Version 3.0 (Aug 8, 2011)
harmon.ie 3.0 introduces social documents, which connect SharePoint documents with the people who collaborate around them.
With the new social features added in harmon.ie 3.0, users can connect with co-workers and follow their business-related updates via a new People tab, in the email sidebar. The new tab provides the following views of colleagues:
- Recent – shows the people with whom you recently interacted.
- Colleagues – shows the people selected as your co-collaborators.
- Updates – provides activity stream of your colleagues, as well as changes made to documents you follow.
- Search – helps you find people in your organization.
New features for harmon.ie 3.0 include the following:
- An activity stream providing both document and people status updates, marking the first time that a multi-threaded activity stream format has been incorporated into email.
- The ability to open documents as well as view detailed user profiles from the activity stream, allowing users to perform these tasks without leaving the email interface. This reduces context-switching distractions that decrease productivity and collaboration.
- One-click phone, chat, videoconference and/or email connectivity to colleagues from the activity stream, including support for Microsoft Lync™/OCS, eliminating the need to change windows to initiate communications.
- A ‘suggested colleagues’ feature that helps users expand their enterprise social graph by recommending additional connections based on their contact history including email, chat, and people updating documents in followed locations.
- Advanced Favorites dialog allows you to follow the changes made in your favorite SharePoint libraries.
- Version history now includes information about the people who changed the document.
- Moving e-mail messages to SharePoint. Hold the alt key while dragging e-mail messages to SharePoint, to delete them from your Inbox upon a successful upload.
- Editing properties of multiple documents – Select multiple documents and/or folders, open the Properties window, and edit the properties of all documents simultaneously.
- Connect to Office – Add the document libraries defined via the SharePoint ribbon button Connect to Office to harmon.ie favorites.
- Hide subsites with limited or no access – harmon.ie now hides SharePoint subsites for which you do not have access permissions. You can use the harmon.ie options to show these subsites.
- harmon.ie SDK – A new SDK enables you to tailor harmon.ie and develop modules that manipulate the items uploaded to SharePoint.
- Roaming profiles support (in Enterprise edition only).
