Release Notes - July 27, 2023

Improvements:

  • Removed the language filter when searching posts in the Company Portal, MS Teams, and SharePoint web parts. Now users can simply search any language string and the appropriate results will be returned.

  • We extended the summary/description text limit to 300 characters on Event cards in MS Teams to align with the other platforms.

  • In the user profile sync process, we now have the ability to provide a report if users are missing in the most recent processed file. This can help identify users that are no longer with the organization or even errors in the file export. This functionality is not turned on by default. Please reach out to support@sparrowconnected.com if you would like this feature enabled for your tenant.

Bug fixes:


Admin Portal

  • Topics that had been disabled were still available to select when authoring in the Admin Portal.

  • Newsletter stat charts were updated to show sent items in the thousands using a "K" to ensure the numbers and dates on both the x and y axis are visible.

Newsletter stats

  • Large user profile sync files were periodically timing out so we extended the timeout window to 50 minutes.

  • User profile sync was doing a case sensitive compare on email addresses resulting in some users profile attributes not being updated. We are now doing case insensitive to compare to ensure all users have their attributes updated as expected.

  • We aligned the topic search functionality across the Admin Portal so searching now returns results for both topic groups and individual topics.

    • If searching a topic group, we'll return all topics under the group.
    • If searching an individual topic, we'll return both the topic name and the topic group is in.
  • Periodically, clicking the "Update" button in the Admin Portal would get stuck and spin requiring a manual page refresh. We fixed that.

  • Total subscribers at publish time was included deactivated users in the count. We fixed it so moving forward only activated users at time of publishing are counted.

  • If multiple languages were added to an event before any English text was entered, starting to type in English would input the English text in all added language tabs.

  • User read report from the post insights screen was showing special characters in stead of letters with accents when downloaded.

  • Loading post insights for older posts that didn't contain the new content analysis update would result in a blank white screen until the page was refreshed.

  • Searching users in users and permissions would return results for each individual word/name. We've updated this to search the full string.


SharePoint

  • My Sparrow web part fails to load when a post is opened from a newsletter or post notification.
