Step-by-Step Guide to Using the Community Members Panel
Step 1: Analyze User Growth
Steps:
Check the Growth Chart for new user counts and overall growth trends.
Identify time periods with noticeable spikes or dips in user acquisition.
Use these insights to evaluate the success of campaigns or onboarding efforts.
Tips:
Monitor the impact of marketing initiatives by comparing user acquisition rates before and after campaigns.
Investigate periods of stagnant growth for potential process improvements.
Step 2: Review User Roles and Distribution
Purpose: Ensure a balanced community structure.
Steps:
Review the categorized counts of Admins, Managers, Contributors, and Members in the User Summary panel.
Identify imbalances, such as too few admins or an inactive contributor base, as these can hinder content moderation and overall community engagement.
Reassign or recruit users to maintain community effectiveness.
Tips:
Use data to justify role adjustments or plan training sessions for underperforming user groups.
Step 3: Dive Into Individual User Activity
Purpose: Understand individual engagement patterns.
Steps:
Use the User List table to filter by role, activity status, or last login date.
Identify inactive members for targeted re-engagement campaigns.
Highlight top contributors for recognition or leadership opportunities.
Tips:
Export the user list as a CSV for in-depth analysis or report sharing.
Track top contributors’ activity patterns to replicate success across the community.
Step 4: Address Inactive or Blocked Users
Purpose: Re-engage inactive users and manage blocked accounts.
Steps:
Identify users marked as inactive in the User List.
Plan personalized outreach, such as emails highlighting new content relevant to their interests, discount offers for courses, or exclusive event invitations, to re-engage them.
Regularly review blocked accounts to ensure they meet community guidelines or resolve issues.
Tips:
Use targeted surveys to understand why members became inactive. For example, ask questions like 'What content or features would bring you back?' or 'What challenges have prevented you from engaging recently?'
For blocked users, maintain clear documentation for any disputes or follow-ups.
Examples of Using the Community Members Panel Effectively**
Boosting Engagement: A Neutopia client identified that 40% of contributors hadn’t logged in for over three months. By sending personalized messages highlighting new features, they reactivated 50% of these users within one month.
Improving Role Balance: A community realized they had too few managers to moderate content effectively. Using the User Roles section, they promoted active contributors into manager roles, reducing moderation backlog by 30%.
Tracking Campaign Success: After launching a referral program, a company used the Growth Chart to track a 20% increase in new users over two weeks, validating the program’s effectiveness.
Best Practices for Managing Users

Address Inactivity Promptly:
Develop re-engagement strategies for users who haven’t logged in recently.
