User Profiles Database

The User Profiles Database is a powerful feature powered by Cosmos that extends user profiles with additional employee information such as department, location, skills, job title, and other custom fields.

Open

When using Teams and Activity modules, this data can be selected and displayed on user cards to create richer people overviews and more informative employee directories.

For more details about configuring and managing the User Profiles Database, read more here.

Social Widgets: Birthdays, Anniversary, and New Starters

The Birthdays, Anniversary, and New Starters modules use date-based information from the Cosmos Employee Database to automatically generate employee overviews and celebratory widgets across supported modules.

Open

Configuration is managed in Cosmos, where administrators define which employee database fields are used for each event type. Read more here.

Personalization

Selected modules support personalized experiences. Whole module and also tabs can be targeted to specific audiences using Collections powered by Cosmos.

For example, the first tab remains visible to everyone by default, while additional tabs can be shown only to selected user groups, such as departments, locations, or teams.

This functionality requires Cosmos to be installed and configured with Collections. Learn more abour Cosmos Collections.

Blog post settings

When Cosmos is installed, additional blog settings become available.

Open

Content creators can configure enhanced blog properties such as custom background images, categories, and pinned status. When a background image is set in Cosmos Blog Settings, it overrides the Confluence blog header image in supported modules.
