Community Workflows

ZGRID does not treat community activity as disconnected from building operations. Resident reporting, community help, directory visibility, and moderation-oriented flows sit inside the same shared platform state as issues, notifications, and manager work.
Current Scope
The current community layer includes:
- help requests
- conduct reports
- noise notices
- resident directory visibility and preferences
These flows are implemented across the API, mobile experience, and manager-facing review or visibility surfaces where relevant.
Help Requests
Help requests support lightweight community coordination inside a building context.
Current shape:
- residents can create and view building-scoped requests
- requests can be claimed or fulfilled where the workflow supports it
- the flow stays tied to building scope rather than becoming a separate messaging system
Conduct Reports
Conduct reports support resident reporting for behavior or rule-related incidents that need manager visibility.
Current shape:
- tenants can submit and review their own reporting flow
- managers can review, warn, resolve, dismiss, or mark abuse where the workflow supports those actions
- the workflow is designed as a moderated operational process, not an open social feed
Noise Notices
Noise notices support building-level reporting around disturbance events.
Current shape:
- tenants can submit noise-related notices through the mobile/API flow
- the capability sits alongside the broader community and operational reporting layer
- the feature is intentionally scoped to building operations rather than general chat or commentary
Resident Directory
The resident directory is a scoped community visibility feature, not a public directory.
Current shape:
- directory access is bound to the relevant building context
- residents can manage preference-driven visibility where supported
- manager and resident surfaces rely on API-enforced scope checks rather than client-only filtering
Design Principle
The ZGRID community layer is meant to keep building communication and reporting structured.
That means:
- community workflows stay building-scoped
- moderation and visibility rules stay API-enforced
- resident-facing convenience does not replace operational traceability
