Introducing a new tool – Start page: the Vibe. This is the first page users see when they log in to your Bitrix24. Here, you can gather useful information and set up quick access to various tools. Everything important is in one place, so there's no need to open the main menu. The start page helps new employees learn about the company and get started quickly.
On the Start page, users can:
-
Watch company activities: read Feed posts, track birthdays, and monitor employee activity.
-
Access various tools: read the knowledge base articles, start workflows, and download the Bitrix24 mobile and desktop apps.
Configure and publish the Start page to show it to all employees. Bitrix24 administrators or partners can do this.
