NI Community News

Our goal for 2022 is to transform NI Community into the fastest and easiest collaboration platform for NI Products. To that end, we have simplified the “Start a Topic” page.  All fields are now found in one column, and each has its own header (‘Attachments’, ‘Notifications’, etc.), adding clarity and ease of use.

We have included screen captures below. This change will go into effect early Wednesday morning.

Update on Friday afternoon: While the change is ready to be released, there is an issue getting changes from our development environment into production. The team is fixing that today and we now plan to release this change on Monday, 21 Feb 2022.

Thank you,

NI Community team

You may have seen her name around, but today it’s my pleasure to introduce Jennifer Brown to the NI Community! She joins us with over 10 years of experience in customer service, HR, and community management.

Jennifer’s focus will be the daily work of keeping this amazing community working for you, our community members. She’ll focus on making sure trees are trimmed, the trash is taken out, and members are welcomed and supported.

When she’s not here, she enjoys baking, reading, and catching all the Pokémon.

Please join me in welcoming her to the NI Community!

• As suggested by wiebe@CARYA , we have implemented a marker on replies when the reply was written by the original author of the topic. Thank you for the suggestion!
• We have implemented an option on Group Hubs to hide the organizers of groups. Group owners can make this selection on the Group Information page.
• For open groups, the selector hides or shows the list on the group overview page.
• For closed groups, the selector hides or shows the list on the 'request access' page. The list of organizers will always show on the group overview page for closed groups.
• We fixed an issue with a misplaced save button on documents in non-English languages.

NI Community releases new features, including previewing signatures.

Yesterday we released a few changes to the software that powers this community

The Example Code Exchange changes that we teased back in October are finally here! This evening we will be releasing a handful of improvements to the Example Code Exchange based on feedback that you all provided to us. As a result of these changes, you will see an impact on existing and new examples. 

The text editor within the NI Community has gotten an upgrade!

The upgraded text editor changes includes:

• Simplified toolbar to easily access the basic styling options
• Better visual display for code samples in posts
• Inline editing to resize or realign an image
• Improved emoji support
• Drag-and-drop images and attachments

The NI Community has exciting changes coming in early 2020 to the Example Code Exchange! Based on feedback that we have received from users, we are working on improvements to the overall code sharing experience. These changes will impact existing examples that were previously uploaded to the Example Code Exchange as well as new examples created in the future.
