👉 People — Build and Explore Your Community

Overview

The People module allows you to create and manage a structured list of individuals within your app.

It acts as a dynamic, searchable community directory, where users can discover profiles, explore relevant information, and connect with others.

Each profile can include custom information, geolocation, and—when linked to a platform account—direct interaction through private chat.

Key Features

• Structured list of people displayed in alphabetical order
• Profile pictures for better identification and engagement
• Custom fields to enrich each profile (e.g. role, specialty, level, etc.)
• Geolocation support with map view to easily locate individuals
• Private chat integration (when a Movn or Medikka ID is linked)
• Advanced filtering with up to 2 customizable filter fields

Why it matters

The People module transforms your app into a living network, making it easy for users to:

• Discover other members
• Identify relevant profiles
• Locate people geographically
• Connect and interact directly

It’s a key building block for community engagement and networking.

Typical Use Cases

• Members directory (clubs, associations, communities)
• Researchers or professionals listing (Medikka)
• Players, coaches, or participants (Movn)
• Event attendees or internal teams
• Any structured list of individuals

People vs Directory

While both modules manage lists, they serve different purposes:

People module

• Designed for individuals
• Includes profile pictures
• Supports custom fields and filters
• Offers a map view with geolocation
• Enables direct messaging (if linked to a user account)
• Focused on interaction and networking

Directory module

• Designed for organizations, venues, or centers
• Includes structured contact fields (phone, email, etc.)
• Supports subsections
• Focused on information display rather than interaction

👉 In short:

• Use People for who
• Use Directory for what / where

Pro Tip

To maximize engagement, make sure profiles include:

• A clear profile picture
• Relevant custom fields
• Accurate geolocation (for map view)
• A linked platform ID (to enable chat)

This turns your list into an interactive, location-aware community hub, not just a static directory.
