KP 2.4 is here!

Thomas Moreau April 20, 2011

Knowledge Plaza 2.4Because knowledge management is as much about conversation as information, we wanted to enrich the platform with conversational features and stimulate discussions. The solution has strong information management abilities, we now want to make it better at managing your conversations.

With this update, be careful using Knowledge Plaza: It's addictive!

This option replaces the 'bookmark' option. It offers you to be alerted of any change made on tiles or members you follow. You can follow Tiles spontaneously. The system will also automatically consider you are following Tiles/Mosaics you either:
  • rate
  • comment
  • modify (metadata, new versions, wiki pages)
  • receive
  • tag
  • relate/unrelate

Improved management of wiki versions

System digests (KP Enterprise only)

Plus...

  • Email alert when a new version of a document is uploaded
  • RSS feeds and digests now also available on KP Communities
  • A new sorting option on Tiles recently updated
  • Improved reviewing criteria (newly added tiles having both description and tags will not appear in the review list anymore)
