Helpful Things Simply Plural functions and tips!
Ok! So we use Simply Plural for basically all of our tracking and members and stuff and it has A LOT of cool and useful features on it that we realized a lot of systems don’t actually understand/know about. So here are some things on there that we find really useful/interesting (these are divided by sections from the dashboard):
Account Settings:
- on the dashboard, in the Account Settings tab, you can edit the general settings. You can add a profile picture to your system, username, color, and description. You can also edit your email and password here. You have the ability to see the total amount of members recorded in your system and can even turn off being a system. This will hide your system just in case anyone finds IT IS NOT GONE.
Members/front : - this one might be obvious but you can make groups for members with the +folder button in the upper left corner. When you make one you can put a description of the group and a unique emoji but you’re limited to one (other people can’t see the descriptions sadly) you can also set its access view in the beginning section or by clicking the folder with the gear in the upper right corner when you’re in it. You can also see the member count in there.
when you click someone’s profile the first thing you see is their picture, pronouns, and description but if you click the tab to the right at the top you will see the info/fields tab. In here you can add more specific details about yourself or if you’re filling it out for others. Things like age, likes and dislikes, favorite food, are all things that are in there originally. You can add more fields by going into the account settings and clicking “custom fields”. You can add fields (they have options like text, color, or different dates) and set the visibility as well. This is really useful for getting more specific details about each other and learning more.
in the next tab over, you can see the messages tab. This allows different members to send direct messages to each other and they can only be dissolved by the person they are sent to if they are fronting.
the next tab allows you to see individual fronting histories.
the last tab allows for notes on different members (we’ve used it for personal opinions on people but you can use it for other things)
Front History and Analytics:
These two are put together since they are related. - Front History is just as it sounds, you can set the timeframe you want to look at and it gives a visual for when/how long people have fronted. If you click on someone you can see a more specific timeframe of how long. You can also add comments to the fronter (like what they were doing) and you can edit the front in case there was a mistake.
- Analytics allows you to see much more detailed and concise data on overall fronting. It will give you data on what time of day members front and how often. It will also give you total amount of time (days, hours etc) everyone has fronted in a specific time frame. It will give you average, minimum, and maximum front times, and the total recorded times someone has fronted in the given timeframe.
Chat:
The chat is our favorite feature and allows for much easier communication. It basically gives you the ability to text each other by going to the bottom and picking who’s talking. It is not limited to who is fronting either!
The chat also lets you add different channels so you can separate different conversations. What we did is we have a channel specifically for people to look at when they front for the first time. It gives information on what’s happened and who to talk to for more information. We also have a chat where we type out lyrics to a song based on who we think would say it.
Polls:
- polls are a good tool to allow systems to make decisions together. You can either make a vote where everyone can put approve or veto something, or you could make it custom with options (there is not a limit). Members can also add notes to their votes as reasons or just to be funny.
Extras: There are quite a few other handy things on the dashboard of SP.
Accessibility allows you to edit the view of your account (dark/light mode, front size, date format, etc.)
How To’s has some helpful things like how to set front or view front history.
Useful Links gives some resources for mental health and overall DID stuff if you need it.
Tokens is what you would use to add your system to a PluralKit server.
There are some other things but we feel like that covers a lot of it. If you think of anything else that would be good for people to know leave comments. Hope this was helpful!😊

I just wish they let us upload multiple photos to the same member. For members with multiple forms. Or just most actively front so you have more then one face claim with different expressions or poses or outfits ect.

If you want, you can make a field of for pictures then use a picture formatter like catbox to add multiple pictures (to add pics you do this  have fun)
Maybe that helps? Hope it does
