October 10: Goal Box & New Dashboard Designs Going Live!
Hello,
Last month, we announced the new dashboard design & goal box! Check out the post from last month here.
We are excited to announce that this will go live either today or tomorrow for members only!
FEEDBACK - LEAVE IT HERE
Here is what you can expect with this update -
1) 3 Column Dashboard
2) Goal box at the top! (with helpful info text)
3) Lock in your goal!
5) Once locked in, you can get support or change your goal
6) If you click get support, the below pop-up will appear. We will invite you to share your goals in one of the daily Check-in threads (in a topic that is relevant to your goal)
7) You will be able to mark your goals as completed! Once you do this, a "my goals" button will appear on your goal box.
8) When you click through, you will be able to see a log of all your completed goals in one place!
Members - please share your feedback on this update! We look forward to hearing from you!
@Laura - yay! we've been working on this for a while and I think first discussed it more than a year ago... Also the 3- column dashboard layout.
Note all, the design is still being tweaked as we figure it out and we'll probably tune it up a few more times as we learn.
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn Good stuff. Couple things that struck me as detrimental to UX. No option in mobile to collapse 'latest in the community' feed + moving subscribed communities list to the very bottom of the landing page is a pain. Otherwise, looks good so far. Thank you for all your hard work. 🦄
@melliotm - thanks for the feedback. can you add it to the form @laura just posted so it doesn't get lost in the mix?
it's tricky on narrower mobile screens figuring out which items have to wrap below... :(
Nice goal! As coleader for Healthy Living support team, I totally support you toward this goal! Feel free to join our healthy Living Subcommunity for getting support!

@Joe2017 *CHASIES!* =X_X;=
This is awesome! I'm looking forward to it! :)
Awesome job guys, I really love the new dashboard, so proud :) <3
When can listeners expect the update?
@Laura
It is more user friendly!
When I updated a goal after finishing one achieve was spelled 'acheive'
I miss the previews on the most recent posts in the forums, now we only get titles. This was one way to catch spam within legitimate forum threads. I don't mind this being missing from the dashboard if we could access this option from the main forum page.
I like that we can see achieved goals. I wish we could have more than one goal we're working towards. I do think it's good to have a limit to avoid this being overwhelming or appearing like a to-do list, but it could be useful to have the option of multiple goals as some may be different time frames than others. It would also allow someone to have a big goal with small goals they could see checked off being achieved as they work towards that big one.
@AffyAvo - great feedback. please add to the forom laura just linked?
we'll fix the typo and i'll see about getting excerpts added back in.
the goal feature is likely to evolve. we started with a fairly simple focused idea to avoid overwhelming people.
it should evolve toward something where you can make a plan that includes a series of goals and then knock them off as you go. even now it will keep a log of goal acheeved :)
@Laura
ItS quite nice <3
It caught me off guard, but I like this update. And I love the goals feature! I find it very helpful. Thanks to all the people that work to make this site even better! ♥
