New Features

  • Global Search

We now have implemented Global Search in Mapal One. This will initially cover 3 areas – Noticeboards, Engagement News & Forums and People. Users will be able to search from a central point in these area.

Why this Matters

This matters because Global Search lets users quickly find  items on the platform, saving time and hopefully reducing frustration. It will surface relevant results in one place, improving efficiency and engagement.

Benefits

  • Faster access to information: Users can find exactly what they need without navigating through multiple menus or pages, improving efficiency.
  • Improved user experience: A single, intuitive search bar reduces frustration and aims to make the platform feel seamless and easy to use.

Improvements

  • Workbooks & Appraisals Question Card Updates

We have redesigned question cards to improve readability, usability, and overall visual appeal within the platform.

Why this Matters

We are hoping that the redesign will create a clearer, more intuitive experience for all users.

Benefits

  • Clearer readability: Streamlined layouts help users absorb information and respond more quickly.
  • Better usability: Actions and next steps are easier to understand and act on.
  • Updated look and feel: A modern design that reflects our platform’s evolving style and vision.

  • Hide Required by You Carousel if Complete

We have now ensured that if everything in Required by You is completed then this carousel will be hidden until there are new items.

Why this Matters

The Required by You carousel once completed takes up space on a busy dashboard, hiding this until there is items available will give the user space to navigate around the platform and potentially will encourage exploration of other areas in the platform. 

Benefits

  • Improved user experience: Makes interaction with the dashboard cleaner and less cluttered
