Cliq 5.0 | Advancements in the Admin Panel

Dear Cliq Admins,

We understand your dedication and effort to keep your organization running smoothly. We recognize the challenges of your role and are here to help lighten the load. That's why we're excited to introduce a few new admin panel features as part of the Zoho Cliq 5.0 release. Let's delve into these new features designed to simplify your work and enhance your administrative capabilities.

 eDiscovery and data retention 

Protect your organization’s data and assets with eDiscovery and data retention policies. These are necessary for compliance audits, lawsuits, and intellectual property theft, as you can quickly locate and provide the required supporting evidence.

Audit Trails

Audit Trails are your key to swift and precise oversight. Get a snapshot of all user activities across chats and channels at a glance, and maintain a record of all critical actions performed by specific users across different modules or conversations.

Usage reports

Communication tools get their effectiveness from how actively people use them. With the all-new usage reports feature, you can measure adoption rates and the hours spent on different modules. It also gives you, the admins, a clear picture of the organization's interactions and how everyone uses Cliq. With these insights, you can refine and enhance your organization's communication.

 Status configuration across the organization 

You can manage your organization's status configurations by customizing the text, setting time limits for each status, and availability of custom statuses.

 Centralized management for your channels 

The centralized management feature gives you better control over every channel within your organization, allowing you to seamlessly perform detailed actions like adding or removing participants and adjusting roles available to a channel admin, all from a single centralized location.


We hope these features simplify your organization's management processes. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all the dedicated admins who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Your efforts and commitment make a significant impact, and we're grateful for your part in making Zoho Cliq better every day. Thank you!

 

With love,

Zoho Cliq Team💙

Then, click on the three dots to open a pop up menu. Here, click on the Reply button and type the reply to the message in the compose box and press Enter.   Voila, that was pretty simple.
