How can we make Yammer more useful for you?

Tell us about it...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the “My feedback” filter and select “My open ideas”.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

    1. Allow users to set a default Group that they always post to

      Some of the recent UI changes have made it more difficult for those of us who use groups almost exclusively. I'd like to see a change so that a user can establish a default group so that every time they post a message they don't have to select the same group. Sometimes they forget and the message is sent to the company network and no one sees it.

      Here’s the issue as we understand it currently:
      - People intend to post to a smaller-scale Group (usually a department or project-based group)
      - It’s too much effort to change from the default (posting to All Company)
      - Posting to All Company either results in no one responding or posting to a wider audience than you’d intended

      If I’m missing any subtleties, please email me at calvarez@yammer-inc.com

    2. Allow message editing

      Primarily for after the fact spelling corrections, tag adds/corrections and fixing/adding attachments.

      Hi everyone! Thanks for your comments. I think it may be useful if we went into a little more depth. We actually thought about this a lot internally, and we are definitely not ignoring users’ desires. There are several challenges with doing this: product complexity and context. On the product complexity side, for example, how do you deal with a message that @ mentions someone and is delivered to them immediately? How do you undeliver it?

      On the context side.. what if you write something, then people “like it” and comment on it, and then you change the thread starter? That would mean that people who “liked” it actually may not have “liked” it. There was a thread on Quora a few months ago that demonstrated exactly that. There was an original question, and then people answered, and then the question was changed to something denigrating towards another Quora member.… more

      Due to the numerous privacy issues that potentially arise from making previously private group messages visible to an entire network, Yammer does not intend to build this feature.

      Yammer has recently added the first version of Pages and Files, which allows you to create, share, and collaborate on docs without having to jump out to Google Docs.

      If you’ve used Pages, I’d be eager to talk with you about your experience as well as how you’re currently using Google Docs. Please email me at research@yammer-inc.com to set up some time to chat!

    9. Task Creation/Management

      If you included a tool that allows people to create tasks and assign them to one or multiple people within their community. That would be a helpful addition to Yammer.

    10. Allow group administrators to moderate messages and delete if required.

      It would be good if a group administrator could delete messages posted to a particular group. Similar to the inappropriate content function under consideration.

    12. Better file management

      It would be nice to be able to create folders or group files together instead of just having the files listed by filename and sorted by date. Of course documents can be posted to different departments/groups based on their content, but if a group is private the documents are not viewable to non-group members. Being able to group files together or create folders would be a nice feature.

    13. Delete files from a post

      You can't delete files uploaded with Yammer. So if you attach the wrong file or have an updated version all you can do to make sure nobody uses or waistes time on the old attachment is delete the whole conversation. This is not a good idea because you'll lose the likes and comments.

      I reported this to Yammer in ticket #31597 and was asked to put it up here as a feature request so it's not considered a bug.

      It would be very usefull if we could have the possibility to have multiple accounts on all clients, including the web browser and the beta-desktop client (ok: iPhone app and old desktop client).

    17. Create an application for Windows Phone 7

      Windows Phone 7 is definitely going places. With Silverlight implementation it should not be hard for you to create a great looking and functioning app for this new OS. Much more so than the app for Windows Mobile 6.5 which is now pretty much dead.

      It will also show that you guys are on top of things!

      Thanks!

    18. We would like to be able to see the tags on our private group

      In order to take full advantage of Yammer on private groups, we need to be able to see our tags. This is not possible at this time. Withouth this feature, it is likely that we will not pursue the use of Yammer unless someone has an idea of how to find "trends" without tags in a private group.

    19. Possibility to edit posts by the creator within a 1-2 Minute timeframe after creation

      It really sucks bad if you have just created a post and had a typo or wrong word in it and cannot quickly edit the post - deleting will not always work when you already have the first replies

      So, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE ADD AN "EDIT" Button for the people who have written a post and need to quickly update typos !!!

    20. Disable Desktop app update functionality (for corporate environments)

      The current desktop application allows users to be notified when there is a new version of the app, and update from within the app. This is great functionality for many users. However, for large corporates with a managed standard operating environment this can violate deployment policies & stop the app from being deployed.

      While definitely not exciting functionality, the ability to disable this update functionality is a must for corporate network administrators.

  • How can we make Yammer more useful for you?

    Knowledge Base and Helpdesk

    Hi and happy new year from Yammer!

    We've made a few changes recently:

    • feedback submissions are now moderated
    • we've created a Yammer Experts mailing list for people willing to participate in occasional surveys or usability testing

    Why? Because we'd like for this forum to be a more useful place for you (and for us, of course).

    We were getting a lot of duplicates and spam and that made it impossible for us to do what we need to do -- listen and respond to you.
