Release Notes - June 11, 2010

Group Enhancements

New Group Members Page Layout - We have heard from our customers that when groups get large, it can be difficult to find members and for Group Admins to manage the roles for the team. This week, we re-organized the Group Members page and now provide the following:

• Information is displayed in a table format with Name and Title, Role (i.e. Group Admin, Member), Contributed (last time the member generated a feed item in the group), Company (if in a cross company group), and Actions.

• We provide a filter so you can decide if you want to see All (by default) or just Pending Invites, Members, or Admins)
• We now allow you to sort using the Name, Contributed and Company column headers.

• Name - default by first Name.
• Contributed - initial sort will be the most recent contributions with pending invites appearing at the bottom of the list; click again to sort by oldest contribution with pending invites at the top.
• Company - for Cross Company Groups - by Company domain name.

• By default we show 50 users per page, but you can choose to "Show All" members if you like (scroll to the bottom of the list to select). You can then choose to "Show Less".

Group File Upload Policy - Customers have requested that we provide a way that they can restrict who can upload files to the Group. We have now added a "Upload Policy" control to the Group options. All existing groups will have the previous file upload 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:

• All Members - all active members in the Company.
• All Group Members - only members that are following the group.
• Only Group Admins - only members that are Group Admins (Group Creator or Group Admin).

• Private Group

• All Group Members - only members that are following the group.
• Only Group Admins - only members that are Group Admins (Group Creator or Group Admin

• Private Cross Company Groups:

• All Group Members - only members that are following the group.
• Group members from domain.com - only members from the Company that created the Cross-Company Group.
• Only Group Admins - only members that are Group Admins (Group Creator or Group Admin).

CubeTree Mobile Site Enhancements

Lots of our members are on the go and use their smart phones to interact with their colleagues. We continue to add functionality to our Mobile Site to make these interactions easier and support their collaboration needs.

• We have added the ability to browse Groups and Wiki pages and updated the Home page:
  
  
  • The Home page now includes Groups as well as Follows Feed, Company Directory, Profile and Wikis links to access these sections of the app. You can also update your status from the Home page.
  • Groups will take you to the Group List page that shows a list of your Groups (sorted by last activity) and also allows you to search by Group name. Click on a Group name to be taken to the Group Wall where you can now Post a comment to the Group Wall.
  • Wikis will take you to the list of Company Wiki pages where you can see the Name of the Wiki page, when the last activity occurred and the last Editor. You can also search Wiki pages by name.

Improved Invite Acceptance

Our support team has reported that they receive many inquiries from members who successfully signed up for CubeTree but are unable to log in the next time they visit CubeTree. We have found that this typically occurs because they are not aware of the email address that was used when they signed up (this can happen when the invite is sent to an email address that they don't normally use but has been aliased to reach them - for instance bmaxwell@cubetree.com is mapped to bud.maxwell@cubetree.com).

In order to help avoid this problem in the future, we have modified the initial log in screen and added the email address that was used in the invite as well as the ability to correct the email address that is used.


If you change the email address, a new invite will be sent to this new email address that the user should use to sign up for CubeTree.

Profile Photo Controls

Some customers have employees spread around the world where there are different regulations that affect whether they can display profile photos. To support these companies, we have added the ability for the Site Admins to disable profile photos. On the Admin > Features left navigation, there is now a check-box labeled "Enable Users to Upload a Custom Profile Photo" which by default is On. Admins working in these environments can un-check this option. Users will no longer be able to upload profile photos and we will display the "shadow member" image. Please note that if members had previously uploaded a profile photo, those photos will be removed from the feed items and the profile, the next time the system performs a refresh of the cache (we do this once a week).
