🚨 Global Information 🚨

🔍 Roadmap : New 2025 portal

We are proud to announce the launch of our brand-new roadmap, now accessible to everyone at the following link: https://powell.airfocus.site/intranet/now.

This platform is designed to let you share your feedback on the Powell Intranet product and vote for your favorite features, ensuring that your voice is heard in shaping our future developments.

We highly value your input, so don’t hesitate to explore the roadmap, provide feedback, and cast your votes. Your contributions make all the difference!


📃 Powell API : Update on Endpoint IP Addresses

Subject: 

As part of our continuous service improvements, we are upgrading our architecture. This update will result in changes to the IP addresses associated with the https://apimanager.powell-software.com endpoint.

In line with our recommendations, if you have implemented a whitelist for our services, we strongly advise configuring security rules based on the CNAME rather than fixed IP addresses.

However, if your security rules are currently based on specific IP addresses, please find below the new IP addresses that need to be updated in your security settings.

  • 20.101.254.220
  • 20.101.254.221
  • 20.101.255.14
  • 20.101.250.41
  • 20.101.250.42
  • 20.101.251.19
  • 20.105.232.7

This change will be fully implemented in the next release (28/02), so it's crucial to make the necessary updates before this date.

 

⭐ Foundation Pack ⭐

💻 Page Layout : Improved breakpoint management

We’ve improved breakpoint management for pages that include a vertical section, ensuring that they display correctly on low-resolution screens. This adjustment make content more accessible on smaller devices or screens with lower resolutions.

↔️ Page Layout : Full-width vertical section

It is now possible to add full-width sections when using a vertical section in the layout.

When you enable the vertical section option, a top section will now appear automatically at the top of the page. Within this top section, you will be able to add a fully editable full-width section, giving you greater flexibility in designing your page layout. This update aligns with functionality already available in SharePoint.

Note: Only full-width sections can be added in this configuration.

 

✏️New Edit webpart  : Outlook Events / Outlook Email

We continue to introduce enhanced editing forms for webparts, making customization easier and more efficient. The new forms provide a seamless way to edit event settings directly from the front-end, simplifying the process for users.

  • Outlook Events 

How to display 

Customize how events appear by selecting a display type, setting the number of visible events, enabling pagination, and adding a "See More" button with a custom label.

Manage Outlook Events

Choose the calendar source (user, shared, or group), define how many months to display (max recommended: 3), add a custom Outlook calendar URL, and set the refresh interval (min: 30s)

 

 

 

  • Outlook Email

How to display 

Customize how emails appear by selecting a display type, setting the number of messages to display, enabling pagination, and adding a "See More" button with a custom label.

Manage Outlook Events

Add a custom Outlook URL, and set the refresh interval (min: 30s)

 

🌐 Multilingual in Contribution : Update all fields when duplicating pages

Previously, only four fields (title, description, content, and banner image) were updated during duplication. Now, all fields, including taxonomy and other text fields, can be translated and updated when duplicating pages in contribution.

With this update, all fields will now be translated when duplicating.

 

💌Newsletter : Add documents

You can now seamlessly insert documents directly into the newsletter builder, including files such as DOC, DOCX, XLS, XLSX, PPT, and PPTX. To ensure these documents are accessible, their content must first be indexed through the search.

 

✈️ Boost Pack ✈️

Advanced Search : New filters

To optimize search costs and enhance the precision of research using Advanced Search, we’ve introduced new filters designed to refine results more effectively.

These filters allow users to narrow searches based on specific time periods ( Last 7 days, weeks, and months) and content types, making it easier to find exactly what they need while improving overall efficiency and reducing unnecessary resource usage.
