Profiling / User directory
 

The directory app allows to map the users based on interests, skills, geographic location, nationality and more. Users can find the profiles of other members and get in touch via live chat.

Customizable user profiling process:

The user profiling process has several steps:

1) Registration:

Users can decide whether to register via social login (Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn) or with manually given credentials (username, password, date of birth). On the basis of any related social profiles, information such as name, e-mail, user photos and other information will be imported, if the user approves.

2) Connection of other social profiles:

In this page the user can connect additional social profiles, to be able to authenticate in the future with any of the connected ones.

3) Profile based on parametric fields:

From the community administration panel it is possible to customize a set of profile fields that the user will have to insert in the registration phase. These fields can be text fields, multiple choice, dates or numbers and it is possible to define which fields are mandatory. In addition to these fields you can activate standard fields such as telephone number, spoken languages, nationality, location.

4) Profile on the basis of skills:

The user will be able to indicate his/her skills by clicking on the "favorite" tags (customizable through the community administrative panel), on the automatically suggested tags based on the ones just mentioned, or by manually entering skills in a field of search that proposes corresponding tags through an "Autocomplete" tool that allows maximum univocity in the indication of skills. Where an inserted tag does not belong to the current database, it is automatically added to a group of "uncategorized" tags.

5) Profile on the basis of interests:

In the same way in which the user has indicated his skills in the previous step, the user can indicate interests. These interests are related to the same taxonomy of tags
 

User-friendly directory

From the "community" page it is be possible to discover the profiles of the community members. It is possible to search by tags of interests and competencies, both from the "suggested" ones (based on the community tags or the user's own tags) and manually through a search field that will help to find correspondents with "autocomplete".

It is also possible to search for multiple tags, making sure that the users who have all those indicated are identified. Searching with "autocomplete" for a name, or doing a simple text search (which retrieve information from user descriptions) is possible too.

It is possible to filter users based on geographical location and spoken languages.

For administrators, once a search has been done and "scrolled" to see all the users found, it is possible to extract the emails of the people who correspond to these filters, so that they can be used for communications made with other tools (email or newsletter) to send targeted mail.

Navigable map of users

In the "community" page, by selecting the "map" display filters, you can view all users in a geographic map. The same filters can be used as in the standard display.

User profiles

Each user has a page with the information they want to make public.

The following information is displayed on the profile page:

It is possible to modify the fields mentioned above, to decide in which language to display the platform and to decide whether to make the profile public (visible even to members of other communities) or private, and therefore only visible to members of the community.

Real-time messaging

Scrolling through a profile of another user, a button can be found to contact the user and start a real time chat.

The contacted user will receive an e-mail notification that will invite him/her to reply via the platform and further notificate them in case of new comments within the channel.

You can add other users to the conversation or delete previously added conversations. If the user is online, he/she will see a note at the bottom right, with the face of the person or persons involved in the conversation and a number indicating the number of unread messages.
