IBM has released what's new for IBM Connections Cloud for November 2015. Here is some of the updates:
Social
Participate in polls and surveys from the Connections mobile app (available on or after Dec 11) The Connections app on iOS and Android now allows you to list polls and surveys in a community, submit responses, and see a summary of results if allowed.
Guest invitations are sent with your email address on copy(available on or after Nov 21)
Connections Cloud will now add the inviter to the guest invitation email in the cc field. This provides better awareness that the guest was invited to Connections Cloud and gives the inviter the chance to resend the invitation directly if for some reason the guest did not receive it or deleted the invitation.
New icons that show file sync status (available on or after Nov 21)
Now you can quickly see the status of your synced files. New icons show when a file is synced, sync in progress, or there's an issue with syncing a file.
New IBM Connections Editor on mobile (available now)Now edit Connections files on your mobile device. Edit and create PowerPoint presentations, Excel spreadsheets, and Word documents in IBM Connections Mobile. The Editor is a standalone application that will only allow users to save content in Connections. The Editor is a full featured application that provides editing capabilities on iOS and Android devices.
Docs
Other enhancement to Connections Docs (available on or after Nov 21) New features include up to 20 people who can edit a document at the same time, data validation, 3D reference formulas, presentation sizes up to 50 MB, and file viewer enhancements.
Meetings
Invite people to your meeting from within the meeting (available on or after Nov 21) Clicking the invite user icon will now allow you to search for users online and send a link to the meeting via Connections Chat.
Administrators: Set audio/video policies for meetings (available on or after Nov 21)
Now organization administrators can easily manage audio/video policies for meetings across their entire organization, or set policies for individual users.
Chat
Easily organize your chat contacts with drag and drop (available on or after Nov 21) You can now quickly organize your chat contacts. Simply drag and drop contacts between groups on your contact list.
New Theme
New streamlined theme is now the default (available on or after Nov 21)
IBM's continued focus on design and simplicity has resulted in a new theme for Connections Cloud. Up until now, IBM Verse users automatically see the new theme, but other parts of Connections Cloud did not have the new theme unless you, the organization administrator, enabled it.
