i-net CoWorkActive

The following information is derived from the plugin description.

Simple and fast communication solution for companies. Enables GDPR-compliant operation through own hosting.

With i-net CoWork, companies have the option of using a GDPR-compliant chat platform in their own company network. All data, messages and attachments remain within the company's own network and can be made securely accessible externally, for example through a VPN connection.

The teams can be structured as desired or based on the departments in the company. Each team (e.g. department) can have its own administrators to allow self-management of the channels. Teams can be public (All users who have permission to access i-net CoWork), or they can be restricted to specific user groups or individuals. Channels are located below teams and initially have the same members. Private channels can be created by team administrators and shared with all or only some members of the team. Organization of information / topics can thus be easily implemented. Communication between 2 users can be done via direct messages. Only the two participating persons have access to these special channels.

By using mentions, which are started with '@', users or also groups can be mentioned. They will receive a notification about the new message in addition to a marker for the message. Using the @all and @online mentions, all users or those logged into i-net CoWork can be mentioned and notified.

Sharing images and files in channels is also possible, as is simple formatting with MarkDown. Attachments can be dragged and dropped or copied and pasted into a message.

i-net CoWork is under continuous development. An integration into maintenance to save messages via backup is already included.

Migration Information

Backups

Backups for MeetUp that were previously configured and used in maintenance are no longer compatible. CoWork must be activated again in the configured backup.

It is recommended to create fresh backups before and after each update.

Changelog Information

  • In the channel list, members have an options menu that can be used to start a direct message or enter a mention in the input field. This is also possible via the context menu of a message.

Fixed Bugs

  • The admin user could not send a bot message if the user had no channel privileges. This was intended to be possible.
  • If i-net CoWork runs within an i-net HelpDesk installation, a new ticket with the content of the message can be created with a menu entry at a message.
  • In the Google Chrome browser, the system's idle detection can be activated in the settings. The "Your device use" permission must then be granted in order to use the detection.
  • Users can react to messages with emojis. The last five emojis are quickly accessible via the context menu.
  • The action "CoWork Online Status" of the Task Planner allows to change the status of the user by e.g. time triggers or CoWork commands.
  • Text files attached to messages get a preview with the first 10 lines. This can be expanded further to show up to 50KB of the file.
  • When pasting text into a new message, it will be added as an attachment if it is more than 4000 characters or 40 lines long.
  • Using the context menu, individual attachments of a message can be removed.
  • Horizontal lines and Markdown tables can be used in message texts.
  • The WebAPI returns reactions on messages and allows to toggle reactions for a logged in user.
  • The WebAPI returns an "Access Forbidden 403" status instead of "Access Denied 401" when a logged-in user does not have access to a team or channel.
  • The WebAPI allows to search for messages using the same syntax as the CoWork application.
  • Scrolling of the messages improved
  • The user's online status is displayed at the messages and at the suggestions for mentions. Displaying the status on the individual messages can be deactivated in the settings.

  • It is possible to reply to messages. The user of the quoted message is automatically mentioned and gets a notification about the reply.
  • Messages, channels and users for direct messages can be found via the global search bar
  • Management of members of teams and channels has been changed:
