Administration
IBM Connections (common):
- The New (or Next Generation) theme that was introduced as an optional customization in 4.5 CR 1 is now the default theme in 5.0.
- You can disable @mentions throughout the product.
- External users are supported in version 5.0
Communities:
- In version 5.0 when a user deletes a community, it is not deleted permanently, rather it is moved to a trash area. Provided it is not purged from trash, the community can be restored.
Files:
- Enable Sync for files in the Files application so that users can so work offline with files in the Sync folder and keep them synchronized when others are collaborating on them.
- The Thumbnail view is a gallery of images that represent files. The thumbnail shows the file's status (private, community, or shared externally), sync status, and whether version conflicts might exist. Hovering over a thumbnail image opens its reverse side where file details appear and actions to download and preview are available.
- File Preview becomes available when you click anywhere on the back of the thumbnail to get an advance viewing of the file
Search:
- Adding a new component to an existing index - you can now add new components to the index that were not included when the index was built.
- Adding a service to the search index - you can now update the Search index with data from a newly added service.
- The Search application now provides globalization support by using different dictionaries for different languages.
- In IBM Connections 5.0, you can improve search quality by Boosting search results by tag, title, or recency
