The goal of the new Dashboard was to set leading standards for ease of use, speed, security and compliance in enterprise-grade administration.
Complete new user interface design
The new Dashboard features a completely reworked user interface. The design is now fully based on the new corporate design, which we released last summer. Even more important, we simplified and restructured the user interface. The access to the most important tasks of an administrator is faster now, and dependent features are made clearer. Besides some menu items have been newly grouped based on user feedback. There is now also a full-screen mode, that maximizes content and hides the menu.
New level security permissions
To guarantee a fully secure enterprise messaging experience, Teamwire features a secure container, for which a comprehensive set of permissions can be configured for data protection, security and compliance reasons (which are particularly relevant for regulated industries, the public sector and healthcare). Since enterprises have sometimes different security and data protection requirements for e.g. mobile and desktop devices, the new dashboard now provides separate permissions for the different platforms and use cases.
The comprehensive permissions are now available for the mobile app, the desktop app, the web client and for bots. That means an administrator can now set different security policies for an enterprise for a use of Teamwire e.g. on a mobile device and in a browser.
Fine-grain administrator rights
In larger organizations there are often several administrators, that need individual access and configuration rights. So far we have had super administrators, administrators and revisor accesses in the administrator portal, which had different permissions. The new Dashboard allows a fine-grained configuration of rights for each administrator. Basically an administrator can be given edit and read permissions for each menu section of the Dashboard. This gives much more flexibility in the configuration, what an administrator should be allowed to do and what data this person should be able to see.
