Week of 22/06/2026 — Employees without email / Unread messages

👤 Collaborators – Add without a mandatory email address

Until now, adding a collaborator in Steeple required an email address, which blocked the integration of field profiles — operators, production agents — who do not have a professional email account. This change aims to allow all collaborators to be included in Steeple, regardless of their level of digital equipment, by offering connection methods adapted to each profile.

🆕 What has been updated

• Email not required : the email field becomes optional when creating a collaborator, making it possible to integrate profiles without a professional email account.

• Login via PIN code on touchscreen : collaborators without email can interact directly from touchscreens using their personal PIN code.

• Web and mobile access optional : if the collaborator wants to log in from a PC or mobile device, they can later add a username and set a password to access the app.

💬 Messaging – Mark a message as unread

Until now, it was not possible to mark a message as unread in the messaging system, which forced users to keep in mind the messages they had not yet replied to or that required follow-up later. This change aims to provide a simple way to keep track of conversations by allowing a message to be set back to unread so it is not forgotten.

🆕 What has been updated

• New “Unread” status : ability to manually mark a message as unread, so it can be found easily and revisited at the right time.

• Visual indicator : the message set back to unread appears as an unviewed message, with the unread message count updated accordingly.
