Here are some new Features with the new Communities Platform.
New Metrics for Communications & Content
- New Impact Metrics: See not only who has viewed your blog posts and documents, but who has referred them to others. You'll be able to view Impact Metrics by department, turning metrics into a powerful tool to drive engagement and influence company-wide.
New Profiles
- Enhanced Profiles:Redesigned to make profiles more relevant to day-to-day work, with ability to list your expertise, to endorse your co-workers for their expertise, and to search and invite based on expertise.
Enhanced Search
- Search Weighting: New algorithms serve up relevant content via search. Streamlined search UX and new "smart search" uses knowledge of user behavior and content meta-data to influence search results and to give quick access to Frequently Viewed people, content, and places
New Mobile Experience
- Improved Mobile Web experience.We're enhancing the mobile web experience with a focus on public communities (and will also be adding official support for Mobile Safari), giving our customers more flexibility in branding and theming their community on mobile. Whether logged in or browsing as a guest, users can view videos, start discussions, share their latest gamification mission completion in a status update and much more.
And More!!
- Get Started guides help new community members contribute faster -- From launching and growing successful company networks over the last 10 years, we've learned a lot about how newbies learn and use Jive. In our latest release, when new users log into Jive for the first time, they are prompted to complete a few key tasks such as posting a status update, connecting with colleagues, and joining a group. This helps new users to quickly engage and contribute in Jive. Users can choose to skip the Get Started guides and explore on their own. They can revisit the guides anytime by clicking the Get Started link in the left sidebar.
- New and useful widgets-- The Featured Person and Featured Group widgets, a customization once only available on Jive Community, are now available in your Overview pages. You can now upload images or other files to Jive so they're quickly available for use in your HTML and Rich Text widgets, with better performance.
- Create content right from the Activity page -- Now you can create content right from the Activity page by just clicking the icon for discussion, blog post, document, and so on.
- Search box re-org -- We've rolled the Bookmark and History icons into the main Search box for faster navigation. And now your History is broken out into Frequently Viewed and Recently Viewed items.
- Attention streams enhancements -- Creating, naming, and managing custom attention streams is even easier now, thanks to the work of our design and development teams.
- Consolidated Inbox notifications -- Why deal with the same message twice? We've rolled up different types of notifications (@mentions, shares, and so on) in your Inbox to minimize the number of items you see listed there.
- Redesigned user menu -- The new pop-up view of your user profile provides shortcuts to quickly change your avatar, edit your user profile, and set your preferences. Click the triangle next to your name to check it out.
