Messages, boards and bookings

Community chats, site boards you can drag, and the day's booking roster.

Messages, Site Boards and the booking roster read your site’s own records — chats, cards and who is booked in — and each needs its plugin on the site. Where a plugin is missing, the surface says so instead of appearing broken.

Sites on the iPad
iPad The sites, with the active one marked.

Messages

Group chats and direct messages from your site’s community, under The Net. Open a thread and it refreshes every few seconds while you are in it. Send text, or send handwriting: the ink goes into the message as a picture. Threads show inbound handwriting the same way.

Site Boards

Every board on the site, opened into columns you can drag between:

  • Drag a card to a column and it moves on the server.
  • Tap a card for the whole task: people, labels, comments, due date, priority — with editing.
  • Reply on a card with text or handwriting.
  • Big boards show a first batch per column with “N more” on tap, so a support board with hundreds of cards still opens.
  • A board’s tag says what the board is for; the featured image on a card face can be shown or hidden.

Local ⇄ Site flips between the site’s boards and the on-device task board. It is one boards system with two sources; the on-device one is the List/Columns view of your own tasks.

Cards from any board with a due date also appear on the day’s timeline, bucketed to do / doing / done, and tapping one opens its board.

Correspondence onto a board

If a board is set as the inbox board, Sync correspondence makes a card per new reply and skips ones already there.

The booking roster (Event Attendees)

Under Desk: everyone booked in today, each a card with name, photo, time and status.

  • Tap an attendee to see them and jump to their CRM profile.
  • The card has an ink pad. Write a note about the session; it is read and posted straight onto their CRM timeline on the site, and the person joins your ledger’s connections for that day.
  • The almanac strip widens the roster to a week or a month, capped at about six weeks of days.

Per class type you can opt in to a prompt before a session — record it, and pull up its notes. Opt-in per class, so a personal appointment never nags, and at most once a day.

Which site

With several sites connected, each of these surfaces remembers its own home site, so messages can live on one site and bookings on another without a global switch.

What you need on the site

Messages need the community messaging plugin; boards need the boards plugin; the roster needs the booking plugin and the CRM. The Ledgable plugin bridges to them. See Connecting a site.
