🔗 Quick Links


🏠 User Dashboard Page (Home)

The User Dashboard (or Home) page gives users an organized overview of their onboarding progress and products.


Key Features

Pinned Notes

  • (Optional) You can toggle on the Pin option to pin a note to your user's Dashboard. Pin a user note when viewing a user as an admin in the "Notes" section. See the User Notes article for more info...

Onboarding Summary

  • Shows a visual progress bar representing how many onboarding tasks are completed vs. total tasks.

  • A Next Steps button guides users to the next incomplete task.

  • Once all tasks are completed, this section disappears.

My Stuff Section

  • Displays active and completed products the user has access to.

  • Each card shows progress percentage and a Completed label when finished.

  • Users can toggle Show Completed products on/off.

  • If no products are available, it shows an empty state prompting users to explore the library.

Library Teaser

  • Appears below the “My Stuff” section and encourages users to browse the full library.

  • Includes a Library button that opens the product catalog.

How Users Interact

  • Resume onboarding by clicking the arrow next to the progress bar.

  • Access products by clicking on any product card.

  • Toggle product views between active and completed.

  • Explore more content using the Library button in empty states or teaser areas.


📚 Product Library Page

The Product Library lets users browse, filter, and search all available products — including courses, challenges, and memberships.

Note: By default, the Library page can be viewed by logged in users as well as site visitors. If you would like to hide this page from site visitors you can disable the Enable Public Content option in App Settings.

What Users See

  • Search bar: Users can enter keywords to find specific products.

  • Category filter: Filter products by category (e.g., memberships, courses).

  • Product cards: Each card includes:

    • Product image

    • Title and description

    • Action link:

      • Let’s Do This: Start or continue a product

      • Completed: Shows a checkmark

      • Buy Now: Takes the user to a checkout if there’s a purchase method set

Browse Features

  • Responsive design: Works on both desktop and mobile.

  • Combine filters: Users can use both search and filters to narrow results.

  • Collections: When products are part of a collection, they’re marked visually and progress tracks across the whole collection.

  • And products that are a part of a collection will have a marker under the product description with the same color that matches the color for the collection, like this:

Note: When users consume content as a part of a collection, the progress for the entire collection is tracked across all products, so a user can see their progress across the entire collection and easily pick up where they left off.


📰 User Feed (“My Feed”)

The User Feed is a social‑style activity page showing posts, announcements, and updates published by site admins.

The feed can be delivered as a standalone experience using a micro membership model, or to supplement traditional online courses or membership products (delivered via the product library).

Post Layout

Each post can include:

  • Image or video (optional)

  • Title

  • Text content

  • CTA links such as “Redeem Promo” or “Sign Up”

  • Author and date info

  • Visibility icons (lock icon for private posts)

Interactions

  • Like: Users can express appreciation for a post by clicking the heart icon. The number of likes is displayed next to it.

  • Comment: If the post allows comments, users can join the conversation by clicking the comment icon, which displays how many comments the post has received.

  • Reply: Users can reply directly to a comment by clicking the reply option below the original comment

  • Load more: Click “Load More” to see older posts

Visibility Rules

  • Public posts: Visible even when not logged in

  • Private posts: Marked by a lock icon, these are only visible to logged-in users with the necessary permissions.

Featured Posts

  • Feature this post?: If this option was selected it will create an app wide announcement at the top of the site for users who can view the post.

Call-to-Action Links

Posts may contain links that prompt users to take specific actions. These Call-to-Action (CTA) links encourage users to engage with offers, announcements, or external resources. Examples of common CTAs include:

  • Promotions: Posts offering discounts or deals might have a "Redeem This Promo" link, which users can click to take advantage of the offer.

  • Sign-ups: Other posts may feature a "Sign Up Now" link for events, courses, or newsletters.

  • External Resources: CTA links can direct users to external pages, such as blogs or partner websites, for more information.

Dedicated post page

When users receive any post email notifications they are directed to a dedicated page for that post. This ensures that users view the correct post and can engage most easily and effectively with your new content."

Troubleshooting

  • Missing Posts: If users don’t see a post they expected, check if they are logged in. Private posts require login and appropriate permissions.

  • Like, Comment, or Reply Issues: If users are unable to like, comment, or reply, ensure they are logged in. Additionally, some posts may restrict comments and replies.
