May 2024 Roundup

Advanced Filtering, Enhanced Customization, and LinkedIn Organization Posting

May’s update delivers significant workflow improvements with advanced filtering capabilities, enhanced widget customization options, and expanded LinkedIn functionality. These updates focus on giving you more precise control over your announcement distribution while improving system reliability and performance. Whether you’re managing complex announcement filtering requirements or customizing widgets for specific stakeholder needs, these enhancements make your investor relations processes more efficient and flexible.

New Features

Feature: Advanced Multiple and Nested Filter Groups

Benefit: Create sophisticated filtering rules that combine multiple criteria and nested conditions for precise announcement targeting. Instead of simple single-filter setups, you can now build complex logic like “quarterly reports AND earnings guidance BUT NOT preliminary announcements” to ensure your automation workflows capture exactly the right content for different stakeholder groups and communication channels.

Feature: LinkedIn Organization Posting

Benefit: Post ASX announcements directly from your company’s LinkedIn organization page rather than personal profiles, maintaining professional brand consistency across your social media presence. You can now set specific LinkedIn post authors based on your settings and ensure all investor communications appear under your official company brand, enhancing credibility and maintaining consistent messaging.

Feature: Exclude List for Prebuilt Announcement Widgets

Benefit: Fine-tune your announcement displays by excluding specific types or categories from prebuilt widgets, giving you cleaner, more relevant content for different stakeholder audiences. This allows you to create targeted announcement feeds—for example, showing only material updates to investors while excluding routine administrative filings.

Feature: Enhanced Date Picker Customization

Benefit: Customize date picker start dates, colors, and widget heights to match your brand and improve user experience on your investor pages. These visual enhancements help maintain brand consistency while making it easier for stakeholders to navigate historical announcement data and find relevant information quickly.

Feature: Twitter Filter Configuration Upgrade

Benefit: Access new filtering options for Twitter integration that provide better targeting and control over which announcements get posted to your social media channels. This enhanced configuration helps you maintain appropriate social media presence by ensuring only relevant, stakeholder-friendly content reaches your Twitter audience.

Improvements

Feature: Multi-Select Functionality in Announcement Settings

Benefit: Select multiple announcement types and settings simultaneously instead of configuring them one by one, significantly reducing setup time for complex automation workflows. This improvement makes it much faster to configure announcement presets and integration settings, especially when setting up similar rules across multiple announcement categories.

Feature: Enhanced System Performance and Data Management

Benefit: Improved widget build processes and automatic log cleanup ensure faster loading times and more responsive interface performance. The system now saves content before processing to prevent data loss during technical issues, providing better reliability for your critical investor communications.

Feature: Improved LinkedIn Author Management

Benefit: LinkedIn posts now automatically use the correct author based on your settings configuration, ensuring consistent attribution and brand representation across your social media communications. This eliminates manual author selection and reduces the risk of posts appearing from incorrect accounts.

Bug Fixes

Feature: Enhanced Widget Data Display and Performance

Benefit: Resolved multiple widget display issues including currency cache displays, market code previews, and list rendering, ensuring your financial data appears consistently and clearly for stakeholders. These optimizations improve the robustness of your investor dashboards and enhance clarity for investors when viewing their information.

Feature: Improved User Interface Experience

Benefit: Enhanced font consistency across date pickers and streamlined plan management, creating a more polished experience when navigating ShareLink’s features. These improvements provide a more professional interface that enhances user experience throughout the platform.

Feature: ASX Share Price Graph Display Optimization

Benefit: Share price graphs are now optimized for consistent display across multiple devices, ensuring clear market information presentation for your stakeholders. This targeted approach improves display performance and provides the best user experience when viewing market data on any device.

FAQ

1. How do nested filter groups work for announcement automation?

Nested filter groups allow you to create complex logic combining multiple criteria. For example, you can set up rules like “(Price Sensitive OR Material Change) AND NOT (Trading Halt)” to capture important announcements while excluding specific types. This gives you precise control over which announcements trigger different automation workflows.

2. What’s the difference between posting from a personal LinkedIn profile vs. organization page?

Organization posting displays announcements under your official company LinkedIn page, maintaining professional brand consistency and ensuring all stakeholders see communications from the same official source. Personal profile posting appears from individual accounts, which may not provide the same level of corporate credibility.

3. How does the exclude list work with prebuilt announcement widgets?

The exclude list allows you to remove specific announcement types or categories from displaying in prebuilt widgets. This is useful when you want to show only certain types of announcements to specific audiences—for example, excluding administrative filings from an investor-focused announcement feed.

4. Will the new filtering capabilities affect my existing automation rules?

No, existing automation rules will continue working as configured. The new multiple and nested filter options are additional capabilities you can choose to implement when you want more sophisticated filtering logic. You can upgrade your existing rules gradually as needed.

5. Do the Twitter filter configuration upgrades require any setup changes?

The new Twitter filter options are available in your existing Twitter integration settings. You can access the enhanced configuration options immediately, but your current Twitter automation will continue operating with existing settings until you choose to modify them.

6. How does the multi-select functionality speed up announcement configuration?

Instead of selecting and configuring announcement types individually, you can now select multiple types at once and apply the same settings to all of them simultaneously. This is particularly useful when setting up similar automation rules across multiple announcement categories, reducing configuration time from minutes to seconds.

7. What happens if there’s a technical issue during content processing now?

The system now saves your content before processing begins, so if there’s any technical interruption, your content and settings are preserved. This prevents data loss and ensures you don’t need to recreate content or configurations if processing encounters an error.
