Our goal? Take the best of both worlds to enhance you task and project management, and make sure members can navigate their work effortlessly!

🗓️ Transfer agenda when closing a meeting
We've made managing unprocessed agenda items when closing a meeting more straightforward, by:
Clarifying the impact of closing a meeting on unprocessed items: it now clearly states that items go back to their owners' Inbox.
Making possible for the Secretary to transfer all remaining unprocessed agenda items to another meeting of the recurrence.
Showing what meeting agenda items have been transferred to, directly on the meeting report.
🗓️ Order agenda items
Being able to prepare meetings, by adding agenda items and organizing them is a must! That's why we've made significant changes to help you get your meetings ready:

As the meeting Secretary, use the drag'n'drop feature to order the agenda while the meeting is open.
🌐 Improvements on Chart layout
Following the release of the new chart layout, we've received a lot of feedback from our users, and we thank you for that! 🙏
Our goal is to continuously improve your chart, acting quickly on your inputs, so all organizations can get the best visualization possible.
So far, we've adapted by :
Adding a white border on the circle names to make them easier to read despite sometimes overlapping.
Show the roles on the deeper levels for organizations that need it.
Improve display to make roles show in a cluster, and for the overall layout to be more visually "clean".
Share your thoughts on these changes with us, using the Share feedback button at the bottom right of your chart. 😊
🔗 Jira integration update
Jira provides services through two products that can be integrated with Holaspirit : Cloud and Server. Since the 15th of February 2024, Jira has put an end to their Server products and apps. However, no changes have been made to the Cloud product and apps, still supported and serviced to this day.
Originally, the Holaspirit integration with Jira, was set up to support Jira's two product types: Server and Cloud. To adapt to Jira's changes, we have updated our integrations only to support Cloud products.
Integration update launch scheduled on the 28th of March
📌 What does it mean?
Server support has been be removed from Holaspirit's Jira interation.
Only Cloud is supported by Holaspirit's Jira integration.
The integration activation is simplified.
We use the latest version of the API (more effective for matching users for example)
📌 How does it impact me?
All circles currently on Cloud only need to re-activate the Jira integration on Holaspirit so it's up to date and usable.
All circles currently on Server, need to migrate to Cloud and disable and re-activate the Jira integration on Holaspirit to keep using it.
👉 No data will be lost in the process, only the link between holaspirit and the external tool is updated.

Chart layout is spread to optimize display, no more lost space.
Zoomed-in views of the chart have their own URLs and are persistent: if you go to another app or refresh the page, you'll find your way back to where you were.
Navigation performance is smoother and faster due to the changes above.
🗓️ Clear Meetings display
We've enhanced the group-by-circle meetings view to make it easier to identify meetings to work with and the ones coming up.
The Today and Missed sections are always displayed at the top for easy access.
Only Future meetings are groupes by circle and can be expanded/collapsed.
The view is persistent: collapse the circles you don't wish to see, and they'll remain.
