What’s New¶

We are bringing support for notifications in the mobile application. When installing the app, you were possibly asked to allow any notifications from LionsBase mobile, but we have not used this channel until today.

Right now notifications will be related to messages sent by event organisers to the actual participants. In fact, a new feature included in this version is a one-way communication channel from the organiser(s) to the participants of a given calendar event. This will be particularly useful for last-minute communication.

Enabling Notifications¶

If you are unsure if you enabled the notifications for the LionsBase mobile app, you can double check and enable them like that:

• Open Settings

• Either open Notifications > LionsBase or:

  • Scroll down until you see the LionsBase application, tap it and tap Notifications

  • Similarly you may use the search input to locate LionsBase by slightly swiping down when opening Settings

You should see something similar to this:

Reading Messages¶

The messages you received are visible on the dashboard:

Just tap a message as usual to open the conversation:

Please note that currently messages are related to an event and only organisers may send a message to the participants.

Sending a Message¶

Note

Access to this feature is reserved to event organisers (a.k.a. “reviewers”).

To send a message to all participants of a given event, open the event and tap the chat icon in the toolbar:

Former messages, if any, will be loaded and you can then use the input area at the bottom to type and send your message.

Worth mentioning: as suggested above, when you open a conversation from the dashboard, you may send another message from there as well.

Note

The recipients of a message are computed when the message is sent. This means that any member choosing to attend the event after a given message has been sent will NOT see any previous messages sent to the participants.

Other Changes¶

In addition, a few bugs have been squashed and minor enhancements integrated:

• an option has been added to the Settings to let you disable the export of a single event to your calendar. Power users know that subscribing to your Lions event feed is much better (read more);

• the edit form for social activities has been slightly reworked;

• the application is now translated into Polish, thanks to the work of Hanna and two LEOs who helped her;

• various internal libraries have been upgraded.
