Welcome to your new Haiilo platform! Whether you're here to connect with colleagues, stay informed, or contribute content, this guide will help you get started quickly. When you first log in, a guided tour will pop up to help you navigate and get familiar with key features—be sure to follow along for a quick overview. Revisit this article to learn more about navigating through the platform or in case you have questions arising from the tour.
Additionally, this article will teach you the basic principles of Haiilo to help you get a better understanding of the structure. Here's a breakdown of 10 main activities you can engage in as a logged-in user:
Complete Your Profile
Your profile is the first step in establishing your presence on the platform. Add your photo, update your contact information, and include any relevant details about your role or expertise. A complete profile helps your colleagues connect with you and makes collaboration smoother.
Discover Pages and Communities
Start exploring the different Pages and Communities and subscribe to or join those that align with your interests or responsibilities. Whether it's a project team, a department, or a social group, joining Communities allows you to connect with like-minded colleagues and participate in focused discussions. Subscriptions ensure that relevant content appears in your newsfeed, making it easier to stay informed and engaged.
Leverage the Search Function
Finding the information you need is easy with Haiilo's powerful search function. Everything you can access by navigating the platform is searchable. This includes pages and communities, apps and widgets, info from a user's personal profile, and even the content of (uploaded) documents.
Post and React to Content
Haiilo is all about sharing and interacting with content. You can create posts to share updates, ideas, or important information. Additionally, you can engage with your colleagues by reacting to their posts—whether liking, commenting, or sharing their content.
Use Bookmarks
Have you come across something important that you want to revisit later? Use the bookmark function to save content for easy access in the future. Bookmarked items are stored in a dedicated section, so you'll never lose track of what matters most.
Utilize and Customize the Launchpad
The Launchpad is your personalized dashboard for quick access to frequently used tools, links, and applications. You can customize it to include the resources you use most often, making your workflow more efficient.
Manage Notifications
Stay on top of important updates with the notification bell on the navigation bar. Here, you'll find alerts for new posts, reactions to your content, and other relevant activities. You can also adjust your notification settings to ensure you receive only the updates that matter to you.
Connect with Colleagues
Your colleagues list allows you to easily find and connect with others within your organization. Use this feature to build your network, send messages, and collaborate more effectively.
Customize Your Account Settings
Adjust your account settings to tailor your Haiilo experience. For example, change the platform's language to suit your preferences.
Stay up-to-date
Once you've subscribed to pages and joined communities, the timeline on your Homepage will automatically deliver relevant news and updates to you depending on how it's set up. So all you have to do now is regularly check out your organization's intranet and you'll automatically stay up-to-date.
Use the Chat Feature (optional)
Please note that this feature needs to be activated by your organization to be available.
Haiilo's chat feature enables real-time communication with your colleagues. Whether you need a quick answer or want to brainstorm ideas, the chat is a convenient way to stay connected without leaving the platform.
Further Tips & Tricks
- Stay connected on the go with the Haiilo mobile app. Post, react, join Communities, and more, all from your mobile device. If your organization uses the app, download it from your device's app store for seamless access to the platform anywhere.
- For more advanced usage, you can explore how to create your own Community, enabling collaboration and focused discussions on specific topics. Please note that this is only possible if your company has decided to allow users to create new communities.
