You’ll be able to customize the look and feel of the feature, plug it in directly to your website, and funnel those newly acquired members right into your Optix venue dashboard user list.

For users: Add skills to your profile page and filter the member directory

As your coworking space continues to grow it’s community, it may be more and more difficult to make those personalized connections between your members. Enable them to create connections on their own by encouraging them to use the member directory and the new skills functionality.

Members will now be able to add skills to their profile page, allowing them to showcase to their community what they do, what they’re interested in, and what their strengths are. If your members are browsing through the directory, and come across someone they’d like reach out to, they’ll be able to see what their skills are – potentially finding some common ground to kick off the conversation.

If your members reach out to learn how to do this, you can share this FAQ with them.

For users: Filter meeting rooms and desks

We’ve just made in-app booking a whole lot easier. Your members will now be able to filter meeting rooms and desks in the app by the following:

• Start time
• Duration or End time
• Capacity
• Name
• Amenities (meeting rooms only)
• Hourly price range
• Favorites

Here is an FAQ you can share with your members if they have any questions!
