  • Compact Mode for Normal View is a streamlined way of stripping down the webpart to its most basic features. Important for putting webparts on pages that already have existing webpart content

These views are now included as default personal tabs in Teams as well as being selectable view types in the config builder

Config builder updates

  • Numerous usability and UX improvements in the Config Builder. The Config Builder should now be the go-to solution for quickly and easily creating a new view for all users. More technical users can still edit the Config JSON for more granular control

  • Added login types such as O-Auth, Custom Login, and Impersonation

    • Instead of searching for container IDs in iManage, the Config Builder now offers automatic source ID querying.
    • Users can choose the source workspace or folder and choose main or sub-containers to set as their primary source.
    • Column properties dropdown will retrieve all the default and custom columns each time they use config Builder
  • Added option to sort contents by default (ascending and descending order)
  • Added source-specific column selection for Tree view
  • Added hierarchical view for the source retrieval dropdown to make it easier for users to discern between similarly named containers

Other updates
