  • Announcement Entry Point on Mobile

    • Enhancements to Announcements entry point Homepage (mobile only)

    • The Announcements entry point will now include numbered badging on the entry point that will indicate to the member how many incomplete Announcements are available. There is a list view of Announcements that the member will select the desired Announcement to view. That will bring the member to a detailed view of the specific Announcement. 

    • The Announcements will also be removed from the board stack on mobile. There will be no more duplication of Announcements displayed on the Homepage via board stack and Announcements entry point. That redundancy will be removed and members will access Announcements only from the entry point.

    • There is no change to the dynamic display or imaging on the entry point. There is no change to the Announcements on web or the configuration of Announcements in GenAdmin or ClientAdmin.

    • This is part of the Distributor branding at company level project. Sponsors that have branding packages will now be able to access branding functionality from ClientAdmin. This first release is only for Logo branding functionality. Color branding (theming) functionality will be released later this year (hopefully end of PI-2).  

    • ClientAdmin users will be able to search for an existing logo by Audience, view and preview a logo, create a new logo, publish that logo, edit an existing logo, and delete an existing logo. 

  • Reporting Dashboard

    • Gaps in Care Color Palette Update 

      • This is the update of the color palette of the Gaps in Care reporting dashboard

        • Teal #0E7B8E

    • Metabolic Syndrome in Biometrics Reporting Dashboard 

      • Metabolic syndrome is to be added as a risk classification and a risk category within Biometrics Reporting Dashboard. 

      • a member with most recent biometric values meeting 3/5 of the criteria will be considered as having metabolic syndrome. 

  • Navigate

    • Navigate module homepage will be updated to reflect in-network Individual/Family accumulators, rather than Out-of-Network.

    • We discovered that Out-of-Network accumulators is not as relevant to surface on the homepage. It's more important to display Individual/Family in-network accumulators. 

    • This will also align with the new medical plan section on the new Navigate benefits page.

  • Guides Messaging Bundles

      1. VP Live Services Guides Messaging has been added to:

  • Client Admin New featured step challenge 'detailed' report page

    • What is changing: Instead of an “Export CSV” button there will be a new “Download Detailed Report” button which opens a new page. On that new page the user can “Create New Report”. A table will appear with the status of the report and a Download link when ready (and a Refresh button to press to check the status, if it’s not yet ready).

    • Not changing: For Featured Step Challenges (Destination, Staged, Basic), Client Admin users can download CSV reports with details of all challenge participants and their contributions.

  • Enhanced preview of the Query Summary in Audience Builder Advanced mode. It provides a clear structure of the audiences created, and looks similar to the Basic mode Query Summary with slight modifications that include containers, operators, segments and counts for each segment and total audience. 

  • Mobile Experience Update

    • Popup to notify Members that a new version of mobile app is available to install from Apple or Play stores, and, in case Member does not have access to Google Play Store on their Android device, to let them know that a new version of APK install package is available to install.

      • We will now use the "Corporate Challenges" feature flag to determine if the Challenge Dashboard is accessible for a user, instead of checking for active featured step challenges or active spotlight challenges.

      • Previously the dashboard was visible if PersonalStepChallenges OR HealthyHabitChallenges flags were on, OR if the member had an active featured step challenges or active spotlight challenge

    • Update in Challenge Dashboard content when no challenge invites or ongoing challenges

      • If a user's challenge dashboard has no ongoing nor upcoming challenge info to list, we're updating the message to say:

        • Header stays the same "No Challenges Currently in Progress"

        • Description will be changed to "Explore the platform to keep working on your wellbeing goals!"

  • Reporting Dashboards (rollover from last sprint) 

    • Metabolic Syndrome in Biometrics Reporting Dashboard

      • Enhancements to Announcements entry point Homepage (mobile only)

There is a list view of Announcements that the member will select the desired Announcement to view. That will bring the member to a detailed view of the specific Announcement.

There will be no more duplication of Announcements displayed on the Homepage via board stack and Announcements entry point.

    • Personalized Action List 

      • Update to PAL tile to use custom sponsor name for Rewardable Actions

        • Currently, in game configuration, Sponsors are able to set custom names for their rewardable actions. PAL only picks up these custom names if the action has been marked as "promoted." If the action is not promoted we display the action title that was written for PAL, which may cause confusion if a sponsor has renamed the action elsewhere in the platform. This update will use the sponsor custom name in all cases. 

    • Journeys on Homepage enhancements 

      • make it easy for the member to identify which actions they need to complete with an easy CTA, provide a short-cut to complete the daily step, and provide feedback (e.g. green checkmark) to the member once the step is complete. Users will also be able to access multiple Journeys if they have more than 1 active at the same time (with displaying a max of 3). 

  • Functional Update on retiring Journeys

    • Content can now schedule a journey to be retired (must be farther out than 30 days). When an unpublish date is set, and that date is within 30 days, events on the platform will be initiated to sunset those journeys. 

  • Journey Completion Survey

    • When a member completes the last step in a journey, the old journey completion message is updated and now includes a prompt for members to provide feedback to VP.

  • Campaign Studio

    • Mixpanel - Buyer CS Page View tracking

      • In order to do a better job at making data driven Product decisions we need to increase the available data points/event that we get through Mixpanel

    • Add Billing key ID field to Admin

      • We are doing it because Finance needs to associate a billing key with an ID from their system.

    • Campaign Success Criteria and Tag Management

      • Currently users can only assign Success Criteria and Tags to individual touchpoints, but having the option on campaign level could be a lot valuable.

    • Enhanced preview of the Query Summary in Audience Builder Advanced mode.

      • It provides a clear structure of the audiences created, and looks similar to the Basic mode Query Summary with slight modifications that include containers, operators, segments and counts for each segment and total audience.
