This month we bring updates that deliver improvements to Navigation as well as newly redesigned labels,  a vital part of our Community. 

 

Hello Qlik Community!

This is always a fun time of year.  The work should slow down but never does.  In all seriousness, while we continue to push this sprint into production (and a 2nd one is already planned for later this month) December we will go on a freeze.  Unless it's a bug fix of critical nature or something else profound we will go on a much needed break.   Instead, we will use the time to reflect on the past year while building plans for 2022.   A freeze allows us time to ensure for community stability and work on site performance improvements.   

Updates today include the following:

  1.  Right Rail Navigation Updates
    We deliver consistency to community pages by streamlining the right-side navigation (what we call the 'right rail') so that as users navigate from page to page things are consistent. 

    Right rail setup will primarily include:
  • Moderator  (or for Groups we note the Group Admins)
  • Upcoming Events
  • Labels  (may be referred to as:  "Subscribe by Product or Subscribe by Topic ")
  • Tag Cloud
  • Recent Documents
  • Community Browser

2.  New Label Design when Inside a Post

It's the little things in life that please this nerd 🤓
Labels help us keep all our content organized and serve a vital purpose in our community.  Members often subscribe to labels as a way to only receive notifications on content they truly care about. 

A UI improvement to labels went into production today making them easier to see and more appealing to the eye. You will notice the redesigned labels when creating a new post.   When you select a label it will turn green (of course we chose green!).

3.  'Request to Close' on Case Portal
When updating a case you have the option to request to close your case.  A simple UI improvement to left justify and bold the text and checkbox make this feature a bit more intuitive and noticeable for our users.

We have a lot of big plans for you in 2022!   Yet, I can't help but wonder... if you can request just one change to the Community what would it be?  Tell us in the comments ⬇️ !    

Wishing all our Community Members a wonderful day, week and month ahead. 

All the best, 
Melissa, Sue and Jamie
