New This Week In Hive: June 5, 2023

1. Form submission page update

Currently, when users submit a form, an image of Buzz the Bee appears. While we do love bees (if you can't tell), we understand this doesn't always fit every team's context.

To keep a more uniform look, we have changed the form submission page to a display a standard checkbox image instead.

Thank you to Scott from Macon Construction for requesting this feature!

2. Orange notification bubble when @mentioned

Many teams have a group chat for every project or group in their workspace, making notifications overwhelming at times. Now, users have the option to only see the orange notification bubble if they are @mentioned or if @group is used.

This will help minimize distraction from multiple group chats, allowing you to spend more time prioritizing your work on a project rather than scrolling through messages.

To edit your notification preferences, go to Notification settings in your profile picture dropdown. From here, select your preference under the "Messaging" section.

Thank you to Meisha from Marketing for Change for requesting this feature!

3. 'Manager' column in Approvals log

Currently, users are unable to see a report of each Timesheet user's manager anywhere in Hive, making it difficult to follow up with outstanding approvals.

Now, users can see all outstanding Approvals each manager has, providing more visibility into their workspace's reports. Find your Approval log by going to Hive Apps -> Time-tracking and selecting the clipboard icon in the right-hand corner.

To edit your Manager, go to "Edit profile" in your profile picture dropdown.

Thank you to Nicolas at Zilliant, Tenaye at TDW+Co and Albert at Tabush for voting on this feature!
