Version six of the resident application brings a fresh new user interface, and improvements in key areas like My Home, Committee Hub, and supporting content. Let's explore some of the key changes below.
Homepage
My Home
Items from My Home have been brought forward onto the homepage for easier access and more attention to the owners. There are also improved controls around what get's shown for certain user types. To learn more about the different situations MyHome appears, check out this article.
The integration settings page now has a new feature toggle to completely disable the My Home for all users if required. This would result in showing example 4 below.
Note: Levies and Levy Notices are only available via the StrataMax integration at this point in time.
My Site
Consolidated and dynamic can be used to describe the new layout when residents first log in. Gone are the square tiles, now replaced with a horizontally scrolling icon set (making it easier to scale when features are turned on and off).
Recent Requests
The recent requests section will show the resident's three most recent requests, the date they are submitted, and their status. These are taken from maintenance, builder defects, committee, and custom requests.
Note: If you've disabled the "All Requests" feature toggle for the app, this section will be disabled.
Community Wall
If the community wall is enabled for your site, this section will loop through all new posts created that day.
StrataMax My Home
Levy Notices
Lot owners can now view their levy notices in the My Home section. While disabled by default, this can be enabled on the StrataMax integration settings page.
StrataPay
Below the list of levies now sits a button that takes lot owners to the StrataPay website and prefills their Reference Number and Account Balance.
Note: We are using the AccountBalance field for their payment amount, not the AccountBalanceDue field.
Committee Hub
Topics
Additional permission items are available when creating a new topic from the app:
Allow users to change response up to the expiry
Allow audience to view others' response
Allow comments
Allow anonymous responses
Permission options have been improved, meaning users can select specific committee groups when creating a topic.
Files can also be uploaded to topic responses.
My Account
The My Account section is now broken down into logical sections for the residents' history, settings, and support.
Helper Popups
There are now helpful information popups on key pages to provide quick information to users. The learn more button opens the related help center article for more detailed help.
