Question 1

Can I turn off feedback comments or enable for negative feedback only?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes you may wish to turn off the ability for users to leave feedback, or perhaps only offer the opportunity for feedback when the content has been rated negatively.

You can configure your preference via the Settings area of MyMalcolm. You can have different settings for FAQs and Workflows.

Look for the "Feedback comments" setting which appears under Settings --> FAQs and Settings --> Workflows

Question 3

Can I receive an email every time a new FAQ or Workflow is published?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes it can be useful to receive an email when a new FAQ or Workflow is published on your instance. This feature is turned off by default - to turn it on follow these steps.

From the MyMalcolm control panel area, click your name at the top of the screen where it says "Logged in as"

You'll then be taken to your personal preferences. If you select the "Notifications" tab on the left you'll be able to edit the notifications you receive. Remember to hit "Save" once you are done!

Note that your notificatons are based on an instance. If you are a user on more than one instance you should first switch to the instance you wish to adjust notifications for. You can do this using the drop down selector at the top right of the screen. You can therefore have different notification preferences for different instances. The notificiation preferences you choose are personal to you and will not affect the notifications of other team members on an instance.

Question 4

How many free trials can I have?

Accepted Answer

Each new instance begins with a 14 day free trial. There is currently no limit to the number of instances you can create.

Question 5

What is the Media Section in MyMalcolm?

Question 8

Can I change where the logo on my hosted hub and hosted pages links to?

This can be really useful if you want to use the Completion screens like a mini CRM - you can categorise or mark your completions to organise them in a certain way. For example you may want to apply the status "Done" or "Processed" to certain Workflows and "Follow Up" to others.

You can also add notes to a Workflow completion that your Team can see. A handy notes icon will appear in the Completions list to show notes exist.
