Appspace 8.2 Andromeda Release Notes for Cloud

Previously when sorting user profiles in People Directory with the “Last Updated” option, it would display user profiles based on the user’s last login to the Employee App.

In this release, the “Last Updated” sorting option behavior has been changed, displaying user profiles based on the last updates made to the user’s profile page, rather than login.

• Global Search functionality
• Office Hours on resources
• Pages feature
• User Mentions in Comments
• Explore module

• Avatars of employees are not displayed in the list or map views when the Show Colleagues feature is enabled.
• Avatars of employees are not displayed within the resource sidebar.
• Reservation Names are replaced with “Workspace Reservation”, when displayed within the resource sidebar.

• The Checkpoint Valid From field does not reset to the default 7 days when set to “Before Event Starts” from “Immediately”.
• The Checkpoint Visitor Type field is not hidden when the Checkpoint option is set to “On-demand (Services)” from “At reservation”.
• Not selecting an on-demand service when making a reservation on resources configured with the On-Demand Checkpoint, prevents the reservation from being updated.

This ensures users the following localization capabilities:

• Accurate translations to resource sub-types and icons when displayed within the Search drop-down menu, or in Maps.
• Hovering over icons displays the translated name.
• Translations can be detected and read correctly by Screen readers.

This feature optimizes resource utilization and streamlines scheduling processes and is ideal for when resources are configured to require actions, such as check-ins, as it will now be adjusted to the real starting time of the meeting in opposition to all-day reservations.

Concierge users will benefit from this enhancement as they gain the ability to swiftly respond to service requests for events that require their assistance, ensuring exceptional service delivery, and the ability to offer personalized services and efficient handling of customer requests. This enhances the overall experience for both visitors and concierge teams alike.

These services can be added during the creation of the reservation, or once the reservation has been made, allowing organizers to confirm the meeting room availability, before having to decide on the service that will be available.

• On-demand services checkpoints that have been added when making the reservation, cannot be removed later on.
• On-demand services checkpoints that have been added once the reservation has been made, will return the reservation status to “Not Confirmed“, if the Organizer Compliance has been set to “Required“.

This enhanced functionality offers customers unparalleled flexibility in managing resource rules, as they are able to fine-tune resource availability and optimize resource allocation in order to accommodate the diverse scheduling needs of the organization seamlessly.

• Default Recurrence: How many recurrences will be suggested to users when booking this room.
• Max # of Recurrences: The maximum number of recurrences that will be permitted to be scheduled. Doing it will remove the never-ending option in the reservation panel.
• Max Time period: Define for how long a recurrence sequence can span out.

Currently, the default maximum meeting recurrences that can be configured is 730.

• If the Default Recurrence > the Max # of Recurrences, then the Max # of Recurrences will be increased to match the Default Recurrences.
• If the Max # of Recurrences < the Default Recurrence, then the Default Recurrences will be decreased to match the Max # of Recurrences.

This functionality is also available when editing existing resources on the floor plan.

By adapting legends in real-time to the displayed information, users can focus on the relevant details and enjoy a more intuitive and streamlined booking experience.

Example scenarios showcasing the dynamic behavior of legends:

• Check-In Legend: If a resource does not utilize the check-in functionality, the check-in legend will not be displayed, providing a clutter-free map interface.
• Availability Legend: In the event that no resources are available, the “available” legend will not be shown, allowing users to quickly understand the current resource status.

Building resources are also grouped by Geo-location when displayed in the results search drop-down menu.

Within the People Directory, content-specific User Profiles facilitate the building of workplace relationships, empowering employees to communicate effectively, streamline the new hire onboarding process, connect remote teams, and tap into expertise and skills, ultimately boosting productivity.

With easy access and management of employee information on any device, employees can search for colleagues based on name, job title, location, department, manager, and contact information. This comprehensive People Directory not only saves time and effort but also enhances workplace communications and collaborations.

Pages offer a wide range of content types, including text, images, videos, and more, enabling customers to craft engaging articles that resonate with their target audiences. Say goodbye to static content and embrace the freedom to design visually stunning pages that capture attention and deliver information effectively.

To enhance content organization and discoverability, we introduce Topics. This new organizational collection type allows customers to structure and group related pages together. By creating topic containers, such as “HR Policies,” customers can seamlessly categorize pages, making it effortless for employees to find the information they need.

Explore goes beyond the existing Channels module functionality, allowing employees to explore not only Channels and Channel Groups but also the newly introduced Pages and Topics.

Explore replaces Channels, as the module that displays all content within the Employee App, such as Topics, Channels (inclusive of Channel Groups), and Pages.

Easily mention and notify specific individuals by using the “@” symbol, followed by their username, when commenting on an article or posting when needing to seek input from a colleague, share important updates with specific team members, or simply grab someone’s attention.

With the introduction of new types of content feeds, we recognize the need for different default subscription behaviors, hence the following subscription types being offered:

• Mandatory: This is the existing behavior, where users defined in the feed’s audience will automatically receive posts and content published into the feed.
• Opt-Out: Users (Feed Audiences) are subscribed to the feed by default but have the flexibility to unsubscribe if desired. This ensures a personalized experience while allowing users to manage their content subscriptions.
• Opt-In: Users (Feed Audiences) are not subscribed by default, giving them control over which feeds they choose to follow. This option empowers users to curate their content and receive only what interests them most.

Designed to provide a seamless and comprehensive search experience, employees are able to search for integrated apps, reservations, visitors, buildings, resources, locations, videos, people, cards, comments, and events effortlessly.

Details of the conference call are easily accessible from within the reservation details. Additionally, users may also access conference calls directly from their preferred communication channel, either through the enterprise messaging app or email notifications.

By leveraging Microsoft’s Edge (Chromium-based) WebView2 browser engine at its core, we have modernized our Appspace App for UWP to provide a seamless and powerful experience

UWP App customers must update their UWP app to App version 2.58.0 or later to retain current registration information.

Failure to do so will require re-registration and configuration of the device.
