Release Notes - May 27, 2010

Wiki Editor Enhancements

We've made two enhancements for Wiki editing this week and added new icons to the tool bar for them:

• Spell Check - We've added a spell check feature to the Wiki editor. Once you have created some content, you can enable it using the spell check button in the tool bar. Misspelled words will be underlined in red on your screen and clicking on them will provide a drop down menu of suggested, correctly spelled words. Click the suggested word to replace the word that is underlined. You can then continue editing. Click the spell check button again if you want to re-run the check.
  

• Preview - You can now choose to preview your Wiki page to see your formatting and appearance before Saving or Publishing. When you click the preview button on the toolbar, a Preview window will be displayed showing what your page will look like once published. Use the close box to dismiss the window.
  

Bullet Handling Improvements
We've made some improvements to how our editor handles bullets. Using the bullet button from the tool bar will now indent the paragraph the right with spacing much closer to the way it will appear after being saved (or for those of you who like acronyms, we have improved our WYSIWYG-ness). You can build hierarchical lists with bullets by using the "indent" button on a bullet-ed line to indent it further and change the bullet from a solid black circle to a hollow one. The "outdent" button will return a bullet-ed item to the previous level or if it's the topmost bullet, remove it entirely and return it to normal text.

Group Enhancements
We've added a setting to Groups called Invite Policy to foster higher adoption rates for open groups as well as more granular restrictions to control group membership where needed. We have also made it easier to send email reminders to members who have been invited and have not joined to join. Customers have also requested that we provide a way to remove users from groups, so we have added this capability as well.

• Group Invite Policy - Admins can now set a policy that determines who can invite people to a group. All existing groups will have the previous invite policy applied (i.e. we are not changing the behavior of existing groups). Group Admins and Site Admins for Public Groups can change the Invite Policy
  

• Public Groups: Previously, any member in the Company, regardless if they were following a group or not, could invite other Company members to join the group. Now Group Admins (Group Creators are Group Admins by default) can choose between the following:
• allowing all members in a Company to invite others (All Members) - this is the new default
• restrict inviting to members of the group (All Group Members)
• restrict inviting to Group Admins or Site Admins (Only Group Admins)
• Private Internal Groups - Previously, only Group Admins could invite other Company members to join private internal groups. Now, Group Admins can choose to enable any member to invite others or continue to restrict inviting to Group Admins only. The new default will be that All Group Members will be able to invite others. Note: Since these are private groups, Site Admins do not have the same privileges as Group Admins and are treated like any other member (i.e. must be invited and granted Group Admin access).
• Private Cross-Company Groups - Previously, only Group Admins could invite other members (internal or external) to join private cross-company groups. Now, Group Admins can choose to enable any member to invite others or continue to restrict inviting to Group Admins. The new default will be that All Group Members will be able to invite others. Note: Since these are private groups, Site Admins do not have the same privileges as Group Admins and are treated like any other member (i.e. must be invited and granted Group Admin access).
• Actions for users with Pending Invites - Customers have asked us to help them increase group membership acceptance. They have told us about situations where someone was invited to join a group the week prior, and that they still had not joined. They wanted a way within the CubeTree product to easily send another email reminding them making it easier to join (rather than dig through their email). They also wanted a way to cancel an invite that had been sent out. So, we did some work...

• Send Invite Reminder - To help Group Admins remind invitees to respond to group invites, we've added the ability for a Group Admin (or Site Admins in Public Groups) to send an Invite reminder. The Admin can go to the Member page, scroll down to the Pending Invites section, find the member and select the action "send invite reminder" from the Actions menu. CubeTree will send an email to the user reminding them to join the group and a link to their inbox.

• Cancel Invites - To help Group Admins manage group invites we've added the ability to cancel pending invites from a group. The Admin can go to the Member page, scroll down to the Pending Invites section, find the member and select the action "cancel invite" from the Actions menu. This will cancel the invite and remove it from the pending invites section.

• Removing members from a group - We had a number of ways to add users to groups, but very few to remove users from a group. In this release, we added an Action for Group Admins called "remove from group". Once the member is removed they must go through the invite / follow process again to re-establish membership. Note: the member is not notified that they were removed from the group.

• Icons to make it easier to identify the role a member has in the Group - We wanted to make it easier for members of a group to identify who was a Site Administrator and who was a Group Administrator. We added two new icons to identify these roles:

Site Admin icon

Group Admin icon
