  1. Action Search: Manage Initiatives

Cause

  • A large number of users are added to the People Pool and it doesn't update before closing the Initiative Group Assignment. The system is designed to handle 100 initiatives per user, and more than 200 per user will cause system latency.

  • Initiative group is invalid (members are listed in the initiative group but can't see people info in the group assign page)
  • Initiative Group Name is over 85 characters
