Browser extension (GA)

Stuck in an application? Unsure what the next step is? Wondering what format the company policy prescribes for the input field? Instructions are available, but finding them requires opening SelfGuide and searching for the right one.

The browser extension makes this easier by displaying instructions right alongside the application you're working in. Open the relevant instructions directly, keep them visible, and follow the steps to resolve the situation effortlessly.

After a period of preview and feedback, the browser extension is now globally available in the Chrome Web Store.

Summary of Features:

  • Seamlessly integrated with your SelfGuide environment
  • Smart suggestions for instructions based on the active application
  • View instructions directly in the extension alongside the application
  • User-driven search to find specific instructions
  • Open instructions in a separate browser tab
  • Supports Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome
  • Centrally managed deployment via Microsoft Intune

Note: Due to recent changes, suggestions may work less effectively in older versions of the browser extension.

Add suffix as part of the username

The previously released multi-tenancy feature now allows an email suffix to be used in multiple SelfGuide tenants. The 'New User' section in Settings has been updated to enable specifying both the email prefix and suffix.

Note: This change applies only when using the SelfGuide native identity provider."

Switch tenants before login

Selecting the wrong tenant or entering an incorrect username happens to everyone occasionally. The tenant login page now includes an option to go back and enter a different username.

With this improvement, some unintended edge cases have also been resolved.

REST API notification

The SelfGuide REST API is now globally available and can be accessed when the Advanced Integration add-on is included in the subscription. To ensure information remains aligned, the in-product notification regarding application identities and the REST API has been updated to inform users about the available documentation.
