Create a location based group when someone adds a location on their profile

[CeciliaHinga]

Please describe the problem.

As a user, I was groups to be created automatically when an individual team member registered/sets-up on TenFour and adds in their location on their profile.

A 500+ person volunteer organization or a 60,000+ company wants to use TenFour to check in with its volunteer members or employees.

They need to see responses to check-ins viewable by groups, not just lists of people. Groups are currently made manually but groups that can be made by people in a similar location or with similar needs would be useful.

Who are we designing for?

We are designing for at least two user groups primarily after a disaster

1 -NGO Leads or people managing a TenFour organization. Otherwise referred to as an 'admin'
Typically have the role types of Owner and Admin in TenFour. The owner of the TenFour organization could be the farm owner. These users often pre-create groups based off certain criteria but also want groups to be flexible and useful in may circumstances as well as smart to take work off the individuals.

2 - The volunteers moving from location/farm to location/farm in order to be most effective in response to the disaster recovery in there changing location. They may be updating their location on the profile or this may be an automatic, updating feature.

Describe what the user needs to do

• If a user adds in 'Bristol UK' into their profile then a location-specific group is created for 'Bristol UK'.

• Any new team members who add 'Bristol UK' as their location on the profile should then be added to that same 'Bristol UK' group.

• TenFour should be able to automatically place people in groups according to a skill added to profile (Create a location based group when someone adds a location on their profile #215 )

• Users might be able to automatical add a location tracking option that regularly updates their location

• Admins might find it useful to view a map of groups.

• Admins may find updates in notifications easy or notifications for specific groups.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Simply creating many groups with longer names to describe the nature of the group that hold many of the same people e.g below where you can see groups of volunteers created by the time slots they are volunteering for. Many of these people volunteer across many time slots.

What is success for our user

• Groups are created and updated based off location data

• If location data is confusing the system is able to suggest actions for Admin/Owners of the TenFour organisation.

What are our design constraints?

Requires:
Mobile telecom connection or internet connection.
Uses/already logged onto a TenFour org
On the TenFour system as a ‘person’.

###Dependancies

The work on Alerts #110 depends on this to function.

The process of adding this to your profile and how a group is created is not detailed though and needs good design work put into how these groups are joined voluntarily as well as potentially, automatically via adding the location to your profile.

Also, considering how people move between locations, cities, countries etc. Does this need to be asked every month? When a device changes location? How does the system know if a device changes location?
