Better organization and management of the user’s Challenge Definitions

Ease of access to each Challenge Definition and to various actions (enter, copy, delete) without having to first open the Challenge Definition

A more intuitive way of creating new Challenge Definitions using the ‘+ Create new Challenge Definition’ button

Ease of switching to different Challenge Definition documents by using the Organizer button

Same search ability as what was available on the Home page

Navigate through different folders and better manage your Challenge Definitions by being able to organize them in folders, while keeping the option to see them all grouped under one folder - Global or Community

Users can create, edit or delete folders by using the buttons in the bottom command bar

Users can create, enter, copy or delete a Challenge Definition by using the buttons available in the Challenge Definition line or the ‘+ Create new Challenge Definition’ button below the table (some actions may not be available, depending on the role you have on the Challenge Definition or the folder)

Challenge Definitions can be moved into different folders by dragging and dropping into a different folder via the three dots on the left hand side of the page

Click on the Organizer button so you can easily navigate back to the Organizer card while working in a Challenge Definition

Users can easily search through their Challenge Definitions by name, folder, owner, role, or status

Better document management by storing all Challenge Definitions that the user was invited to collaborate on in a single folder

This folder includes Challenge Definitions that users are invited to by SWARM users or by any other Community user

Click on the ‘Shared With Me’ folder to view all Challenge Definitions you were invited to; they also come up in the Global and Community folders, alongside the Challenge Definitions you created

When a user is invited to collaborate on a Challenge Definition, an email invite is sent to the user; upon acceptance, the user will see the Challenge Definition(s) in the ‘Shared With Me’ folder

You cannot create Challenge Definitions in, move Challenge Definitions to, or remove Challenge Definitions from this folder; your access must be revoked from the Challenge Definition document to have it removed

While on the last card (Share card), the ‘Next card’ button will be greyed out

When the side menu is collapsed, the 2 navigation buttons will remain on the screen

You can still navigate by clicking directly on an element in the sidebar, so you don't have to go through each card sequentially

Assigning a role allows the platform to personalize the user's experience

The role selection can streamline workflow processes by defining their seniority and responsibilities

Click on the user icon / picture in the top right of the screen, select Profile, and navigate to the Role drop-down

The card’s name better relates to its purpose and its position increases its utilization
