Simpplr Enterprise Search enhancements
Recommended actions
- Recommended actions provide users action suggestions relevant to their searches. Ultimately it enables users to fulfill certain actions/transactions without leaving the search interface. For example, users can now use the search bar to apply for leave, leveraging Workday and Bamboo HR request forms.
Connector filters
- As pricing tiers correlate with ingested data, we will give users better control on how they exclude files. As an example, for Google Drive, we provide filters against file size, file age and file type;
For a different connector like ServiceNow, the main filter is knowledgebase article id. We also provide exclude sensitive files or folders so that these files are not ingested for search (e.g., payroll folder, etc.). Via filters, app managers will have better control of what is being indexed or not for the right data size and for the best search experience.

Advanced audience creation
- We’ve improved the audience creation process to allow multiple attributes and flexible combinations, enabling more precise targeting. Previously, audiences were built using a single attribute type (People attributes, CSV, specific users, or AD groups). Now, admins can define audiences with complex conditions.

Introduction of standard profile field 'License type'
- We are adding a new standard field called ‘License Type’ to distinguish between corporate and frontline licenses for customers using both. This field will be supported across various user provisioning and syncing flows, ensuring accurate license identification. With this enhancement, we lay the groundwork for delivering a tailored experience for frontline users in the future.
- This feature will be slowly rolled out to all customers. You may not see it right away in your environment. We will continue implementing the feature in customer environments over the next few weeks.
- This feature is relevant to customers with both corporate and frontline users.
- As of now, this is completely optional. In a future release, this will be a mandatory selection required.
How does the feature work?
The 'License type' field allows app managers to identify and assign the correct license type to the users.
When a customer has old bundle or a legacy license
When a customer has only corporate bundle/license
-
'License type' field fill not display anywhere in the application
-
Since they only have corporate bundle, all the existing users would be assigned "Corporate" license type
-
Any new user provisioned would have "Corporate" license type
When a customer has both corporate and frontline bundle/licenses
-
'License type' field would be available for set up and provisioning on Manage > Application and Manage > Users screens
-
App managers should provide License type as "Corporate" or "Frontline"
-
As of now, you can provide "Unknown" in case you don't know the license type for a user
-
After a buffer period, "Unknown" will not be allowed. We'll inform you when we enforce the 'License type' values as "Corporate" and "Frontline"
-
'License type' field is supported in all the provisioning and syncing flows

Do Not Disturb (DND)
- The new Do Not Disturb (DND) feature helps organizations manage notifications outside of working hours, promoting compliance and employee well-being. With this:
-
-
App managers can define default working hours for all employees
-
Users can override these settings if permitted by admins
-
The feature is disabled by default
-
Working hour settings apply based on each user’s configured time zone
This feature is recommended for organizations that need to restrict notifications outside of working hours for compliance reasons.

View who can manage a site
- All users with site access can now see which users have been given permission to manage that site. To view who all manages a site, head to the site, then click About > Owners & managers.
Note that this feature will only be available for a few customers in this release, and will slowly be rolled out to all customers over the next few releases.

Recognition enhancements
-
Set allowance timezone
- Recognition managers can set a custom timezone for reward allowances to be distributed in, instead of the UTC based distribution prior. This will allow for better and more useful timing of notifications around allowance balance refreshes. It also, will increase the system resilience and scalability by offsetting the load of distribution across timezones.
-
Backfill historical points
- There is now a way within Recognition & Rewards to import previous user point balances into the system. This will allow users to keep their points between systems and make onboarding more seamless. This will require opening a ticket with the Support team and attaching a CSV in the expected format as there is no way to do this in the UI currently. If interested, inform the Support team to contact our Recognition team with the applicable CSV.

Employee newsletter enhancements
-
Enhanced resend workflow
- Newsletter managers have better control and transparency when handling failed sends.
-
Block auto replies for newsletters

This setting is enabled by default but can be configured for each newsletter, ensuring auto replies are blocked unless you choose to disable it.
-
Show cover images for events
- Events listed in newsletters now include cover images when available.

Share the mobile app
- Our new 'in-app share' feature empowers existing mobile app users to easily invite colleagues to install and use the app. This update streamlines app distribution and boosts adoption through multiple sharing methods (QR codes, SMS, email, native share).
- This feature is for all mobile and frontline users to help their colleagues download mobile the app.
- From the side navigation of the mobile app, you'll see a Share app option. From here, you can share the download link via:
-
- QR code
- SMS/email
- Native share (copy the link and send it through other messaging platforms)
-
Mobile content promotion via QR code
- In addition to the ability to share the mobile app with colleagues, we're also introducing a QR code promotion feature that allows app managers to share content and promote the mobile app by generating QR codes. These codes can be printed on physical materials or shared digitally, enabling frontline employees to scan and instantly access relevant resources or install the app.
This feature is for app managers or promotion managers who wish to promote specific content or mobile app among their frontline employees.
