Product releases in 2021

Zooming out made even easier

In Peerdom you can easily navigate from it by clicking on the role or place of the map you would like to see. Looking at a role up close? Click “zoom out” to get back to the map overview.

Only owner can create a new organization from within an organization

You can create a new organization through the global add button. This caused confusion as most peers who clicked on this option created (accidental) organizations. We have simplified the options and left it to owners only to create a new organization.

Stay informed about important changes to your organization settings

Peerdom allows you to choose how much information you share with the world. Owners now receive an email when a peer modifies these organization settings: public visibility, its Peerdom link, data anonymisation or the sharing of private links.

The Journal timeline shows events from the Goals App

If you have both the Journal and Goals app activated, the Journal history now displays Goal events. The events involve the creation of a new goal, the removal of a goal, and updates to goals that lead to its completion.

Define a date range for goals

What better way to make sure you reach your goals than a deadline? We added a DATE FROM as well as a DATE TO to goals, and on top show the days left until DATE TO is reached.

Permissions to add yourself to a public organization

We have recently added the ability to “directly add yourself as a peer”. We made sure that only map creators have permissions to add themselves as a peer to a public organization.

Adding yourself to another organization just got easier

We’ve made it easier to add yourself as a peer to a new organization. If you create a new, independent organization, you can go to the peer drop down menu and directly add yourself as a peer.

Visual contribution bar on your profile

If you activate the Contribution app, everyone gets a visual contribution bar on their peer profile. This bar shows the sum of your contribution across roles compared to your total available contribution.

New App: Goals

Align and motivate your team by adding strategic goals to roles and role groups. Track your progress towards achievement across the whole organization with a visual overview on your map.

A personal journal for each peer

For organizations with the Journal App enabled, each peer profile now includes a personalised history of all activity for that peer.

A full role holding history is available

A few releases ago, the Journal App was updated to include previous roles on one’s peer profile. The previous role section has been expanded to include roles which no longer exist on your live map.

Journal app includes Contribution changes

Get your whole team up to speed on time commitment changes. In addition to announcing when a role was taken on or left, the Journal now also highlights contribution changes in roles.

A new look for the App Store

The App pages in our App Store got a new look. Get a better idea of what each App adds to your personal Peerdom map with the top functionalities listed.

Previously held roles are on the peer profile

Relive and learn from one’s unique path through the roles they’ve previously held. Just visit a peer’s profile and expand the new “Previously held roles” section to see one’s historical contributions to your organization.

Overview all peers who hold a mirrored role across the organization

Mirrored roles are linked together and scattered across your organization. Now you can see all role holders across the organization by clicking on the “Mirrored with” link.

Track contribution with a visual bar

A bar on the peer profile indicates if the sum of individual role contributions is more or less than one’s total expected contribution. This is useful for tracking if one is overworking or has additional capacity.

Assuring peer profile address anonymisation

We have tightened privacy even further for peer profiles: Visitors who browse an anonymised map cannot figure out a person’s name from the profile address.

Flexibly copy and move parts of one map to another

The Drafts App allows you to work on multiple maps at once. Do you like a particular part of your draft design? Copy specific areas of a draft map to the published map. Or the other way around: Copy parts of your live map to any of your drafts!

Choose to copy a role with or without holders

Save yourself some manual work when duplicating a role or circle. When copying them, you’re now able to maintain role holders.

Create a new organization from a draft

Use your previous learnings and spin-off an entirely new organization from one of your drafts. Your new organization will have its own Peerdom link and you as the initial map owner. Click the (…) on any draft, then select “Publish as new organization”.

Organization settings in the navigation bar

To make navigation more intuitive, we have added the organization settings to the navigation sidebar. In the organization settings, you can update your organization name, export data, fix how you format names, and much more.

Switch between your organizations

If you have access to more than one Peerdom organization, you can now simply extend the profile menu and switch to any of your organizations.

Guest accounts have well defined limits

Guest accounts are free in Peerdom. We made these accounts even more useful by allowing Guests to see the Map, role descriptions, and peers without restriction. Guests can also visit any peer’s profile and see their full name and picture. They are unable to see other personal information such as birthdate or email.

Change role contributions from your profile

Update how much you contribute to each role directly on your profile. The profile also now highlights roles where you contribute (green) and those where there’s no contribution (red). Check the sum of your contributions against your total attendance to balance your workload.

Archive drafts

Time to tidy up your draft desk! Keep your draft space clean by archiving all of those organization designs that did not make the cut. Don’t worry, you can always bring them back later if you wish to unarchive.

Projects are now visualized on the map

All ongoing projects are now drawn directly on the map, surrounding the roles. Clicking on a project reveals the project details and highlights all involved roles.

Export map data

Your data is all yours: Export all data you’ve ever put into Peerdom. Choose between Excel, CSV or JSON format.

Set your default email client

Does your organization use Microsoft Outlook? Change your default email client in the organization settings page to properly format group emails sent from Peerdom to roles and circles.

Added role focus to your peer profile

Your peer profile shows all the roles you hold and now also highlights any role focus you may have on that role.

Peerdom prints pretty

Until now, contributions were only displayed for individual roles. Now you can see the total contribution of all roles in a group (circle).

Configure how you display peer names

How does your team refer to one another? You can now choose how you display peer names in the organization settings. Choose your favorite order of first, last, and nicknames.

Your contribution in hours and FTE

The Contribution App lets you define percentage involvement per role and per peer. You can now change the contribution type to be measured in hours or FTE (full-time equivalents).

How much does your circle contribute?

Until now, contributions were only displayed for individual roles. Now you can see the total contribution of all roles in a group (circle).

Improving data privacy

We’ve tightened our safety framework by preventing external backend queries aiming to decipher the names of anonymised Peerdom users.

Your projects on your peer profile

We have expanded your peer profile to include not only your roles and mission statement. Now, you can also view the projects you are working on directly from your personal profile.

The Missions app got a new look

It has been some time since we have brushed up on the Missions app. This release it got some love and here it is with a fresh look.

Projects without members now wear stripes

You only added empty roles to your project and plan to do so later? The projects where you have not assigned role holders yet stand out and remind you that they are still missing.

Sketch out project roles before deciding who contributes

You might know which roles you need in your project, but sometimes you don’t know yet who will do it. Now you can add empty roles to a project and choose the role holder later depending on their availability and eagerness.

Select a Project Representative

You can now define a single point of contact for a project. This representative might for example be a project coordinator, leader, or spokesperson.

Tight budget? Limited access guest accounts are here

Peerdom brings your organization the most value when you map your whole team. For those colleagues that rarely consult Peerdom, we now offer free guest accounts with restricted functionality.

Restricting access to sensitive data

We’ve improved data privacy by preventing backend queries to return any personal information hidden on anonymised or public maps.

Project groups

The Projects app got some love with this release: Keep your projects organized by putting them into groups.

Drag and drop projects into groups

You’ve had enough of selecting from drop down menus? Simply drag and drop your projects into the group they belong to.

Free Apps

Did you know that some of our apps are free? They are now marked to stand out in the App Store.

Enable or disable map sharing

You decide if your map can be shared. Owners can now allow creation of shared links in their organizational settings.

Make your organization public

Did you know you know you can make your organization public? To allow anyone to view your organization owners can set their map to public in the organization settings.

Elections app weekly reminders

Staying on top of elections just got a lot easier: Affected circles are now getting an email one week before an election is due.

App Store launch

Find who and what you are looking for with the universal search

Be it peer, role, circle or organization – avoid clicking through circles or scrolling through peer lists by searching directly for key words.

Elections app is here

Democratise your organization making roles electable and electing the holder for a given term. Keep track of election dates and get a notification when the re-election is due.

Another way to set a roles as representative

Representative roles have a special status, for instance as spokespeople or leaders of a circle. Now you can go to the role, edit it and set it as a representative.

Looking for a particular role on a peer’s profile? You can now sort roles in alphabetical order, or if the Contribution app is enabled, sort by one’s contribution percentage.

Anonymise personal data

Making your map public or sharing it via a link exposes names, photos and role assignments. You can now anonymise all personal data by hiding names and blurring photos.

Create private drafts

Copy your current map into a private draft to experiment behind the scenes. Your private draft will remain hidden until you share it with others.

See whether your organization is public or private

Organizations can be set to private or public, depending on how much information you want to share. The public/private status is now available in your organization overview.
