Best Practices - Content Management

Keep Your App Clean, Relevant, and Valuable

An app is only as good as the data and content it contains.

High-quality, well-managed information ensures that your app remains:

• Useful
• Credible
• Engaging

👉 Poor data quickly leads to disengagement.

1. Start with Clean Data

From the beginning, ensure your data is consistent and accurate.

Applies to:

• People profiles
• Events
• Directory entries
• Any imported data

👉 Clean data builds trust and usability.

2. Keep Information Updated

Outdated information reduces credibility.

Examples:

• Past events still visible
• Incorrect profile details
• Old or irrelevant content

👉 Regular updates keep your app alive and reliable.

3. Standardize Your Fields

Consistency is key, especially in structured modules.

Best practices:

• Use the same format for similar fields
• Avoid duplicates (e.g. “Coach” vs “coach”)
• Keep naming consistent

👉 Standardization improves filtering and search.

4. Manage Your Content Actively

Content should be curated, not just published.

• Remove irrelevant or outdated posts
• Highlight important information
• Keep the News Feed meaningful

👉 Quality content drives engagement.

5. Control Imports Carefully

Bulk imports are powerful but require attention.

Before importing:

• Check formatting
• Clean duplicates
• Ensure correct structure

👉 A bad import can damage your entire dataset.

6. Maintain the People Module

Your directory is a key asset.

• Ensure profiles are complete
• Remove duplicates
• Update roles or information when needed

👉 A clean directory strengthens your network.

7. Archive or Remove Old Content

Avoid clutter over time.

• Remove outdated events
• Archive old data when necessary
• Keep only relevant information visible

👉 A clean app is easier to use.

8. Assign Responsibility

Data quality needs ownership.

• Define who manages content
• Assign roles for updates
• Ensure regular checks

👉 Someone must be responsible for quality.
