Groups
Our upcoming app refresh, will be our biggest refresh to date. Joinable Groups will have a new, more user friendly look, some additional features and a few elements will have been restructured.
Some key updates include:
- Inbox moving to a 'Home' screen. This will be more visual, less like a traditional email inbox and more akin to similar in-app experiences.
- Group settings will be located underneath your group name, in the group menu on the left hand side.
- The chat function now sits on its own, to the right of the '+ Post' button in the Home screen. The orange notification icon alerts you to new updates.
- 'Resources' will replace the 'Shared' folder, and will encompass all the same features.
- Our new and improved 'People' tab, replaces members and allows you to learn more about your group-mates and share more about yourself (sharing is optional as before).
- Maps can now be accessed from the dropped pin icon, located in 'People', next to the '+ Invite' button.
- New to our groups page is 'Updates'. If you have more than one group on Joinable, this tab will keep you up to date with the goings on (posts, activities, updates) across all of them.
- Priority messages will not be in the new release. These are under design review and we hope to add them back in soon.
If you have any questions or feedback about groups, please reach out to our Customer Success Manager, Iona, at iona@joinable.us.
My Community
My Community is replacing Direct Connections in Joinable. Members can find discoverable groups, connect with friends, start conversations around joint interests and, most importantly, find easy ways to get together in person.
- Existing members who are not currently using Direct Connections, will have to activate this feature in the global group menu (left hand side). They will then be taken through the onboarding process.
- Inbox moving to a 'Home' screen. This will be more visual, less like a traditional email inbox and more akin to similar app experiences.
- The 'Activities' tab contains all the events that you are attending (throughout Joinable) as well as upcoming ones you can choose to join with your friends and connections.
- 'Discover' is a brand new Joinable feature. Find local groups that you can join (these groups will have opted to be discoverable), engage in interest 'Circles', and find local friends who are connected to people you know.
- Also new to our My Community page is 'Updates'. This tab will keep you up to date with the goings on (posts, activities, updates) across all of your groups and connections.
