Improved sign-in experience

The security pop-ups that appeared periodically and when performing some actions have been removed.

For which users?

All users, either with a Google or a Microsoft account.

Why it’s important

We got a lot of feedback about how unsettling these pop-ups were. You have been heard!

From new views, it is now possible to select several documents and download all their attached files at once.

For which users?

All users, either with a Google or a Microsoft account.

Why it’s important

This feature has been requested by many customers. An alternative was available in the form of the Batch Actions bookmarklet, but the new feature is built-in, doesn’t require any setup, has higher thresholds in terms of file number and size, and is available for all storage platforms (Google Drive, Google Cloud Storage, and Azure Blob storage).

Availability

All AODocs customers


Receive notifications in Google Chat spaces

AODocs can notify any of your Google Chat spaces each time an AODocs document needs attention – for example, when an offer needs to be reviewed, a contract has been signed, or even when you want to send a notification on demand.

For which users?

Users with a Google Account.

Why it’s important

Some business documents might require special attention at some point in their life cycle. AODocs can send important and time-sensitive notifications directly to Google spaces to make sure users don’t forget when an action is required.

AODocs has been able to send notification emails for a long time. We’re taking the feature to the next level, by bringing notifications to your Google Chat spaces, where business teams can receive notifications about pending actions, then access the document and trigger a validation. 

Availability

A specific subscription is required.

Enjoy an enhanced search experience and other features with revamped views (beta)

We’re continuing to rebuild AODocs views, and the new version includes extensive visual enhancements and additional features. In release 62, new views now sport:

  • the possibility to act on folders from the main action bar, some actions being available in bulk: Rename, Edit permissions, Move, Export, Delete
  • filter by Geopoint – all filter types are now available
  • preservation of a selected folder or category in the Browse by panel when switching between views

With release 63 (the next after this one), the new view page will be complete and set as default for everyone. Users will still be able to switch back to the legacy view page for at least one more release.

For which users?

All users

Why it’s important

Views help users organize and browse their documents, so it’s important for these functionalities to be efficient. Our aim with the revamp is to:

  • improve the user experience
  • enhance performance and search capabilities
  • provide end users with customization options so they no longer have to fully rely on library administrators to configure views
  • improve the overall display of views to fit with the previously revamped AODocs interface

Additional details

Each user can switch between the legacy and beta versions of views. Your feedback is still welcome, the feedback form is still available next to the button to switch versions!

Availability

All AODocs customers.

Note: To activate new views by default for your users, or to opt out of deploying the beta version of views on your domain, contact our support team at: support@aodocs.com.


Visualize your data as organizational charts

A new feature, AODocs Charts, lets you display charts based on the relations between your documents.

The use cases are many: entity ownership organizational charts, HR management charts, structure of product components, etc.

Improvements and bug fixes


And there’s more brewing…

We’re working on a new search engine that will improve responsiveness and relevance of results, as well as allowing for new ways of searching for documents and attachments.

We’re adding user-friendly support in AODocs for Google attachments which are Client-Side Encrypted, so the user experience is smoother when working with these sensitive files.
