Latest Staffbase Updates

4.0.5 - September 04, 2019

The plugin for integrated content now works also in the public area of your app.
When using the Absence plugin with the SAP® HCM connector, users will now see a standard icon for all absence types. The leave request form is now more user friendly and the users will only see relevant absence types and have an intuitive date selection.
In the space chooser in the top of the admin menu, spaces are now arranged alphabetically.

In the Absence plugin, the hover effect for a button was not functioning and the date picker used colors that had not enough contrast to show the selection. Both issues are now fixed.
On editing the image details in a post, a label had the wrong color. The label now uses the colors the app is branded with.

With the SAML plugin, you can now seamlessly integrate external content not just through the single sign-on experience, but also by deep linking to the respective page inside the external application.
We have released a new lightweight integration for third-party content, the Integrated Content plugin. With the Integrated Content plugin, users now see seamlessly embedded content and simultaneously have access to the native sharing feature of the mobile device. This overcomes previous pitfalls of embedding external content and improves the user experience significantly.

In the app’s chat and in the newsfeed, accessibility improvements for visually impaired users have been implemented.
The anniversary chatbot now logs the date and time of sent messages, which makes it easier to investigate which messages have already been sent. Additionally, when problems occur during sending anniversary messages, the error handling has been improved.
For your custom plugins, you can now freely decide whether you want to use authentication via basicAuth. If you’ve previously encountered problems with custom plugins, disabling basicAuth can improve the login flow for your users.
The Absence plugin with SAP® HCM connector is now able to handle different absence types. Previously it was limited to one type. We are working on further improvements to make the integration between the employee app and SAP® even more versatile. Stay tuned.

In the notification center, some notifications were not displayed with the expected interface language. The notification center uses the correct language now.
On some Android™ devices, it was not possible to scroll up and down in the app. This has been fixed.
When unpublishing or deleting an article post directly in the native app, the app got stuck loading the next view. Unpublishing and deleting articles now works properly again.

The minimum version for native apps was raised to 3.2.
When clicking on an event in the Office 365® Calendar plugin a dialog now opens with more information about the event. You will see the event organizer and access the link that takes you to the event in the Office 365® calendar.

Images in a post were scaled in the full screen view. This does not happen anymore.

In Internet Explorer® 11 when filling in a form, values selected via dropdown menu were not visible. This has been fixed.
