    Excel Import

  • It is now possible to import an Excel file with hierarchical information. This is possible by using a column name called Parent ID. Use the new column Parent ID, to determine the hierarchical information for the import function:


  • Configure the column Parent ID:

    The result will be as follows:

    Word publication

  • When publishing a topic without a name, it is converted to a name with four spaces so ordering and numbering is handled correct.

  • Portal

  • We introduce a dedicated Help button for your Portal end users.

    When adopting new users to the Portal you now have a dedicated place, where you can prepare instructions on how to use your Mavim Portal, how to navigate through the content you have prepared for them, and any other specifics you'd like to give to them without having to interfere with the actual content, for instance the homepage. Important information for Portal Administrators: How to use:
    Exactly like you set up the home page.
    You can prepare a topic in the Mavim Manager that acts as the instruction page, publish it, create an external link to the Help topic and, in the Portal Admin settings, elect it as the Help page.


    Tip: By using custom Tabs you can expand on your instructions with videos, or other media to bring your instructions to life.
  • By default, the button will be visible for your end users after this release. When a user clicks on it before you have had the chance to set it up the following message will be shown:


    In case you do not want to use this new function for your end users, you have the option to hide the button, by adding it to Portal Administration > General > Hidden buttons.

    After you have set up the dedicated Help page, you can also lead new users directly to the dedicated Help page with the following direct URL: https://yourportalname.mavimcloud.com/portal/help
