We removed buzzboard tabs because no-one really understood or used them. Instead with our new Osprey release we just show one buzzboard tab accessible by clicking on the “messages” icon in the main toolbar. This buzzboard tab now “floats” above the existing screen rather than squashing it down, and it can be moved and resized as before when clicking on “pop-out”. You can still hide or mark individual buzzboard messages as read and show/hide read messages.

The buzzboard and inbox are now more consistent with each other, both having the option to show all types of messages (not just workflow messages in our previous inbox application). The inbox being a full screen application has more options than our buzzboard with user filters, sorting and table layout/columns. The display grouping all workflow messages for projects/tasks on a single timesheet or expense claim into one group with a single-click approval for all have been rolled into the new inbox application as a group-by option (and will be a sub-title button in the near future). Finally we added columns to our inbox for number of hours or value of expense claim items to make it easier to approve or reject timesheets or expense claims from the inbox without having to drill-down
