Complete New Look for Viewing Read (receipt) Status
- The view for the Read (receipt) Status has been improved by removing the two columns with a transformation to the update OS7 grid list
- Everyone is now in one list showing the User, Read Status and the Read On date
- All columns are now sortable
- Search filter is now available
- List can be filtered to show all users who have read or haven't read the announcement
- Alerting All Unread Users is as easy as it was before but with a greatly improved experience
- There is now a count indicator to clearly show how many users have not read the announcement
- The alert type can now be changed from Normal to Urgent
- Recipients of the alert can be managed so that additional users can be added or removed.
- The alert subject and message can be customized before the notification is sent
- Individual notifications can also be sent by using the Alert menu option which is available on each user
- Export is now available! The export will allow managers to export the complete list to a csv format for record keeping.
- The export will also include the supervisors to enable managers to know who to reach out to if special follow-up is needed.
Changed workflow for acknowledging read (receipt) status so results are more reliable
- All announcement previews are hidden until the user acknowledges they have completely read the announcement (announcements still shows if included in notification)
- When the announcement is opened the users will be reminded that acknowledgement is still needed. Immediate acknowledgement no longer happens as soon as the announcement is opened.
- When viewing the announcement the user will be required to 'Acknowledge' that the announcement is read in its entirety. This will allow users to take more time to read the announcement or come back to finish reading an announcement if they are interrupted.
Improved Announcement Permissions
- Workgroup Managers can now View Read Status of all announcements
- Permission to View Read Status can now be assigned to an assistant manager
- Permission to Edit/Delete are now separate permissions that can be assigned to an assistant manager
- Creator of the announcement can now edit and delete their own announcements
- Each island will have an option to allow all workgroup members to add an announcement or to allow only workgroup manager and assistant managers to add an announcement. This will allow organizations to limit who can send an announcement to the organizational workgroup.
