At its core, Kin is a task management system for employees and HR/Operations folk. One of the most important and popular requests has been to improve task management by adding due dates. Well, ka-zamm-pow-bang! We just released due dates on tasks and files, along with some other really nice refinements to the file management feature in Kin.
Due dates on files
Setting due dates for files is easy-peasy! You can set a due date when uploading a new file or by editing an existing one. Even better is you can have multiple due dates for a single file! So if Lana needs to complete the file by Monday, but Brandon has until Friday, you can assign them individual due dates.
Assign file due dates to individuals or groups of employees.
Send email reminders to employees based on due date.
Due dates for tasks
Just like with files, you can set a due date when creating a new task or add one to tasks that you’ve already created.
Want to view all outstanding tasks due on a certain date? Now, you can filter the task page by due date to see the outstanding tasks.
Friendlier files
We also did some spring cleaning to Kin’s files feature. It’s revved up performance, and improved the design of a feature you use almost every day.
Small, but mighty UX updates
A few smaller updates were made to tighten up the experience of files that make a huge difference! Now you can see all of your company files in a list view, and sharing files with employees has a more straightforward approach to easily see who has access to which files. Additionally, employees can now see and sort their files based on the file categories created by HR Managers.
Faster than a speeding….Kin file!
After some maintenance “under the hood” of the files section, the upload time is now up to 2x faster! Your files will now immediately upload and you’ll notice a new progress bar to show the status of the upload.
Until next time
That’s it for now, but you’ll hear from me again soon! In addition to improving these latest improvements to Kin, we have some really nice new features coming down the pike too, so stay tuned!
