Byond Intranet - Intranet Features

Clear Interface

Making the intranet simple to use by staff is one of the key objectives to any intranet. Our solution presents the intranet menu on the left hand side while presenting interactive features such as news, blog, calendar and quick polls on the homepage.

Customised Design

Our designers are here to assist organisations which choose to customise the Intranet Solution design to make it more engaging to staff.

New Pages at the Click of a Button

In addition to the WYSIWYG interface Byond users can use the integrated Content Manager to intuitively navigate through the site.

New pages can be added or removed at the click of a button and existing pages edited simply by clicking on the page title.

Frontend Editing

To make editing the intranet as simple as possible, we have introduced Frontend Editing. This means Users with editing permission can simply navigate to the page which requires modification and click on the edit icon.

It is as simple as that.

Content Search and Replace

Byond online publisher also contains a search and replace facility to enable wholesale changes of content as required (i.e. change of product name, branch address). 

The system also provides a centralised mechanism for tracking and fixing broken links across the site. These facilities significantly reduce the time required to update the intranet and help to ensure the accuracy of information contained within.

Individual Permission Settings

We recognise the importance of restricting viewing and editing access for users on the intranet. Our Intranet Solution allows permissions to be granted per individual. This means while one user may have access to view the Board Meeting Agendas page, they may not be able to view the Board Meeting Minutes page.

The same principle works for editing, we understand some staff may have permission to modify some pages and not others.

User Logs

If you're wondering if all Board Members have been reading their Board Papers, now you can see the proof.

The User Logs can monitor which pages on the intranet have been viewed by which users, including staff and board.

Latest News

Each organisation uses the Latest News section in a unique way. While some organisations present news related to the organisation, other publish world news or even social news.

The Intranet Solution can also allow comments to be published after the news items. This is particularly useful for topical news items.

Quick Polls

Quick Polls are a great way to connect with staff on a variety of topics. This area can ask staff political questions, industry-related queries or even more informal questions such as "where should our next social outing be?"

All results are stored in the CMS for later reference.

Events Calendar

The Events Calendar on the intranet often displays relevant dates such as public holidays, board meetings and staff meetings.

However, the Events Calendar can display any type of event including staff leave, staff social events, staff birthdays etc.

Staff Directory

We have developed an add-on for the Intranet Solution whereby staff can simply type a fellow staff member's name, and their contact details will be presented.
