MangoApps Web New Features & Improvements

The web interface of MangoApps in this release gets Chat as a full module, new UI for Intranet posts, new capabilities for dashboard widgets, 4x faster document upload, 25% faster page load time among other improvements.

Dashboard Moved Out Of Company Module

All MangoApps Social Intranet customers, would now see the dashboard moved out of being a page inside the company module, to being a top level module in their primary navigation. This provides a cleaner and clearer separation between the employee’s personalized content (dashboard) from company-wide content (posts & pages). Additionally, this now allows admins the ability to set either as their domain landing page (as both dashboard and the company module are destinations in themselves).
