Functionalities
Displaying newsitems, user profiles, and articles
Our intranet platform facilitates the seamless addition of newsitems, user profiles, and articles. These features support the inclusion of PDF documents within newsitems and articles, while user profiles can encompass a wealth of personal and professional data. This comprehensive approach enables efficient dissemination of the latest updates to employees and enhances accessibility to essential resources, such as contact information. Additionally, our customizable options allow for the integration of a slideshow feature atop newsitems, showcasing prioritized content as desired
Social media integration
The homepage of our intranet solution offers the option to prominently display links to your company's Facebook and Twitter / X accounts. Moreover, administrators can select a specific Facebook post and tweet to showcase on this page. Should you prefer not to incorporate social media elements, our General settings page provides a straightforward method to remove these features by simply clearing the relevant fields. Similarly, administrators can opt to omit the FAQ, job openings, and useful links sections from the homepage by leaving these sections blank, ensuring a tailored and clutter-free user experience
Messaging and liking system
Messages can be appended beneath newsitems and articles by users, providing a platform for employees to extend congratulations, offer additional insights, or convey supplementary information related to the content. This feature fosters a collaborative environment, allowing individuals to engage with published materials in a meaningful manner. Furthermore, an integrated like system enables users to express appreciation or acknowledgment by utilizing a simple thumbs-up gesture
Customizable FAQ section
Within the intranet, you have the capability to establish a repository of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) -
a centralized resource designed to address common inquiries posed by employees. This feature streamlines information dissemination,
particularly regarding matters pertinent to the intranet or company-related queries. Notably, the first three FAQ's are prominently showcased on the Home page, ensuring easy accessibility for users.
Furthermore, our system implements role-based permissions, allowing administrators to assign specific rights to individuals across various sections.
In this context, the "faqright" designation empowers designated employees with the authority to create, update, and delete FAQs.
This ensures that only authorized personnel can manage the FAQ section, maintaining its integrity and relevance
Job openings section
When seeking to fulfill a new job role, you have the option to explore candidates externally or internally.
Our job opening section facilitates the creation of job postings visible to employees accessing the intranet.
This serves as an effective platform for promoting internal mobility, enabling employees to discover and express interest in alternative roles within the company.
These job openings are prominently displayed on the Home page, ensuring heightened visibility and accessibility for all logged-in employees.
This strategic placement maximizes awareness and engagement, encouraging qualified individuals to pursue internal career opportunities
Chat system integration
Our chat system provides a versatile platform for colleagues to exchange pertinent business information or engage in informal discussions.
Powered by TinyMCE, the chat interface offers an array of familiar functionalities such as text formatting (e.g., bold text),
image sharing, and emoticon usage, ensuring seamless communication.
Moreover, usergroup management extends to the chat feature, allowing administrators to regulate access based on defined usergroups.
For instance, in the depicted scenario, Specialists are restricted from accessing the channel reserved for Volunteers,
thereby safeguarding the confidentiality of messages within. Further details on usergroup management will be discussed subsequently
Image Gallery
The Image Gallery is an integral component of our intranet, accessible during the creation or updating of newsitems, userprofiles, and articles.
This feature provides a comprehensive view of all uploaded images, facilitating efficient selection and reuse to prevent redundant uploads and
conserve storage space. Additionally, it offers the convenience of referencing previously utilized images, streamlining the content creation process.
To optimize user experience, the option to exclude person images from the gallery is available. This customization enhances clarity and focus,
particularly when searching for images relevant to newsitems and articles. Administrators can easily toggle this
feature on or off via the General settings page
Custom links section for added flexibility
Companies often find the need to incorporate supplementary information into their intranet platform. This may include links to external websites or other resources beneficial to employees, enhancing their access to pertinent information. For instance, administrators might opt to feature notices regarding upcoming events or vital updates relevant to a specific period. This adaptable feature enables customization to meet diverse organizational needs, allowing for the inclusion of multimedia elements such as images and videos to enrich the content
Comprehensive CRUD functionality across all aspects of the system
Various CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionalities are available across different components of the intranet,
encompassing essentials such as newsitems, users, articles, as well as features like images, chat, job openings, and FAQs.
Each of these functionalities is accompanied by specific access rights, which can be assigned to different users based on their roles and responsibilities within the organization.
For instance, while John Doe may only have permission to create newsitems, the admin possesses full access rights,
enabling management of all functionalities associated with the intranet. The assignment of these rights is facilitated
through the PersonsCRUD page, accessible upon logging into the intranet. This centralized approach streamlines user management,
ensuring that access privileges are aligned with individual roles, thereby optimizing efficiency and security within the system
Usergroup management functionality
The usergroup management functionality serves as a valuable tool for controlling access to specific information within the intranet.
For instance, sensitive articles pertaining to finances may need to be restricted to a select group of individuals.
Through the Portal-blocks interface, administrators can create, update, and delete usergroups, and assign users to these groups as needed.
This process is seamlessly integrated into the PersonsCRUD page, allowing administrators not only to manage user accounts
but also to establish the necessary usergroups tailored to the company's requirements. It's recommended to review the tutorial provided
on the page for a comprehensive understanding of how the usergroup system operates, including detailed examples and explanations.
This ensures effective utilization of the usergroup management feature, enabling precise control over information access within the intranet environment
Rapid search functionality

This feature enables users to swiftly locate relevant information across the platform. When search results are displayed, the matched portions of
the content are highlighted in green, ensuring easy identification of relevant matches within news items, user profiles, or articles.
Our search mechanism scans through all pertinent fields efficiently, employing optimized patterns to maintain consistently fast performance.
This ensures that users can quickly find what they're looking for and seamlessly navigate through the intranet platform, enhancing productivity and user experience
