Next to the Activity Stream, Email notifications is a handy features to keep up to date of the activity in your intranet. When you’re subscribed to email updates for a page, you’ll automatically receive an email when it is updated, or when a new comment or form is submitted. When you’re subscribed to many pages though, the amount of notification emails can sometimes become quite overwhelming. If you like to receive notification updates, but find you’re getting too many emails, this new feature is for you.

Today we’re releasing a new feature: email digests. Once you turn on email digests, rather than receiving a new email for every update, you’ll receive a daily summary of all notifications. Like before, you can subscribe to just the pages you’re interested in, and all updates for those pages will be included in the digest email.

You can turn the daily digest emails on or off under Settings > Notifications > Enable daily digest emails.

To keep the digest emails shorter, the full details of changes to a page are not shown. You can still quickly access the changes with the direct view changes link, showing you the changes like before:

Hope you like this new feature, more coming soon!

Today we’re relasing a big update to forms. The form results page has been completely redesigned, and now allows you to view your form records in different views. By default, records are shown in a table, like before. The table view has been updated and the columns can now be resized. Using the new view settings (View & Reports > Change view defaults), you can also hide the columns you don’t need. Next to the table and list view, we’ve also added two new record views: thumbnail and calendar view.

Creating reports and filtering form records also became easier: in the filter panel (View & Reports > Show filters), you can now select filters and immediately see the matching records, without having to create a new report first.

We’ve also added pagination, to make it easier to browse forms with many records.

Finally, we’ve also introduced a new option to turn forms into more complete web apps, which we call Apps mode. When Apps mode is enabled, a new page is automatically created when a new form is submitted, using the form page as a template. This way each record can be viewed on a separate page. Like any other page, you can then add additional widgets such as related documents or a discussion to each page in the app. This is especially useful if you want to organize information with a certain structure, but need the flexibility to add related information later on. For example, you could create a form to create contacts, described by a number of fields (a name, an address, and so on). With app mode enabled, when a new contact form is submitted, a new contact page is created, based on the form template. You can then add related information, files, discussions and other widgets to the contact page. You can find more information and a demo video at Papyrs Apps.

Another quick update today: we’ve now added the ability to quickly move pages between categories, as well as moving categories themselves.

To reorganize your pages and categories, go to the Pages overview, and select By Category. You’ll now find a little drag handle on the right side of each page. To move a page to another category, just drag the page by its handle, and drop it on one of the categories in the category tree on the left. Note that users can only move a page if they are the creator of the page, or an administrator.

We’ve also made it easier to quickly re-arrange your category structure, without having to change the category for each page individually. In the Pages – By Category overview, click the “move categories” link (note that this option is only available for administrators). You can now drag a category in the category tree, and drop it onto another category. For example, we can move the “HR Forms” category to the “Employees” category: all pages and sub-categories of HR Forms are now moved to Employees.

We hope you like the new feature, more soon!

Today we’re introducing another way to organize your pages: tags. With categories you can already hierarchically structure your pages, just like folders on your PC or Mac. Sometimes however, you might want to group, search and browse pages by additional keywords. This is where tags come in. You can assign multiple tags to each page, so that allows you to browse and find pages by all kinds of keywords. For example, you could add tags to describe some status, responsibility, status, type of document, and so on.

To add tags to a page, go the page’s Page Settings, and click the add tags link:

Just enter a list of tags, separated by commas, or select existing tags from the dropdown menu.

You can browse tags by pages under the Pages Overview:

Administrators can also delete and rename tags. Note: unlike categories, which are only visible if a user has access to at least one of its pages, all tags are visible to all users in your team. As always, the pages within the tags are of course only visible to people who can access them.

Just like categories, you can also pin a collection of pages with a certain tag to the menu bar. Just go the menu editor, and add a Tag Menu.

We hope you like the new tags feature, more is coming soon!
