New features modern

 

Noticeboard

  • Modern Noticeboard has added a new feature for posting news posts with manual translations. The manual translation feature can be activated in the Noticeboard module in Wizdom Administration. When this feature is activated, the users can provide optional translations for each field in the news post, even images and videos can be provided for each language.

Power Panel

  • Introduced a new Welcome page for Power Panel that includes options for a welcome text, logo and brand colors. The welcome page is opt in feature in this release for those customers who upgrade from previous versions. In the upcoming release the welcome page will be enhanced with new features and will be inseparable part of the Power Panel.
  • New and improved animations for opening and closing panels.
  • Introduced option to deploy Power Panel to Microsoft Teams.
  • New and more streamlined desktop and mobile experience
  • Introduced a new all tiles button that is visible when there is not enough room to display all tiles on a single line.
  • Introduced a new Close button for all panels to enable users to easily close a panel especially on smaller devices.
  • Power Panel will display system labels with translated values.

Workspaces

  • Workspace Modern overview webpart now supports filtering on sitetype, metadata and roles.
  • Workspace Modern metadata webpart now shows an easy way to select workspace when the webparts is added to a page.
  • Workspace Modern overview webpart now supports predefined filters by specifying a custom query string in the webpart properties.
  • Workspace Modern overview webpart now supports order on title and metadata.
  • Workspace Modern overview can now show sitetype as part of the columns with metadata
  • ​Fixed a problem where the Workspace overview webpart did not supports multiple predefined role filters in the webpart properties together with a role filter during search. This change forced an update to the “api/wizdom/businessapp/v2/instances/me/sites” API.
    Previously multiple “&Role” queries generated logical OR statements. This is changed to logical AND statements.
    Example, this will return sites where the principal with id 4 is in both the ‘Members’ AND the ‘Owners’ role: “&Role=Members eq 4&Role=Owners eq 4”.
    The logical OR is still achievable with the ‘|’ separator in a single query parameter.
    Example, this will return sites where the principal with id 4 is in either the ‘Members’ OR the ‘Owners’ role: “&Role=Members eq 4|Owners eq 4”.​

Wizdom Architecture 

  • Introduced new admin role for every module in the configuration center, so it is now possible to grant access to specific modules instead of all of them. Every module now has a new “Permissions” tab, that is visible to Global admins only. This change also means that Noticeboard admins configuration has been moved to the Permissions tab of the Noticeboard module in the admin center and all Noticeboard admins specified directly as users has been moved to Wizdom Audience group called “Noticeboard migrated administators”.
  • RequireCustomModuleAuthorization feature toggle is removed and now the authorization is always required.
  • Modern richtext editor has been updated to froala 2.9.6​
