Expanded manager and user capabilities arrived to assist admins in making smooth workflows and hierarchies within Showpad. Admins can assign one manager to a user or to users in bulk and manage these assignments within Showpad or via SCIM 2.0 provisioning.
Managers who are in charge of groups will exist alongside Direct Managers, who can be assigned easily to users regardless of group status.
This feature is available to all Showpad customers and is a function of user and Coach engagement reports.

Admins can now utilize Showpad’s author property on Showpad Pages. Introducing the author property to Pages also allows private feedback from users to flow to the correct creator of the Page, providing for more opportunities to improve content when needed.
Additionally, the author property helps to keep assets organized and makes it clear who owns what, which is especially useful for organizations with more than one content admin.
Authors are auto-assigned to the user who created the Page, and multiple authors can be added to one Page, with collaboration in mind.
Available for Showpad Content Plus and Showpad Content Ultimate customers.

Available for Showpad Content Plus and Ultimate packages.
