The update brings numerous improvements that will make your everyday work in RWTHonline easier:

  • The desktop as the central start page
    In the future, all important applications will be clearly arranged on a personal desktop.
  • Customizable favorites & folders
    Individual workspaces can be structured using your own favorites and folders.
  • Various organizational filters
    Navigation through complex organizational structures is more intuitive and based on the permissions that each person has in the system.
  • Modernized application design
    A fresh, clear look ensures a consistent user experience.
  • Changed menu navigation in the applications
    An optimized menu structure supports intuitive operation.
  • Freely selectable themes
    With or without application icons – the appearance can be customized.

In addition to the expanded personalization options, the new interface offers you more agility in selecting organizations. You will continue to use most applications in the context of a specific organization. To make it easier for you to find your organization, you can now select the required organizational context in several places:

  • directly on the desktop,
  • when starting the respective application, or
  • within the application itself.

This new feature is intended to make work easier, especially for employees with multiple organizational roles or affiliations.
