New features modern

 

Noticeboard

  • Autorefresh feature added to Modern Noticeboard. The list of news items will be updated every 10 minutes as default. The autorefresh can be disabled in the webpart properties by setting the refresh interval to 0. Also, a refresh icon has been added to the top row of the webpart.
  • Noticeboard comments can now be edited, and it is possible to add an image to the comment.

Page Information

  • Add​​ed functionality to choose a maximum number of related items you want to show for related people, documents and pages. ​​

Wizdom Architecture 

  • A new admin module for security settings. To follow new standards for content sanitization, this release includes a new module for security settings that allows admins to choose between three levels for sanitization – 1, 2, and 3 – of the content end users and editors create in Wizdom’s webparts in SharePoint.​
  • Now it is possible to enable/disable timerjobs and make them run in specific time of the day in the Admin portal.
  • Optimized client side performance of modern webparts when navigating between pages and modern site collections without refreshing the browser.
  • A list of modern sitecollections has been added just next to the list of classic site collections. The list of of modern site collections has a remove button which unregister the modern site collection from the Wizdom database so you can apply another site type but it doesnot uninstall Wizdom components from the site collection and doesnot delete the site collection.
  • In order to make it easier to call Wizdom API endpoints from external sources, a new feature toggle has been added, that when enabled automatically switches to the correct authentication provider based on the presence of a JWT bearer token. If this feature toggle is not enabled, this only happens with the presence of the x-wizdom-rest http header. (not sure whether we need to write about it) ​​​​​​​​ ​Ne​w fea​ture toggle: AutoSelectContextFactoryByAuthHeader=true/false
  • ​In order to support a specific scenario where external user accounts are not correctly marked with #ext# as part of the loginname, a new feature toggle has been added along with a configuration parameter, that will allow the configuration of an internal users domain whitelist. All users loginnames that does not end with a domain in the whitelist, will be considered as an external user, when this feature toggle and configuration has been set.  New feature toggle: UseInternalUsersDomainWhitelist=true/false New app setting: InternalUsersDomainWhitelist=domain1.com;domain2.com;domain3.com ​
