Welcome to THE BUZZ where we highlight new features and news from the eHive community.
eHive launches support for audio and video
We’re very proud to announce the introduction of native support for audio and video files on your eHive catalogue records. You can now upload audio and video files in the same way you would upload images and PDF files, with the same granular suite of controls you’re familiar with.
Audio and video files contribute to your data storage so we’ve updated the way you view your data usage to make it easy to see how your data allowance is being used. We also have a new Help section to guide you through this new feature, available here: Audio and video file help

eHive Drop-in Sessions
Our Drop-in sessions have moved to quarterly this year. We had our first session back in March which was well attended with a lot of discussion with the community members.
The next session is coming up in June so keep an eye out in your inbox for an invite to join us in the coming weeks. We’d love to see you there!
eHive Product Updates
Work is always continuing behind the scenes for the eHive team. Since our last newsletter we’re excited to have introduced the following features:
- Introduction of audio and video file support as outlined above.
- We’ve extended our use of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Web Application Firewall (WAF) to try and ward off unwanted traffic to the eHive site.
- We’ve swapped over the provider we use for our payment gateway. Support for our previous provider by our banking partners ended, so we have moved to using Stripe to process all payments online. This has enabled us to support more credit card providers.
- We have introduced a new bulk import tool for eHive staff to use when we perform bulk imports for you. Technology changes meant our previous tool became obsolete so we have written a new tool from scratch keeping us up to speed and able to process your bulk imports and data migration.
- We have also introduced two new tools for our use as system administrators. We now have the ability to bulk empty the recycle bin for an account on behalf of a client, as well as delete unverified accounts. Deleting unverified accounts helps us combat the creation of spam accounts on eHive.
Style and iconography field now searchable
After a request from within the eHive community, we’ve recently made the Style and iconography field searchable. As with all of our fields, specific field help is available here: eHive field help
