Member in detail
In Sociana a member is not a generic user account. It is a person's membership of one particular occasion, carrying a role, profile fields and group memberships. The same human can be a guest in one occasion and a manager in another, and each membership has its own history, points and permissions. Profile fields are chosen per occasion: employee code, city, zone, category tags, dietary needs, whatever the organiser needs to segment and serve people. Members arrive in several ways: loaded from a CSV import, matched against a guest list, admitted by an allowed company email domain, approved after registration, or created automatically when a ticket is bought. Because content, polls, chat and notifications are scoped by group, membership is what drives personalised experiences. It is also the denominator for the headline metrics, since activation and participation are counted against eligible members, not downloads.
How Sociana uses it
Members live in the occasion's member list in the admin panel, with role, profile fields and group assignments editable singly or by CSV import. Activation rate counts members who signed in, divided by members invited.
Example
A corporate annual conference loaded employees with city and zone fields, so each member saw agenda items and polls for their own region.
