Feature Releases
Teams
Teams allows for seamless cross-departmental collaboration. Departments are a good representation of organizational structures but are not always the best at representing the groups of people who collaborate together. Teams aims to help solve this problem. Use Teams in Tasks, Conversations, People, and Decisions where you would assign a single staff member today.
User Interface (UI) Improvements
Aimed at being responsive, fast, and more accessible, we adopted the latest update of Angular Material. You'll see things looking a little different as we roll out these updates. Some updates will also extend to public-facing portions of Element451, like Forms, Pages, Applications, Events, and Microsites.
