It's all about Findability!

How much time do we spend looking for information or answers we need to do our jobs?  According to IDC, Knowledge workers spend 15-30% of their time searching for information. And they are successful only half the time! With this release, we make it easier to find and consume content with tags, related content, improved search results and content history.

Categorize Content with Tags

Now, you can crowdsource the categorization of content across the org with Tags. Connect similar content with tags to make it easy for you and others to find later. The tag cloud helps everyone discover new content, and the filters let you to see what's trending over the last week, month or all time.

Explore by Tags to find connected content across your social graph.

Tags can be added to videos, documents, wikis, blogs, photos, and links. As you type, auto-complete will suggest existing tags or you can add a new tag. Hashtags are also supported - simply add a hashtag when commenting on a feed item. When you click on a tag from the tag cloud or viewer page, you will see search results for all items tagged with the specified keyword.

On the content viewer page, comma separate tags when adding multiple at once

Shortcut! Add a hashtag by commenting on the feed item



Find Valuable Resources with Related Content
We wanted to expose you to even more valuable content related to what you are currently viewing. So instead of hunting around in groups or searching, we are bringing related content to you. Now, when viewing a document, video, wiki, etc., related content is automatically recommended in the right column of the viewer page.

Discover more valuable info with related content

Improved Search!
Even with so many ways to help you find content, we understand that sometimes you just need to search. So, we've given our search a major makeover!

 The metadata has been consolidated for each search result, giving you more context so you can quickly assess the results to find what you need.  Plus, we've added filters with counts of each item similar to the consumer tools you use everyday, and you can sort by Relevance, Date, Views, or Likes to find exactly what you need in seconds.

We've also added the ability to search within a group or search by a specific user. If I want to find content associated with Joe Smith, simply type his name in the search box.

Filter and Sort as needed

Content History

Just like browser history, now you have access to a running list of all the content you've viewed. Content history lets you quickly navigate back to content you were working on or referenced previously. It reduces the amount of time spent looking for things. Easily refer back to items you last viewed and add a comment, edit or direct message another user on that content.

Personalized content browsing history

In the case where someone asks you a question and you think, I was just looking at that yesterday... Now, without searching you have an easy way to get back to that doc, wiki, video, photo, etc. You no longer have to rely on bookmarks to get back to content you work on frequently. Content history keeps track of your viewing history and makes it easily available to you.
