Group-based communication system dynamic group-based communication interface focusing

A system for displaying user communications in a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication platform, the system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory configured to:

• receive a user focus selection input from a first user;
• activate a focus mode for the group-based communication interface based on the user focus selection input;
• identify a focus threshold value based on the user focus selection input;
• receive a first user communication from a second user;
• determine whether to display the first user communication in the group-based communication interface based on the activated focus mode, the focus threshold value based on the user focus selection input, and a focus value associated with a group-based communication channel to which the first user communication is posted, wherein the group-based communication channel is a virtual communications environment configured to display communications posted by channel members and the focus value associated with the group-based communication channel is a numerical value representing an importance level for the communications posted to the group-based communication channel;
• and
• in accordance with a determination to display the first user communication based on the determining, display the first user communication in the group-based communication interface;
• or
• in accordance with a determination not to display the first user communication based on the determining, forego displaying the first user communication in the group-based communication interface.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium for displaying user communications in a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication platform, the non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• receive a user focus selection input from a first user;
• activate a focus mode for the group-based communication interface based on the user focus selection input;
• identify a focus threshold value based on the user focus selection input;
• receive a first user communication from a second user;
• determine whether to display the first user communication in the group-based communication interface based on the activated focus mode, the focus threshold value based on the user focus selection input, and a focus value associated with a group-based communication channel to which the first user communication is posted, wherein the group-based communication channel is a virtual communications environment configured to display communications posted by channel members and the focus value associated with the group-based communication channel is a numerical value representing an importance level for the communications posted to the group-based communication channel;
• and
• in accordance with a determination to display the first user communication based on the determining, display the first user communication in the group-based communication interface;
• or
• in accordance with a determination not to display the first user communication based on the determining, forego displaying the first user communication in the group-based communication interface.
