Enhancements
Events for Unifyed Groups
From this release, a Unifyed Group administrator can create group-specific events that would be visible to members of the group alone. For this feature to work, your group MUST have Event widget added from Studio > Widget. You can either Register or Withdraw from the Event Widget of your Unifyed Group. Event creation for the Group can be done from Events Applet on your portal homepage.
Note: You are required to get the updates from Studio > AppStore for this enhancement.
Group Discovery
With this enhancement, users now get suggestions for joining groups based on their area of interest and the categories that they have subscribed to. ONLY Public and Restricted groups appear under the Suggested tab. Group tagging functionality has also been introduced to facilitate group suggestions functionality.
Note: You are required to get the updates from Studio > AppStore for this enhancement.
Restructuring of Group Categories
This enhancement introduces new categories and sub-categories of Unifyed group templates. While creating a Unifyed Group, you can choose a category and sub-category of the group. Choosing the main category of the group gives you the subcategories belonging to that group. Once a group is created, you can change neither category nor sub-category of the group.
Note: You are required to get the updates from Studio > AppStore for this enhancement.
Group Admin – Studio Access
This feature enables a Group Administrator to access Studio options exclusively for that group. Upon becoming a Group Administrator, a user automatically gets all the necessary rights (from Studio Access Control) that are required to manage a group. Conversely, a Tenant admin who is NOT a group admin, cannot access studio options for that group.
Note: You are required to get the updates from Studio > AppStore for this enhancement.
A group admin does not have Tenant admin rights and vice-versa.
Customizable Groups on Left Navigation Bar
This enhancement enables you to control the presence of My Groups and Managed Groups in the left navigation menu bar. You can control appearing/disappearing of the options with a toggle switch placed under Settings > Site Settings > Left Navigation > Site Groups.
