Open Joinue

Running a group

For a book club, a run club or a team that keeps meeting: make a Space, set it up, bring people in, and host from it.

Updated

A Space is the home for a group that outlives any one event. This is the path from an empty Space to a group that's meeting, with a link to the detail at each step.

  1. 1Tap the create button and pick Create space. Name it, then under Start from a type pick the kind of group it is, like Book club, Run & fitness club, Trivia team or Sports team. A type comes set up for that kind of group. It stays once the Space is made, though its settings and sections can change later. See What are Spaces?.
  2. 2Set Who can join: Public (anyone on Joinue can read posts and join), Open (only members see posts, and organizers approve who joins) or Private (people join by invite). Then tap Create space. See Space privacy.
  3. 3Bring people in. A Space nobody has joined yet shows you a card that says Your space is ready. Tap Invite people to pick from your Orbit or share the Space's invite link.
  4. 4On the same card, tap Set up its sections and turn on what the group will use: Gallery for photos, Docs for files, Money for dues, or a Handbook for the rules. Later, it's Customize sections in the Space's menu. See Set up a Space's sections.
  5. 5Host from the Space. On its Plans tab (some types call it Schedule), tap Host event and pick A one-time event, An event that repeats, or A Regular, which is the group's usual time. See Create an event and Make your event repeat.
  6. 6Once the Space has Regulars, its Home opens on the coming week and members answer each date with I'm in or Can't. See Weekly runs and check-ins.
Running a team? The Trivia team and Sports team types add a schedule, a card for the next game, and results. See Trivia and sports team Spaces.
