Change log

  • Discussion Boards: One of the most asked for features has been discussions independent of the contextual discussions as comments. The new discussions application in Cyn.in is the perfect tool to initiate conversations and fluid knowledge exchange.
  • Video / Audio Streaming: You can now share video and audio content with your team using Cyn.in. Its like having a secure internal Youtube for your organization. Uploaded media can be further embedded into other Cyn.in applications like wikis and blogs.

  • Quick Adder bar:The "Add New" interface in v2.1 was simple but wasn't ALWAYS available. With v3, you can add spaces or content from anywhere, with a click. The Quick Adder bar is always available at the top of every Cyn.in screen enabling you to create new content in a space of your choice. If you are looking at starting a conversation or just asking a question, use the discussion text box to post it without navigating away from the page.

  • Faceted search and filtering: Knowledge workers spend the likes of one day per week searching for people or information - connecting to people through people while looking for answers. V3 introduces faceted search and navigation to speed up information retrieval and allow users to filter down quickly to the answers they need. Faceted filtering allows you to multi-dimensionally slice-n-dice information in a manner that best accommodates your specific needs.
