Apps

Connecting apps allows Unleash to synchronize the knowledge and resources within your apps, enabling you to search for answers to your questions or locate specific documents or resources. You can connect apps when you first sign up for Unleash or at any time afterward. With over 70 apps, this feature ensures a comprehensive and integrated knowledge base.

Note: Admins may restrict the apps available for conenction for the workpsace which may cause you to not see the same apps from the list we provide in this guide.

Time Filters

To empower you with greater control over the scope of your search and reduce noise when receiving results, the Relative Time Filter enables you to limit the time ranges of the information you index when connecting links. This applies to both private and shared links.

The time filter can be configured at the final stage of the link connection process (optional) or at any time from the Apps page. Filters can be edited to reduce or increase the time frame, and the changes will take effect the next time the link data is synced.

Time filters are not supported by the following apps:

• BambooHR

• Azure Active Directory

• Google People Directory

• Hibob

• Okta

Available Time Frames for the Time Filter

You can add a Last Updated filter, or you can search for a time frame or select it from within the following preset time frames:

• Last 3 months

• Last 12 months

• Last 18 months

• Last 24 months

• Custom

  • Before a specific date

  • After a specific date

  • Between two specific dates

The last filters operate relatively:

This means that these filters are dynamic and depend on the current date. They don't filter data based on fixed periods but rather on periods relative to the present moment.

For instance, choosing "Last 3 months": This filter implies that it will select data from the past 3 months up to the current day. So, if today is March 28th, it will include data from January 28th to March 28th. As time progresses, the filter will update itself and it will delete the first month's data and move the time to the current past 3 months. For example, on April 28th, the filter will now include data from February 28th to April 28th, effectively shifting the window of the "last 3 months" forward by one month.
