Formatted Copy&Paste

From now on it is possible to copy & paste formatted text to and from Woost. This enables you to easily connect your manual workflows with Woost or to migrate formatted information to Woost.

Cleaner UI

We created a cleaner UI with less clutter in the header of the WebApp. The header now only contains relevant information like:

  • Left
    Collaboration tools (tabs)
  • Center
    Permission indicator, workspace name, new items and members
  • Right
    A quick filter along with workspace settings

As a result, tags and filters moved in the left sidebar.



Basic Tutorial

To simplify the first steps in Woost, we added a basic tutorial. You
can find it by navigating to the entry page of Woost
(app.woost.space), e.g. by clicking the logo in tho top-left corner.
By clicking the “Show me the basics” button, the tutorial leads
you through your first steps. We hope you enjoy it :-)

Profile Image

Use the profile image feature to add a more personal touch to your collaboration. It also eases identification for your colleagues, e.g. when assigning tasks.

You can access your profile by clicking your name in the top bar. With another click on the paper clip next to your username you can select a profile picture via your file browser.

Exporting tables to CSV (Excel)

Woost offers the ability to export a table using the CSV format. This exported table can then be imported into Excel to use its expressiveness, calculation power or to get business insights.

To export the table, just scroll to the very right of the table view and hit the export button.

New Notification Views

We noticed that our notification view can be improved. People consume information differently – and a notification system should keep that in mined. Therefore, we added a notification stream and improved the previous notification tree view.

Self Experiment: Our experiments with this new system let us again realize that Woost combines communication and collaboration. For us, the notification view worked best with messages while the notification stream satisfied the needs with task and notes.

Left Sidebar: Bookmark Switch and Filter

Based on user feedback - we added a switch to the left sidebar. This switch allows to either list all projects or only bookmarked projects. You can find the switch in the expanded left sidebar above your projects.

Additionally, you can filter in the left sidebar to find a particular projects.

Use HTML and CSS

By using HTML and CSS you can build complex notes, description and Wiki articles. One example is to set up a nice description of a Coaching. By combining them with template automations and variables, you can build pretty designed automation notes.

Hint: The code will be sanitized, so Javescript is not possible.

More template variables and help

We added more template variables and functions that you can use for the generation of items likes chat messages, tasks and nodes in automations. You can find a list of all variables as well as more help by clicking on the robot icon for an automation and then click on the Help in the top right corner.

Copy projects and nodes

If you have a reference project that you used as a template, you can duplicate / copy it by pressing the Duplicate Node button in the settings sidebar. It allows you to manually use a template.

However - for convenience we suggest to use a real automation template ;-)
