In this blog post we will talk about the latest improvements introduced to our platform. These improvements are mainly related to the Persons & Groups features, as well as the Calendar. We’ve also updated the REST APIs to make it easier to create and manage group hierarchies, group types, group meeting points, age groups, group statuses, and target groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Group internal right: view group member fields<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Let’s start with the improvements for Persons & Groups. First of all, the group member fields have been made visible via a new permission called “view group member fields”. The permission makes it easier to understand the group internal permissions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Further Actions” for groups<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

We have also improved the batch operations (Further actions) for groups. With the updated operations, any number of groups can now be adjusted simultaneously. This saves time and makes the management of groups much more efficient.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Comment field enlarged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

We have also improved the comment fields in group member data. They can now be up to 512 characters long and are fully displayed in the group member table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Calendar: Search field for list view<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Furthermore we have placed the search field for list views of embedded calendars directly in the preview. This makes it easier to search for a specific event or person in the calendar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

REST-API<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Finally, we’ve also updated the REST APIs. With the new APIs, users can now create and manage group hierarchies, as well as group types, group meeting points, age groups, group statuses, and target groups. The CRUD APIs make it easy for users to create new groups and group types, or edit and delete existing ones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
