MangoApps Web Features & UX Improvements

The web interface of MangoApps in this release gets a new schedule module to communicate weekly shift timings of employees, new team reports for team admins, UI/UX improvements for RSS reader, edit image options, team post ui among other improvements.


Employee Schedules Module

If you have an existing schedule & shift management solution you can now integrate it with MangoApps intranet and give your employees one place to get their schedules.  Schedule module allows your employees to see their work schedule for current & upcoming weeks, get a full schedule of the store / factory they work in and the actual hours they worked in the week gone by – all on your Intranet. You make additions & changes to schedule & shift information in your existing schedule & shift management solution as you do today and MangoApps takes care to sync and show the updated schedule & shift info to your employees. An employee can generate a PDF to take a print out of their schedule or use the MangoApps private message requesting for change / swap

  • Chat Group Enhancement: When you start a new chat group with a set of people, you now have a choice to post the new IM in the latest chat group with the same set of people. This is great if you wish to have only one chat group with a set of people and not create new ones with the same set of people.

Box Enhancement

If you have configured box as your file storage with MangoApps, then the images & videos that are used in the company pages, posts and banner will be viewable to all authenticated MangoApps users even if they haven’t yet configured their box account. This has been done to enable everyone in the company to read content in company posts and pages that they are all authorized to read in MangoApps without taking the step of configuring the box account as a pre-requisite. Configuring the box account is still required to access files in other MangoApps modules including projects, groups, departments etc.,
