You can work together on Wikis with other project members by changing your Wiki’s permission settings. You can also format your Wikis in various ways in the Wikis Tools and Wiki’s Page Properties section.

Click on the post and select the Post Tools tab in your Company News section to change an update into an Announcement or Must Read post.
  • Pages: There are Company Pages and Department Pages. When setting up your Company Intranet you can create Company Pages for it. They are typically used to communicate information that doesn’t change very often, such as company policy, company management, company locations, and so on. Department Pages are used in the same way, but they are accessible via the Departments section rather than the Intranet.
• User Types
  • Guest Users: Guest Users can be invited to a Group or Project by Network Users. They are members who do not have access to information outside of the Project they belong to. Guest Users can be suppliers, contractors, or other collaborators who are not already part of your network.
  • Network Users / Colleagues: Network Users are members of your MangoApps Domain. Network Users are in most cases your colleagues. Network Users count towards your monthly or yearly subscription cost.
  • Project / Group / Department Members: When you join Projects, Groups, and Departments in MangoApps, you will have Project, Group, and Department members — other users who are also a part of the “team” you joined. These members have access to the information and updates you add to the Groups, Projects, and Departments you share.
  • Network Administrators: Network Administrators have access to the Admin Portal. They can change a variety of Domain wide settings. They can add and remove users, create new projects and groups, manage the security settings of the network, and much, much more. Network Admins can create additional Network Admins in the Admin Portal.
  • Intranet Administrators: Any Network User can be made an Intranet Administrator by a MangoApps Network Administrator. Unlike a Network User, an Intranet Admin can personalize their company Intranet’s look and layout. They can create posts, announcements, and have other Intranet managerial privileges.
  • Project / Group Administrators: These users have the ability to customize the workspace they are admin of. Project / Group Admins can set the permission levels of the workspace, select which modules are shown, and create announcements.
  • Department Administrators: Department Admins have the ability to add new members, create pages in the department, and determine the modules used.
• Document Viewer: MangoApps comes equipped with a built in Document Viewer which can open more than 50 file types, including DOCX, PPT, XLS, and more. You can zoom in, view, and copy information from documents inside MangoApps.

For Advanced  Users & Administrators:

• User Portal: The User Portal is where users spend most of their time. The Activity Stream, Departments, Intranet, and pretty much everything else users use is part of the MangoApps User Portal.
• Admin Portal: From the Admin Portal you can change settings and manage almost every aspect of your MangoApps. There you can reset passwords, change email addresses, activate and suspend users, assign Departments, change security settings, and much, much more.
• Trackers: These modules can be enabled in any workspace. They are used to create forms, store data, and initiate workflows.
• Idea Committee: An Idea Committee is a group of users designated by Network Admins to review Ideas that are submitted. This group will determine if any next steps should occur or if the idea should be deferred. These users have the ability to change the status of each Idea submitted and have full visibility of the process.
• Organizations: Network Admins can arrange their employees, based on collaboration needs, into special units called Organizations. There are two types of Organizations in MangoApps, Type 1 and Type 2. Companies can use Organizations to improve security and administration in MangoApps.
• Organization Admin: Organization Admins can be appointed to manage different Organizations by Network Admins. Organization Admins can approve new Organization members and access special information and Organization settings.
• Deactivated Users: There are three types of Users: Network Users under a paid membership, Network Users under free subscription, and Guest Users under free or paid subscription. All three can be deactivated by Network Administrators. Guest Users can be deactivated by both Project Admins and Network Admins.
• Left-hand Navigation: Your fully-customizable Navigation is where you’ll find all modules. Personalize your left-hand navigation with any modules, personal apps, or external links for easy access.
• Office Card: An Office Card grants users quick access to other colleagues’ information. To open the office card, click directly on the picture of a colleague.
• Presence / Custom Status: In the lower right corner of your screen, you’ll see a My Status tab. The tab will indicate whether you’re online, offline, or busy. You can change the status of your Presence by clicking the tab and selecting either online, offline, or busy.
• Sync: Once the Windows or Mac Desktop Client has been enabled, all files have the ability to sync to your local device. This will automatically update any time you connect to the internet.
• Locations: Adding ‘Office Locations’ allows you to share information about each office (hours of operation, address, etc…), as well associate employees to the appropriate location. In combination with the ‘Holidays’ module, you can ensure employees see the appropriate holidays for their region/country.
