List View
Clicking the ti ti-layout-list List button on any Connection Type or Connection Opportunity will take you to the Connections List, pictured below.
When you select ti ti-plus to add a request, Rock pre‑fills the campus and opportunity based on the active filters making adding faster and easier.
The List View Has Memory
Each time you change a setting on this view, Rock memorizes it. That means if you come back later, your list will have the same settings and preferences as before.
List View Options
If you want to pare down the things you see in the List View, click ti ti-settings to bring up the options below.
Celebrations
Celebrations allow you to highlight specific requests to encourage your team when a significant milestone occurs. Because you decide what constitutes a "win," each celebration helps set the tone for your ministry and reminds your team of the real-life impact behind the tasks.
Click ti ti-confetti on a request to bring up a screen where you can share a story about connection.
Only One Celebration
Each request can only have one active celebration at a time. This limitation is intentional, ensuring that each highlighted event maintains its significance.
Connection Request Detail (Docked View)
The Docked View is designed to keep you focused. When you select a person from the Connections List, their details "slide out" from the right side of your screen. This allows you to manage the specific needs of one individual while still keeping your full list in view.
The Activity Feed is the heartbeat of the connection request. It is a chronological history of every touchpoint between your organization and the requester. Scrolling just a little will show you this detailed view.
By default you will see Show All selected for the Activity Feed. To filter the activities shown here, click on Show All, and pick another view such as Request Notes or System Updates.
Use the arrows at the top of the docked view to move to the previous or next request. This makes it easy to review several people in a row without closing the panel each time.
Rock records every note or status change with a timestamp. This allows another staff member to pick up exactly where Alisha left off if she steps away.
Beyond just system changes, you can write personal notes to capture the "heart" of the conversation—like Ben's interest in working with the fourth-grade boys.
The feed also captures "behind-the-scenes" actions, such as when the system automatically assigns a connector or when a workflow changes a state.
By keeping an active feed, you aren't just managing a database; you are documenting a relationship.
Board View
Click the ti ti-layout-cards Board View on any Connection Type from People > Connections to access the Board View.
There's another way to experience Connections, the Connection Board gives you an overview of all the requests for the selected opportunity. Not only can you see each individual request, but you can also manage the Status of those requests without having to access each one individually.
Dragging in Sequential Status Mode
If your Connection Type has Sequential Status Mode enabled, you will only be able to drag requests on a board to next the sequential status, you cannot skip and drag it two plus statuses away in order to respect the mode you are in. For more on Sequential Status Mode, see the Configure Connection Types article.
Grid View
Click the ti ti-table Grid button on any Connection Type from People > Connections to access the Grid View.
You can click the icon in the top-right of the block to toggle between the Grid and Board views. Since we’ve already seen the board view, let’s shift over to the grid view. You can see that both views are similar, but we’ll highlight some key differences you’ll want to know about.
Connection Request Detail
We've seen connection requests at a high level, but now it's time to get into the weeds. Accessing any request from either the Grid or Board views will show its details as pictured below.
You might be wondering why you'd ever want to see activities from other opportunities. It's not uncommon for overly-ambitious requesters to sign up for multiple connection opportunities at once. Viewing activities from one opportunity in other opportunities allows you to see that they are being contacted by more than one connector.
This functionality can be disabled if needed. More on that later.
