.

PLUS 45 bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 Dec 03 (build 44.18.22)

Library: New i-menus

All Users: The i-menus that provide information and settings for Library Volumes and Categories are now easier to locate and use. Now displayed on slide-out panels, they can be accessed by selecting a Category or Volume from the left column of your Library and then clicking the i-icon in the action bar.

Automation users

System Admins: This new user type has been created to allow organizations to set up third-party integrations (e.g. Zapier) or to configure user provisioning (see below) without having to tie the function to an existing user's account. Each Jostle customer is provided with one free Automation user slot, with the option to add more via paid slots.

Automation user accounts do not get affected by most of the login control settings (but will have a mandatory MFA login). For more information, go to Admin Settings > User accounts and data > Manage Automation users.

Okta user provisioning

Organizations that use Okta can now manage user creation and updates in Okta and then have those changes automatically pushed to their Jostle intranet. For more information, interested customers can see this article or contact support@jostle.me

PLUS 39 bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 Nov22 (build 44.17.16)

Events: Location hyperlinks

All Users: On the New Event form, if an Events Creator enters a link in the Location field (for a Zoom meeting, Google Meet session, etc.), it will now become a hyperlink on the published Event notice, making it easier for invitees to connect to online Events.

Orgs can now switch their Library storage to Google Drive (already released)

System Admins: Google Drive has been added to the available storage options in Library Settings, enabling customers that didn’t go through the Google Marketplace setup to switch their storage location from Jostle to their Google Drive (resulting in a Google-integrated Library in the process).

For more information about this process and its requirements, interested customers can contact support@jostle.me or their Customer Success Manager.

PLUS 50 bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.

Released 2020 Nov 5 (build 44.16.32)

PLUS 54 bug fixes and/or performance enhancements.
