sumApp Member View | Bio Page

The Bio page is the first page your members will see when they click on the link included in their sumApp invitation email. It is meant to help orient your members to the project’s process and purpose and give each member the opportunity to help others in the network identify them easily on the Connections page.

Features of the Bio page

1) Project name – defined when the project was created. Can be changed in Settings.

2) Member View Navigation Bar. Members can skip forward through the app to whichever page they want to see. The Bio tab is editable in Tier IV, in Settings

3) If the member has already shared connections in the connections page, the blue info bar at the top tells them how many they’ve shared.

4) ‘Hello Text’. Editable in all Tiers, in Settings.

5) ‘Welcome Text’. Editable in all Tiers, in Settings.

6) ‘Data Usage Text’. Editable in all Tiers, in Settings. Make sure you are clear and accurate about how private or public the map and the data in it will be.

7) The profile picture upload. Members who have a Gravitar account associated with the email address you are using, their ‘gravitar’ will be pulled in automatically. They can replace it using the upload function if desired. Helps members easily identify one another on the connections page and you can show the picture in the member nodes in the Kumu map. The text on the blue button is editable in Tier IV, in Settings.

8) An (old-school) tweet-sized space for member to share a little info about themselves to help others in the network identify them easily. Limit is 140 characters (not words!). The light blue description text below the field is editable in Tier IV, in Settings.

9) Character countdown showing how many unused characters remain in the field (in #8).

10)  Proceed button – saves bio text and proceeds to the survey page.
