Understanding the Pools List

Beamery is upgrading it's design system to which will lead to even greater consistency and improved usability for all users. As the new design is rolled out across the platform, the first place you'll get to experience the greater accessibility is in the Pools List.

We've designed this page to improve the user experience and help you find what you need quickly and easily. Learn below about the design features available in the new Pools list.

  1. Searches and Filters - Quickly find the Pools you’re looking for with search and filters. Filters now save so you won’t need to reconfigure them every time.
  2. Export to CSV - A commonly requested feature, you can now easily export your Pools data to use outside of Beamery.
  3. Create Pool - Use this button to begin creating a new Pool. Check out this article for a guide to creating a new Pool
  4. Pool Name - Click on the name of the Pool to open the grid view of this Pool.
  5. Pool Columns - The new grid layout can display far more data on your Pools at the same time so you can see more at once.
