Intranet name

This is the name of your intranet. It will appear throughout the intranet, including associated emails and the browser tab.

Languages

This is the list of available language that Simpplr supports. Based on what App managers select here, users will be able to choose their default language from a dropdown in their Profile & settings menu.

Note, published content will not automatically be translated for the user if they choose a different language than the one the content was written in. In order to have Pages, Events and Album content translated, you'll need to enable Automated translation (next menu item).

Org chart

The org chart shows your organization's structure and hierarchy. It is visible to all users, and can be found by clicking any user in the People list or via their profile.

Generative AI

This setting powers the Writing assistant tool. App managers can enable or disable the feature for the entire org here.

Automated translations

Simpplr supports automated language translation. The translation is powered by Google Translate.

Content types

Choose which content types will be available across the intranet. At least one content type must be enabled. When disabling a content type, no content is deleted and can be recovered by re-enabling. The three content types are:

Questions and answers setup

Enable or disable the Simpplr Q&A feature.

'Help & Feedback...' emails

In the footer of each page is a 'Help & Feedback' link, allowing employees to leave feedback. Add email addresses of the people who should receive this feedback. You can also choose to share employee feedback with Simpplr to help improve the product experience.

SMS Notifications

SMS notifications are sent to an employee’s mobile phone. When enabled, standard text messaging rates and fees may be charged by the recipients mobile carrier. Select whether these notifications are enabled or not. Users can enable or disable SMS notifications themselves at any time in their Profile & settings menu.

Content and feature promotion

Here you can allow the creation and management of promotional QR codes and app download links.

Calendars

Events can be added directly to employee's calendars. Here's where App managers can enable available calendars for employees to integrate their Simpplr events with. To use a calendar integration, you'll also need to connect your calendar app via Application settings > Application > Integrations > Calendar integration.

Social campaigns

Social campaigns allow your organization to promote itself through your employees' social media accounts. Add a link to your social campaigns index to help your employees understand any relevant policies surrounding sharing company information.
