Content Consumption  - Updates

This is a large multi-cycle project that has spanned over 18 months to modernize the look and feel of article-level content  (blogs, wikis, forums, files, calendar events, and microblogs).  The redesign focuses on better utilization of space, emphasis on critical content information, and encourages more interactions.  

• A new single-column layout maximizes the content area.  
• Critical content metadata such as publish date, views, and followers now appear in line with the content.
• New channel link with follow icon to help viewers navigate back to the channel and/or follow the channel from the article level. 
• Improved placement and styling of the Follow, Like, and Labels buttons aim to encourage more content interactions. 
• New Icon and placement for Admin Action button. 
• Tabs for Comments and Related Content centralize important information and discussions to add context and value to the article content.
  *Note: When comments are turned off, the comments tab is hidden from viewers but is always visible for admins.
• Related Content displays more information making it easy for users to effectively discover and navigate to other helpful articles. 
• New Copy Link button makes it easier to share content.
• Attachments and recent activity have been given more area to properly display titles and critical content information.
• Minimization of tasks.
• Preview count only displays on the activity page.  It is important for content creators to see this information in context with user names and timestamps to fully understand the reach of the content.    
• Removal of Rating stars, Channel information, and Search bar.
  • Our research and data showed that these were underused elements that had limited value and took up a great deal of space on the page.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: The Rating feature will be deprecated once the content consumption project is applied to all channels.  To turn this feature off early  - visit your Digital Workplace Admin Panel > Global Setting >Rating and uncheck the box.

Project Updates for Cycle 90 (April 2023 Release)

• Blog Article Design Rework
  • Background color for the summary text to distinguish it from the article's body
  • Right-hand margin of the Summary, Labels, and Article body will be reduced to improve the readability of the text  (**This will only be visible on sites where viewable space has been extended beyond 1200px) 
  • Ability to follow the channel from the article.

Updates to Workday Integrations &  Documentation 

The Workday Org Chart and Workday Inbox integrations have been enhanced to improve their performance and reliability. Additionally, the documentation has been updated to provide detailed, step-by-step instructions for configuring Workday. 

• Workday Inbox Actions integration 
• Workday Org Chart integration

To make the most of Workday Integrations in your digital workplace, we suggest reviewing the documentation to ensure proper configuration of both Igloo and Workday.

We have enhanced the Integration widget configuration for org chart integrations to provide a more user-friendly setup experience. As a result, you will need to replace any existing org chart integrations with the new V2 org chart integration, which is now available in the integration library.   Effective June 30th, Igloo will discontinue support for the old Workday org chart integrations - and it will be removed from the Widget Carosel.

Enhancements

•  Bookmarks open in new tab - Implement this to enable digital workplace bookmarks (My Bookmarks and Workplace Bookmarks) to open in a new tab upon selection.  See Article for more information
• Customize "Search Everywhere" Text - Utilize this enhancement to personalize the text displayed in the search box located on the user bar  - See Article for more information 

Tweaks and Changes

• Calendar allows for backdating  - We have reinstated the feature that allows users to create events in the past. Additionally, a warning message has been implemented to prompt event creators to confirm that the date has been intentionally set in the past.    Aha.io/ideas/ideas/CARE-I-772
• Digital Assistant  "To Know" Notifications expires after 2 weeks - For customers using this extension Igloo has reduced content expiry from 90 day to 14 days to reduce the amount of "To Know" Notifications. 

Mobile 5.2.0

• Localization/Translation -Igloo mobile now supports 22 languages (including English). Mobile language settings are inherited from the user's phone settings. See all supported languages
• Flex Access Member Support - Igloo mobile now supports sign-in the Flex access users.  Flex access users logging in for the first time or resetting their password will be pushed to a browser view page to set up their password and security questions or complete the forgot password flow.
