Waivio updates: May 4, 2020

In order to make the voting process for object updates more transparent, Waivio now displays two parameters: Approval (%) and Vote count.

Approval (%) is the factor that defines whether or not the update will be displayed. It can range from 0% (Reject votes only) to 100% (Approve votes only). If the Approval value is 50%, it means that this update received an equal value of approval and rejection votes. A minimum threshold of 70% is required for the update to be added to the object.

Vote count: This is a parameter used to sort approved updates. If a particular field can only have one winning update, it will take the approved update with the highest Vote count. For example, there could be only one icon representing the object, while there could be multiple photos in the gallery. The vote count can be positive or negative, depending on the balance of Approve/Reject votes.

For example, a user @diningguide added a phone (123) 456-7890 to an object Test restaurant:

New phone number
At this stage the update has a single Approve vote by @diningguide and the update is approved (100%) with the Vote count of 0.0036.

The user can easily remove this update by simply changing their vote to Reject:

Phone removed by the author
In the same way the user can vote Approve again and the update will become valid again.

Waivio allows you to add up to three phone numbers to an object. So, if the user adds another phone (987) 765-4321, this time with the title "Pickup orders", both numbers will be displayed :

Second phone number added
The Vote count for the second phone is higher (0.0049 vs. 0.0036) and it is displayed above the first number.

With each subsequent update of the object, the user gains more expertise in the object and the value of their vote increases, even though the voting power used to upvote both updates was the same.
