Hey everyone,

we have implemented certain user-properties/fields (company, location, etc.) as dropdown-menus.
This was done via the API using the OPTIONS type for the fields.
We also added internationalized captions for all the values via the API and they work in the user's profile view.

The captions where added with the key:
USER.VALUES.{Key from options field}

The thing I'm missing is how to show the internationalized captions in the colleagues list because right now, the key from the OPTIONS fields is displayed. I've included screenshots for clarity.

Note that because of the issue, we used german values for the OPTION-Keys as this is our company's default language and fits for most colleagues. For demonstration purposes, I switched to English so the English values should be displayed in the filter.

I'm not completely sure if this is a valid suggestion or if I'm just missing something.
Also, please let me know if you need further details.

Thanks in advance

In the English language version users are correctly indicated that crosslinking from one page to another "might" not work: "Watch out, not all users might be able to see these files."
The German language version of that indication message states, that those files are definitely not available: "Achtung, nicht alle Benutzer können diese Dateien sehen". Clients reported very much irritation to users/editors as this appears to be an ERROR instead of an INDICATION.
We would appreciate that indication message to be changed in the initial language keys to "Achtung, nicht alle Benutzer könnten diese Dateien sehen".
We´re aware, that we can change that in the language keys quite easily, but a permanent change would be very welcome for not changing that in each and every new client installation.
Language key is "FILELIBRARY.OTHERSENDER_WARNING". Thanks a lot!

Via the user community and a workshop which was held last week in our office in Hamburg we gathered some feedback regarding the launchpad. We would like to use the user community to document the feedback, open a discussion and keep you up to speed about the current status of the development.

Basically the launchpad has some good qualities: Customers like being able to administrate it and set global company bookmarks as well as having personal bookmarks, all of it independent from using a browser.

It also has some flaws - most of them having to do with a lack of good user experience and user interface:
- titles are cropped, the space is not used effectively, images take up to much space
- the current launchpad does not work well with large quantities of bookmarks: scrolling is slow, labels and icons are too codensed
- editing of bookmarks is tiring: the option is hard to find and having to change links can be tedious and has to be done manually without a search function. A bookmark that is assigned to multiple categories has to edited multiple times
- Some options (like editing) are very hard to find
- The launchpad is quite hidden which is the reason for many users not to use it

So, we gathered some ideas how to change that:
- Review the user interface and design in general
- Make the use of the launchpad easier (especially with many bookmarks): improve use and display of categories, add search and filters
- Make the launchpad easier to administrate (e.g. the edit button is way to difficiult to find, provide options to copy and move bookmarks)
- Add new ways to sort bookmarks for your need, make it possbile to create your own categories
- Create easier and more personal sorting options, allowing users to tailor the links to their needs
- Direct bookmarking when seeing an element in COYO, e.g. by having a bookmark icon on elements
- Integration with O365 apps

Let us know what you think about this proposal and we'll keep you updated about the progress.
