Sub Communities List

Managing Sub-Communities

Sub-communities let you organize groups within your parent community - perfect for managing different teams, departments, or interest groups for your event or organization. This screen shows all sub-communities under your parent group and lets you create new ones.

Prerequisites

You’ll need an existing parent community or group to create sub-communities within it.

Viewing Your Sub-Communities

How to get there: Navigate to your parent community, then tap Sub-Communities

1. Open your parent community from the main dashboard
2. Look for the Sub-Communities section or menu option
3. You’ll see a list of all existing sub-communities with their details

The list displays each sub-community’s name, description, member count, and status (Active or Inactive). A loading spinner appears while the list is fetching data.

Organization Best Practice

For large events (weddings with 500+ guests, corporate conferences), organize by function: use sub-communities for vendor coordination, guest accommodation, catering logistics, and decor planning. This keeps communication focused and reduces chaos.

Creating a New Sub-Community

How to get there: Sub-Communities list > + button

1. Tap the + (plus button) floating in the bottom-right corner
2. You’ll be taken to the create community setup screen
3. Fill in the Community Name and optional Description
4. Configure community settings (privacy, member permissions, etc.)
5. Tap Create to save your new sub-community

The parent group ID is automatically set - you don’t need to manually enter it.

Naming Tip

For weddings: “Bridal Party Planning”, “Guest Accommodation”, “Vendor Coordination”
For college fests: “Sponsorship Team”, “Logistics”, “Marketing & Promotions”
For Diwali events: “Decoration Squad”, “Food & Sweets”, “Gift Coordination”

Opening a Sub-Community Dashboard

How to get there: Sub-Communities list > tap any community card

1. Scroll through the list to find the sub-community you want to manage
2. Tap anywhere on the community card (the card will highlight with a ripple effect)
3. You’ll open the Community Dashboard for that sub-community
4. From there, you can manage members, settings, and activities

The dashboard shows the community’s full details - name, logo, member list, and management options.

Refreshing the List

1. Pull down from the top of the list with your finger
2. The screen will refresh and reload all sub-communities
3. If any new sub-communities were created by other admins, they’ll now appear

Keep Data Fresh

Refresh the list if you don’t see a sub-community that was just created by a team member - it usually syncs within seconds, but a manual refresh guarantees you’re seeing the latest data.

Handling Empty State

If you see “No sub-communities yet” with a groups icon:

1. You haven’t created any sub-communities in this parent group yet
2. Tap the + button to create your first one
3. Or ask another group admin if they’ve created any - you might need to refresh the list

Next Best Action

After creating your sub-communities, most organizers:

• For events: Add members to each sub-community
• For ongoing groups: Set up communication channels

Troubleshooting

“Failed to load sub-communities”: Your internet connection dropped, or the server is temporarily unreachable. Tap Retry to try again. If this persists, check your Wi-Fi or mobile data connection.

I created a sub-community, but it’s not showing in the list: New communities sometimes take 2-3 seconds to sync. Pull down to refresh the list manually. If it still doesn’t appear, check that you have the correct parent group selected.

I can’t find the parent community name at the top: If the parent community name isn’t displayed, it means the parent group ID was passed but the name wasn’t loaded. This is just a display issue - your sub-communities are still organized correctly.

The + button isn’t responding: Make sure you’re fully loaded into the screen (wait for any loading spinner to finish). If it’s still unresponsive, navigate away and come back to this screen.

Members count shows 0 for all communities: Sub-communities start with just you as a member until others are invited or added. Tap into each community’s dashboard to invite people via the Add Members option.
