Reports are now posts
The name change from reports to posts is a recognition that data collected might not just be a traditional ‘report’ of an event any more.Multiple ways to view your posts
Along with the traditional map and list views, we now have timeline and bar chart views on the homepage.Collect whatever information you want with Post Types
Posts are no longer a fixed form with built in fields. You can customize them by creating many post types, with different stages and custom fields to collect the data you need.Manage a workflow with steps
Each post is now made up of a number of steps. These can be made required (or not) before the post is published. This lets you build the workflow you need, e.g
Want to make sure all posts have a location before they’re public? Add a ‘location stage’. Want to collect info about actions taken on a post, but don’t want wait to publish it? you can do that too.One interface for all posts
We no longer have separate views from managing posts and viewing posts.Receive messages directly as ‘posts’
The old ‘ messages ’ views are gone. New SMS or twitter messages now come in directly as “ unstructured ” posts, that are ready to be completed and published quickly and easily.Create curated collections of posts
Want to share a group of posts with someone? or save them for later? All platform users can now create collections for themselves and to share with others.Build your own workflows with Saved Searches: You are no longer restricted to simple queues of posts e.g ‘ Awaiting Approval ’/‘ Awaiting Verification ’ - You can create any search you want, save it, and the check again later.
