Pré-annonce de la version EGroupware 21.1

Kaiserslautern, 17 mai 2021 – EGroupware GmbH publie la version 21.1 de la solution de groupware du même nom le 25 mai 2021. La nouvelle version comprend des tests à choix unique/multiple et des questions ouvertes dans smallPART, offre une intégration révisée de la téléphonie, un nouveau module Kanban ainsi que de nombreuses améliorations, notamment pour les employés travaillant à domicile.

 

smallPART : Tests et questions à choix unique/multiple

 

smallPART (selfdirected media assisted learning lectures & Process Analysis Reflection Tool) est une application pour l’apprentissage par vidéo. EGroupware GmbH développe cet outil en coopération avec l’Université technique de Kaiserslautern. smallPART permet un travail synchronisé directement “dans la vidéo” : les étudiants et les élèves peuvent poser des questions sur le film ou donner leur avis en “temps réel” – en mode sécurisé ou sous la forme d’une discussion publique commune.

Le logiciel d’apprentissage par la vidéo fait partie d’EGroupware depuis la version 20.1. Avec la version 21.1, smallPART intègre des tests à choix unique/multiple ainsi que des questions ouvertes, et peut également les évaluer automatiquement. Cet outil est donc idéal pour la formation et les examens, dans les écoles, les universités et les autres établissements d’enseignement.

Grâce à LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability), smallPART interagit bien avec d’autres systèmes de gestion de l’apprentissage (LMS) comme Moodle, OpenOLAT et Ilias. Dans le cadre d’EGroupware, smallPART prend en charge l’authentification SAML et l’authentification unique. Ainsi, les étudiants peuvent accéder à smallPART via le LMS de leur établissement d’enseignement respectif.

 

Nouveau module : Tableau Kanban

 

EGroupware 21.1 est livré avec un tout nouveau module Kanban qui s’intègre parfaitement à la solution de travail collaboratif. Il visualise les données déjà existantes de certains des autres modules du collecticiel, par exemple, le gestionnaire de tâches, le système de billetterie et le carnet d’adresses.

Pour l’instant, le tableau Kanban offre des fonctionnalités de base : définition des droits d’accès, création de colonnes, déplacement des cartes par glisser-déposer et mise en place de couloirs de circulation. Les utilisateurs peuvent également définir des dépendances, surveiller les cartes et configurer des notifications automatiques en cas de certains événements. Les utilisateurs peuvent donc créer des flux de travail individuels et adapter le tableau à leur propre façon d’organiser leur travail.

 

Intégration téléphonie-informatique (CTI)

 

Autre nouveauté d’EGroupware 21.1 : l’intégration de la téléphonie par ordinateur, qui permet de coupler les téléphones et les ordinateurs, qu’il s’agisse d’un softphone ou d’un téléphone de bureau. Grâce à cette nouvelle fonctionnalité, les utilisateurs peuvent lancer et terminer des appels téléphoniques ou des conférences à partir d’EGroupware, transférer des appels ou même les contrôler avec d’autres applications EGroupware.

Par exemple, le calendrier affiche la liste des appels, et le module CRM ouvre le contact correspondant. En outre, il est possible de créer des feuilles de temps des appels après coup et ainsi, par exemple, de documenter les demandes d’assistance à la fin de la journée.

La nouvelle intégration de la téléphonie crée une plus grande proximité avec les collègues dans le bureau à domicile, car EGroupware indique maintenant si quelqu’un est actuellement au téléphone – presque comme dans un bureau partagé. Cette fonctionnalité est réservée aux clients abonnés et fonctionne actuellement avec Placetel. Il accède à l’API du système et peut également coopérer avec d’autres fournisseurs si leur interface le permet.

 

Amélioration du serveur Push et du Dark Mode

 

Le serveur push introduit avec EGroupware 20.1 met à jour les fenêtres du navigateur en temps réel. Alors que la version précédente permettait de synchroniser le calendrier, le gestionnaire de tâches et les feuilles de temps, la nouvelle version prend également en charge le système de tickets, le carnet d’adresses, le nouveau module Kanban et la liste des appels. Les développeurs prévoient de connecter les autres modules de groupware au service de poussée également.

Les utilisateurs de Mac devraient être familiarisés avec cette fonction : En mode sombre, la palette de couleurs de l’interface passe à un aspect plus sombre qui peut être agréable pour les yeux et permettre aux utilisateurs de mieux se concentrer. EGroupware 21.1 dispose d’un mode sombre, et les utilisateurs peuvent soit changer manuellement et cliquer sur l’icône, soit configurer le collecticiel pour qu’il sélectionne automatiquement le mode en fonction de l’heure de la journée.

 

Pare-feu applicatif et partage de fichiers

 

Outre l’authentification à deux facteurs, la protection contre les attaques par force brute et la possibilité de définir des règles de mot de passe ou des périodes de validité, EGroupware propose désormais un pare-feu. Les administrateurs peuvent l’utiliser pour limiter l’accès à un minimum et définir, par exemple, des règles de connexion (heure, jour de la semaine), l’origine (réseau, adresse IP) et l’appartenance à un groupe ainsi que le 2FA. En combinaison avec l’accès au serveur de fichiers et le protocole de bureau à distance via EGroupware, une connexion sécurisée pour les travailleurs du bureau à domicile sans VPN est possible.

Les développeurs ont également revu les capacités de partage de fichiers du gestionnaire de fichiers. Les partages internes peuvent maintenant être rendus disponibles beaucoup plus facilement par email ou par lien et peuvent être inclus de façon permanente dans le répertoire personnel (dossier “shares”).

Pre-annuncio di rilascio EGroupware 21.1

Kaiserslautern, 17 maggio 2021 – EGroupware GmbH rilascia la versione 21.1 dell’omonima soluzione groupware il 25 maggio 2021. La nuova release include test a scelta singola/multipla e domande aperte in smallPART, offre un’integrazione telefonica rivista, un nuovo modulo Kanban e molti miglioramenti, specialmente per i dipendenti che lavorano da casa.

 

smallPART: Test e domande a scelta singola/multipla

 

smallPART (lezioni di apprendimento auto-diretto assistito dai media e strumento di riflessione per l’analisi dei processi) è un’applicazione per l’apprendimento basato sul video. EGroupware GmbH sviluppa lo strumento in collaborazione con l’Università Tecnica di Kaiserslautern. smallPART permette un lavoro sincrono nel tempo direttamente “nel video”: gli studenti e gli alunni possono fare domande sul film o dare un feedback in “tempo reale” – in modalità protetta o come una discussione pubblica tenuta in comune.

Il software per l’apprendimento basato sul video fa parte di EGroupware dalla versione 20.1. Con la versione 21.1, smallPART integra test a scelta singola/multipla così come domande aperte, e può anche valutarli automaticamente. Lo strumento è quindi ideale per scopi di formazione e per l’uso negli esami – nelle scuole, nelle università e in altre istituzioni di apprendimento.

Grazie a LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability), smallPART interagisce bene con altri Learning Management Systems (LMS) come Moodle, OpenOLAT e Ilias. Come parte di EGroupware, smallPART supporta l’autenticazione SAML e il single sign-on. In questo modo, gli studenti possono accedere a smallPART attraverso l’LMS della rispettiva istituzione di apprendimento.

 

Nuovo modulo: Scheda Kanban

 

EGroupware 21.1 è dotato di un nuovissimo modulo Kanban che si integra perfettamente nella soluzione groupware. Visualizza i dati già esistenti da alcuni degli altri moduli groupware, per esempio, il task manager, il sistema di ticketing e la rubrica.

Per ora, la lavagna Kanban offre funzionalità di base: definire i diritti di accesso, creare colonne, spostare le carte tramite drag & drop e impostare le corsie di nuoto. Gli utenti possono anche definire le dipendenze, monitorare le schede e configurare le notifiche automatiche in caso di determinati eventi. Quindi gli utenti possono creare flussi di lavoro individuali e adattare la scheda al proprio modo di organizzare il lavoro.

 

Integrazione telefonica del computer (CTI)

 

Un’altra novità di EGroupware 21.1 è la Computer Telephony Integration, che permette l’accoppiamento di telefoni e computer – indipendentemente dal fatto che sia un softphone o un telefono fisso. Grazie alla nuova funzione, gli utenti possono avviare e terminare le telefonate o le conferenze da EGroupware, inoltrare le chiamate o anche controllarle con altre applicazioni EGroupware.

Per esempio, il calendario visualizza la lista delle chiamate e il modulo CRM apre il contatto corrispondente. Inoltre, è possibile creare fogli di tempo delle chiamate in seguito e quindi, per esempio, documentare le richieste di supporto alla fine della giornata.

La nuova integrazione telefonica crea una maggiore vicinanza ai colleghi nell’home office, perché EGroupware ora mostra se qualcuno è attualmente al telefono – quasi come in un ufficio condiviso. La funzione è riservata ai clienti in abbonamento e attualmente funziona con Placetel. Accede all’API del sistema e può anche cooperare con altri fornitori se la loro interfaccia lo permette.

 

Server Push migliorato e modalità scura

 

Il server push introdotto con EGroupware 20.1 aggiorna le finestre del browser in tempo reale. Mentre la versione precedente teneva sincronizzati il calendario, il task manager e i fogli di lavoro, la nuova versione supporta anche il sistema di ticket, la rubrica, il nuovo modulo Kanban e l’elenco delle chiamate. Gli sviluppatori prevedono di collegare anche gli altri moduli groupware al servizio push.

Gli utenti Mac dovrebbero avere familiarità con questa funzione: In modalità scura, la combinazione di colori dell’interfaccia cambia in un look più scuro che può essere piacevole per gli occhi e consentire agli utenti di concentrarsi meglio. EGroupware 21.1 ha una modalità oscura, e gli utenti possono passare manualmente e cliccare sull’icona o impostare il groupware per selezionare automaticamente la modalità in base all’ora del giorno.

 

Firewall delle applicazioni e condivisione dei file

 

Oltre all’autenticazione a due fattori, alla protezione contro gli attacchi brute force e alla possibilità di definire regole per le password o periodi di validità, EGroupware offre ora un firewall. Gli amministratori possono usarlo per limitare l’accesso al minimo e definire, per esempio, le regole di login (ora, giorno della settimana), l’origine (rete, indirizzo IP) e l’appartenenza al gruppo, nonché 2FA. In combinazione con l’accesso al file server e il protocollo Remote Desktop tramite EGroupware, è possibile una connessione sicura per i lavoratori dell’home office senza VPN.

Gli sviluppatori hanno anche rivisto le capacità di condivisione dei file del file manager. Le condivisioni interne possono ora essere rese disponibili molto più facilmente via e-mail o link e possono essere incluse in modo permanente nella propria home directory (cartella “shares”).

EGroupware comes into version 20.1

EGroupware comes into version 20.1

New perspectives are appearing

The new EGroupware version 20.1 is now available.

EGroupware gets an extension for video-based learning and teaching, for video conferencing and for remote use of company PCs. In addition, two technical innovations make the collaboration software resource-saving and secure.

Kaiserslautern, 12.08.2020 – A new module for EGroupware is “smallPART“. The acronym stands for “selfdirected media assisted learning lectures & Process Analysis Reflection Tool”. With smallPart and EGroupware, teachers can create courses, insert videos – also with annotations at certain points – and describe tasks. On the other hand, learners can comment on these videos at any point or add questions. These annotations can be seen by the teachers and, if approved, also by other students.

External participants receive an e-mail with a link to join the conference. The data connection is encrypted, and as long as the server is located in Germany, there are no privacy concerns. No other tool is required. Jitsi runs in a web browser.

The tool smallPART is the result of a cooperation of working groups of the University of Tübingen and the Technical University of Kaiserslautern. The further development and integration into EGroupware is a cooperation between the TU Kaiserslautern, namely Prof. Dr. Christoph Thyssen and Arash Tolou, and EGroupware. The module smallPART is available free of charge under the GNU Affero General Public License 3.0 and thus in all variants of EGroupware.

Due to the Corona crisis and the necessary changeover to work from the Home-Office, the Kaiserslautern software house has brought forward functions originally planned for version 20.1 and released version 19.1 in April 2020. Now, the integration of video conferencing systems based on “Jitsi” and a further retrofittable module “Guacamole” are available.

On the one hand it is possible to integrate the open source application Jitsi into EGroupware. This combines the functions of the video conferencing solution (video, audio, chat, desktop sharing) with business functions of EGroupware such as scheduled video conferences, inviting participants by e-mail or ad-hoc calls. On the other hand, the Guacamole module accommodates the foreseeable increased use of home office: It allows performance-hungry applications to be used on company desktops and servers from the web browser of private user PCs without requiring an additional license. Access is via VNC/RDP/SSH and is secured with SSL encryption, 2-factor authentication, rights management and brute force protection. The data stays where it belongs: in the company!

The version 20.1 of EGroupware brings a technical innovation that will be gradually introduced into all modules of the collaboration software in the future: the PHP Swoole-based push server, a NodeJS-like technology for PHP environments.
This ensures that the clients are informed about news concerning them without delay. With the integration of PHP Swoole in EGroupware 20.1, the calendar view, including timesheet and infolog, will be updated as soon as someone makes a change, sends an appointment request or enters an appointment.

If a customer uses the email service of EGroupware or has configured his own Dovecot accordingly, he will receive a concise display of the newly received mails with sender, recipient account and subject line without delay thanks to this push technology.

EGroupware GmbH will extend this technique for future versions and make it available for as many additional mail servers as possible.

However, users will not notice anything new in EGroupware: The developers provide the client and Browser-side code from JavaScript to TypeScript. In the opinion of many programmers, TypeScript offers the best solution for more complex applications a better development environment, makes them more productive and reduces error sources.
