Nicolas, I updated Babson Dam and selecting a Department now it does the right thing, also removed all Duplicates. I noticed the way to create a duplicate is like "doueble clicking" the Save button on the New Department creation, let me review that since this component should prevent double submission, we may have something to Deploy at the end of the end today.
Hello All, I fixed the issue with the spacing in the results area, fix it was deployed to the Babson server and it is looking ok now. Please let us know if it is looking good in your side now please.

When copying assets to People category, there is no way to choose the Person the assets should copy to. see image attached in blog tab
Hello Cheryl, sorry we did not catch your blog post about the issues, we use the chat more so here we all get notifications, the chat also has Attachments options so you can send us some screenshots of the issues you are describing.

The way to add some assets to an existing Person is select some of the assets then in the Menu, select Copy To.. and then Person, this will popup a Person Picker, you can search here the Person or Create new
(See attachment)
You can also Copy the entire folder if you need, in the folder is in the right there in the Screen Shot, you can right click and also select Copy to...
Regarding the Search Kept issue, I was able to reproduce it as you described, we are working on some improvments to the whole results area so we will take care of that and will notify you when is done.
