After recently passing the 50,000 network mark, Yammer has continued adding innovative features to improve user-experience. Today we're pleased to announce two new features:
- Unread message highlighting in web and desktop clients
- Full-text search in the desktop client
Unread Message Highlighting in Web and Desktop Clients
Unread message highlighting, a popular feature of our iPhone application, is now available in the web and desktop clients! After refreshing, users can better keep track of new messages that appear in their feed via a blue dot icon which will appear next to all new messages. A horizontal gray bar will further differentiate the new messages from older ones.
The desktop client will follow the same behavior by highlighting new messages with a light-yellow background.
The read/unread status of your messages is synchronized across all supported clients, so messages you have seen on the desktop client won't be marked as unread on the web or iPhone.
Full Desktop-Client Search Functionality
Users can search for any keyword anytime through the desktop client. With full-text search functionality, Yammer becomes a greater, more invaluable knowledge-base for your company.
Yammer is continuing to develop quickly, and we have multiple projects we are excited about and working on for the near-future. Of course, we want to know what our users think about our new features, so please give us your feedback. If you have any other questions or concerns, visit our help page.
