As the Yocova platform and community continue to grow and evolve, we’re always looking for new ways to enhance user experience and make it easier for our members to find and access the innovative digital solutions and services available on the platform. That’s why we’ve listened to feedback from our members and made some important changes to the platform under Release 47.
Our latest release includes significant improvements to the Explore functionality, a new quick copy feature on forms, new analytics capabilities, enhancements to the creation and use of tags, and some other small enhancements.
Enhancements to the ‘Explore’ functionality
We have added new functionality to enable our members to more easily find events, solutions and groups. When you open the Explore page, you’ll now see suggestions of features you may like, relating to content or events you’ve been interested in previously. Each tab you see will contain recommendations according to your company, interests or featured records.
To see what’s recommended for you, simply click the Explore button at the top of your page. You’ll then see a list on the left of your screen of Events, Solutions and Groups. Click on these to discover which are relevant to your business area, interests or previous activity. You’re then able to click on any of the recommendation tiles and take a look at your leisure.
Why have we done this? Because we want to make it easier for you to discover more and engage on the platform. We’ll be making further enhancements to this functionality soon too, so it will be easier for you to explore other companies, members and data rooms. We’ll also be refining the recommendations further in future to ensure they’re as relevant as possible, so please keep your interests updated in your profile.
Make sure you log in and check out Explore so you don’t miss out!
Quick Copy Form
We’ve introduced a Quick Copy form feature following a request from our users to make it easier to share form information with others. As a practical example, what this means is that when a buyer completes details for a purchase on an application form, you now have the option to easily copy the completed text, so if you need to put this into another format or send to a colleague, for example, for checking, this is now possible.
How to do it? When you review a form, against every section heading, there is a blue quick copy button to the right. Once you have clicked that, you can paste the text where you need to.
Improved Analytics
We’re starting to build analytics functionality on the platform and have initiated this with a report showing responses to questions posed to Event attendees, and we will be building in more in the future. With this new feature, only available to certain membership types, you can now easily download event feedback forms, for example, and then extract the data if needed. If you’re holding a large event and receive multiple post-event forms, we’ve added a new option to download all forms, on the menu to the right of the event page.
If you’re looking to take advantage of this new analytics feature, speak to your Yocova Account Manager to find out more.
Tag enhancements
The use of tags is super important in terms of the evolution of the platform. Tags provide the means to label platform content so that it can be discovered more easily, and suggestions can be made to individual community members regarding specific content. This can help you learn about the topics you’re interested in, find relevant groups, events, and solutions for instance.
In this release we’ve made some enhancements to creating tag sets to make it clearer and easier to utilise tags on your content. A tag icon will now be visible for any tags added to a plan, on the plan tile, on products added to the cart, and in the user management space.
If you’re looking to create a tag set, then under the Manage Data section, select ‘Add tag set’ and from the drop-down menu called ‘Applicable to’, select either group, event or solution. Once you have made your selection, select ‘Type’ and you can choose whether your tags can be used by all companies, or only users within your own company. Making the tag set available to other companies is a great way to collaborate with others outside your own company, for example if you are hosting a joint event or group with another company or Yocova member.
The Yocova team is here to help you make the most of this new feature. Note that this functionality is only available for specific membership types, so speak to your Yocova Account Manager if you need to know more. We’ll be making further enhancements to tagging to include companies and members soon, so stay tuned!
Other enhancements
We’ve made a number of other enhancements to improve the platform following feedback and requests from our members, including simplifying the registration and password reset process. We’ve also increased the file size upload to 500MB to make sharing of larger file types available, except for event icons and backgrounds.
Do you have any feedback?
We’re always on the lookout for ways to improve Yocova, so if you’ve got any feedback you’d like to share on this release or anything else about the platform, feel free to get in touch.
