Today’s Release: Profile Hovercards and More

Profile Hovercards

At the beginning of the year we released document hovercards, a popular feature for quickly finding out more information about documents on Geni.  Today we added the profile hovercard, which makes it easy to find out additional information about profiles in search results.

To view a profile hovercard in search results, simply hover over the link to the profile and additional information about the profile will be displayed. Profile hovercards will continue to appear in new locations across Geni in the coming weeks.

Managed By

In addition to profile hovercards, we returned the “Managed By” column to the search results to make it easier to find profiles managed by you and your collaborators.

Manager Notifications for Discussions

To make it easier to keep up with the profiles you manage, we added notifications for discussions that reference your managed profiles.  These notifications will appear in the notification area to the left of your profile picture on the Geni site wide header.

Geni Staff Icon in Discussions

Members of the Geni team frequently interact with users in the discussions, so we added a “G” icon so it’s easy to tell when a message is written by a Geni employee. This way you can know with confidence when a message is from someone that officially represents Geni.
