04 October - Redirect after login

This article is from before the rebranding to SelfGuide. Text and images can include the old product name ProductivityPerformer or its abbreviation PP.

SelfGuide is increasingly often opened using a link to specific content, for example an AWI or a chapter in a User Guide. This occurs when users are sharing links, links are stored as favorites or when SelfGuide is integrated in third party applications. We improved this behavior so the user will see the requested content and is not sent to the Home window. Read more about this change and other changes below.

Redirect after login

All content in SelfGuide has a unique URL, giving the ability to directly open the content from a link. In certain situations, the user was sent to the Home window after the required login was finished. This led to confusion as the user does not know which content to search and open. This behavior is improved so the user is always sent to the requested content.

List view (Preview)

List view has received a lot of attention, the below improvements and extensions have been added this release:

  • The context menu is hidden for imported AWIs
  • The owner dropdown in the AWI property modal was incorrect when the property modal was opened from the list view
  • User preferences are stored to reopen your previous used view configuration, these preferences are now deleted when a user is deleted
  • Created date column is added as optional column
  • Last modified date column is added as optional column
  • Last modified by column is added as optional column. Currently, this column displays an e-mail address, in the near future the actual name will be used.
  • Owner column is added as optional column

List view is an upcoming feature, if you are interested and want to know more, feel free to contact gert.kienhuis@selfguide.com.

Feedback overview respects content channels

An AWI added to a content channel is only visible for the users assigned to the content channel. This is applicable for users and editors. To respect content channels, the feedback overview only displays feedback for AWIs visible for the editor. If the AWI is not visible for the editor, the feedback is not visible either.

Show loader after login

After login, SelfGuide shapes the platform for the specific user. During this phase, a white screen was shown, lacking any feedback to the user what was happening. A loader has been added so the user knowns the login was successful and what's happening next.

SelfGuide loader

A loader, based on the SelfGuide icon, is implemented to optimize the look and feel. In a few areas, the old loader is still used, these will be replaced in the future. Some other areas lacked a loader entirely, for example the AWI Library. These now also include a loader.

Application icons

A few application icons have been added:

  • The icon for Nexus is replaced with the official Nexus icon
  • Xential
  • OpenZaak
  • ORTEC Workforce Scheduling

Bugfixes

  • The content channel context menu was not shown when the Everyone channel was enabled but no own content channels existed
  • An infinite loop was caused when opening SelfGuide as guest while an expired token was available from previous usage
  • When switching from guest to a known user, the home window showed the incorrect list of applications
  • The cancel button, shown after selecting a censor area, did not work. The button is fixed and the behavior after selecting a censor area is optimized
