What’s new in BlueSpice 4.4?

OpenSearch – our new search engine

Starting from version 4.4, BlueSpice now utilizes OpenSearch, the successor to Elasticsearch, to deliver improved and faster search results. Combined with the upgrade of our search backend and indexing optimization, it is now even easier to find relevant data quickly and reliably.

Mentions & Tasks – Keep track of your tasks

Mention users on wiki pages using the @-symbol to alert people to that content. Or associate those mentions with tasks. The new feature also allows you to create task lists and assign these tasks to individual people with a due date. Tasks specific to you will be listed in your personal task list.

New Content Droplets

BlueSpice 4.4 extends the portfolio of available droplets that can be easily placed on your wiki pages. Use the new elements Task list, Task report, Decision report, Date, Book PDF Link and Book Table of Contents
.
