TeamLab have announced this month that they have introduced some additional options into the Documents module that will make working with project related documentation more convenient for its users.

The new improvements include updates to both the interface and the functionality for the management of files and documents to make related tasks quicker and easier. 

So, what differences will Teamlab users see as a result of these new improvements?

Within their Teamlab portal, users will see that areas of the interface have been improved:

• The display area for the workspace has been increased from its original value to a size of 1000 pixels in width
• Two different display modes are now available and these are ‘standard’ and ‘compact’
• A new filter has been included that will let users search for specific documents to meet set criteria and also to sort documents and files
• A new set of drawing tools has now been included  and offers a full set of paint tools, letting users work with a lines, text, figures and schemes and a pour tool for shape filling, along with the facility to import images

From a documents perspective, a number of new improvements are now available and cover the following:

• Files and documents that have been either created or updated recently now have an associated ‘new’ icon displayed.  This lets users home in on the most recent information and clearly identify new project documentation
• Documents and files can now be shared with other users quickly and simply, with a single click – these will then show in the ‘shared with me’ folder making them difficult to miss!
• Documents and files can now be shared with users who are external to your portal – so they don’t need to be registered to get access.  This means customers and suppliers, for example, can see your documents, as appropriate, without having to give them access to your more private project information.   Access can be given either on a read only or an update basis, giving real flexibility over who can see and modify project-related information.

Teamlab is encouraging its users to try out these changes within the documents section of their portals and are keen, as always, for any feedback.
