Introducing folders in Aize collections: Unlocking flexibility and collaboration

Written by Tom Brian | September 25, 2024

At Aize, we are committed to empowering our users with tools that make their workflows more efficient, intuitive, and flexible. The latest enhancement to our collections feature — folders — does just that. Designed to help users organise their data and tasks in a way that supports diverse use cases, Folders provide a new level of flexibility for planning, visualisation, and collaboration.

The flexibility of collections

The power of collections lies in their adaptability. Users across multiple domains — from maintenance planning to project management — have leveraged collections to address their specific needs. Whether it’s collecting items to visualise them, planning complex operations, or simply saving frequently used data, collections offer a user-driven approach to managing information.

Introducing folders: A game-changer for organisation

As the number of collections grows, so does the challenge of managing them effectively. Folders address this challenge by enabling users to organise their data more dynamically:

      • Locate and contextualise: Quickly find and categorise relevant items, helping users to understand and visualise their data in the right context.
      • Find and propose solutions: Organise materials needed to develop solutions, ensuring all relevant data is available and easily accessible.
      • Collaborate and discuss: Use folders to facilitate discussions around proposed solutions, providing a structured space for collaboration.
      • Track progress and complete tasks: Keep track of work progress by organising ongoing tasks and documents, making it easier to complete projects efficiently.

A new way to collaborate and create

What sets collections apart is their focus on the user-generated experience. Folders build on this by allowing users to create their own organisational spaces within collections. This feature supports more than just data access; it fosters a collaborative environment where users can contribute, share, and modify their workspace to fit their needs. Unlike a traditional read-only experience, Aize collections provide a dynamic platform for interaction and creation.

Moving forward: Understanding and expanding usage

While we are excited about how folders have been used so far, we know there is still much to learn about how our users can further benefit from this feature. We aim to gather more testimonials and input to better understand how folders and collections can support a broader range of tasks and workflows. Whether it's planning, collaboration, or simply organising important information, we want to make sure Aize collections continues to adapt and serve your needs.

Folders are just the beginning of our journey to provide you with more flexibility and control over your data. As we continue to refine and enhance this feature, we look forward to seeing how our users will leverage it to streamline their workflows, foster collaboration, and achieve their goals more effectively.
