Release Notes - April 16, 2010

Group Enhancements

Enhanced Group Membership Page

We added a new section, called Pending Users, that will display all Users that have been invited to a Group and have not accepted yet.

We increased the number of members displayed for Private or Cross Company Groups in each category from 3 to 9 and show as many as 42 members in a Public Group before the user needs to click "view more" to see additional group members.

Subscribe / Unsubscribe to receive Group feed items via email

Some users have told us that they would like to receive emails when feed items are generated for a few selected groups, but not all. We have added an action called "Subscribe" and "Unsubscribe" on the Group left nav. When the member subscribes to a group, they will receive emails notifying them that an item has been posted on the group wall. Unsubscribe will stop the feed item notification from being sent to the member.

Group Tasks (beta feature) enhancement

For those of you participating in the Group Task Beta program, we now enable Group Admins for private or cross company groups to set a default member who will be displayed in the Assignee field when creating a new Task in a Group using the CubeTree UI. We added a section to the Group > Tasks page where all group members can see who the assignee is.

Admin Changes (only for Enterprise Users)

Deleting Disabled or Unaccepted Invites

Site Admins have asked for a way to manage or remove Disabled and Unaccepted Invites which show up in the Directory or Global Search and confuse their members. These entries generally are created when a user enters an email address of a colleague and mistypes the address.

Site Admins will now be able to delete entries that have a status of Unaccepted Invites or Disabled. Site Admins can navigate to the Admin > Users page and the delete action will be enabled for any entry that is in either of the two valid states.

Once a user has been marked as deleted, they will not show up in the Directory, Global Search or any other list (including the All in the Admin User list).

Provide Custom Subjects on Invites that Site Admins Send

When Site Administrator's click on the upper "Invite" link they will now have the ability to override the default Subject with a custom Subject to the email that is sent to invite new users. The default subject for an Invite email is "[user name] sent you an invitation". Often a Site Administrator will be inviting on behalf of a company executive or team leader and may not even be known throughout the company. By allowing Site Administrators to change the Subject, they can help increase click rates by adding a more compelling call to action.

Enable a user to disable themselves

Company Admins have requested the ability for users to disable themselves or the ability for the last user to disable themselves. Members now have a new option on their Profile page of "Disable Account" which will disable them from CubeTree.
