A glaring hole in LotusLive
Tags :LotusLive
As much as I get frustrated with some of the tiny things in LotusLive, this one is huge to anyone attempting to gett their business involved or even have people from Lotusphere come in the site for content.
When you first come in you are able to create an account and also a company profile. You are then the owner of that company profile. From there you may invite others from your company to join and hook them all together. So far so good. And then the walls come down. Since everyone is being encouraged to start creating accounts, they are. And what you get is multiple upon multiple company profiles for the same exact company and no way to merge or restrict that from happening.
For example I have had ours since early in the beta for Bluehouse. Now that Lotusphre has come and gone, plus the recent press, some of the people here willingly joined up due to Lotus saying all content will be there from Lotusphere. You would think that if they tried to enter the company name it would say, WAIT, are you part of this company? Let me send an approval request to the company profile owner to add you in, but here is your account anyway. Nope, not the way they did it. They say, here you go new account holder, your own company.
Now it gets worse. So I say add/invite (not the word ADD here) a person to my company profile. I type in the email address of the person and it says, no way, that person already has an account! So I cannot add them to the profile. So they check when adding but not when registering and once added I cant get them over to the right one? Or remove the duplicate? UGH
