The Compose Box in MangoApps provides users with quick access to various posting and communication options. Admins can configure the Compose Box settings to customize the user experience by selecting the type of Compose Box and determining which options are available to users.
Admins can choose between two types of Compose Boxes:
Basic: Provides a straightforward Compose menu with customization options.
Advanced: Offers a categorized and structured Compose menu with predefined sections such as Share, Work, Engage, Feedback, and Upload.
By default, domains will have the Basic Compose Box enabled. However, admins can change this setting from the Admin Portal.
To select a Compose Box type, use the Type dropdown menu to choose between Basic or Advanced.
The selected type will be reflected in the user portal for all users, including guest users, once the settings have been saved.
If the Basic type is selected, admins can further refine the Compose Box by choosing which options are visible and which are placed under the More dropdown.
Click the Configure button next to Customize compose.
The Customize Compose Options pop-up will appear.
In this menu:
The left section (Always visible actions) contains items that will be immediately accessible in the Compose Box.
The right section (Actions under 'More') holds items that users can access by clicking a "More" option.
Drag and drop items between the two sections to customize visibility.
Click Save to confirm changes.
In the Advanced Compose Box, actions are categorized and placed under relevant sections.
Actions are grouped into categories, and each category has a description.
Clicking on a category displays the actions within it. Then, clicking on an action will bring up its respective compose pop-up. If there are too many actions in a category, a scroll option will appear.
If all actions under a category are disabled, the category will not be shown.
Currently, actions cannot be edited or reordered.
Admins can define who has access to the Compose Box by selecting an option from the Show compose to dropdown menu:
Everyone (default)
Domain & Intranet admins & specific people
Domain & Intranet admins & specific people & a user segment
Click Save after making changes.
