Our May release has arrived in your Digital Workplace. Here is what you can now explore:

Call-To-Action (CTA) widget

In this release, a new widget has been added to the carousel. Through the CTA widget, you'll be able to easily add and configure Call-To-Action buttons throughout your digital workplace, and better drive engagement. No HTML needs to be written either, just the simple drag, drop, and configure process that you're used to with our widgets. There are a wide variety of configurations can be achieved, but custom classes are not yet supported for this widget.

Multi-Service Search (MSS)

People Search Finally, there's now the ability to toggle between searching for content or people on the Igloo tab. This brings the people search function users are used to in the standard Igloo search, to the Multi-Service Search widget. Read the Multi-Service Search knowledge base article

Accessibility Enhancements

We also made accessibility improvements in this release. Keyboard navigation has been optimized for the user bar, dropdowns, search, microblogs, and GIPHY integration. Creating or editing content for blogs, calendars, wikis, and forums have also received keyboard navigation improvements.

Planned Removal of Briefcase

Due to Briefcase’s low usage rate, we have decided to remove it from the platform. We will instead be focusing our efforts on improving and supporting personal file sharing integrations. On June 27th we will be removing Briefcase from the platform. Please remove any personal files you have stored in Briefcase by no later than June 27th. Igloo will not be able to retrieve lost files for users.

To ensure all users are aware of this change in advance, a banner has been added to the Briefcase page.

We recommend using cloud drives Igloo integrates with, such as OneDrive or Google Drive, and personal dashboards, where individual users can access their cloud files through our integrations. You can learn more about how to setup and use personal dashboards by reading the knowledge base article.
