Community Space — navigating your communities

Overview

TheCommunities Space brings together in one place all the communities you belong to. Each community has its own space, organized into tabs that correspond to your organization’s apps.

A community brings together employees around a site, a service, or a topic. You are usually a member of several communities: the main community (the whole organization) and more targeted communities.

Access the Communities Space

From the main menu in Steeple, open Communities.

The left pane shows All communities as well as My communities — the list of the communities you are part of, with their number of members. Select a community to open its space.

A community's space

By selecting a community in the pane, its space opens as antabs. Each tab corresponds to an app:

• Posts — the community news feed. See News app.

• Categories — the categories in which posts are organized. See How do you manage categories in News?.

• Conversations — the community messaging. See Messaging app.

• Folders — the community’s shared documents. See Docs app.

• Events — the community calendar. See Events app.

• Feeds — aggregated content (RSS feeds, social networks…). See Feeds app.

• Job postings — the community job offers. See Jobs app.

• Shortcuts — the community’s useful links. See Shortcuts app.

• Collaborators — the community member directory. See Directory app.

• Devices — the TV screens attached to the community. See TV screens.

The tabs displayed adapt to your subscription: an app not included in your plan does not appear in the community space.

Manage your community

Managing a community is reserved for administrators. The administrator role can be assigned to any type of community (main, manual, dynamic) — see Employee roles and permissions.

From the administration, you can:

• Manage members — add or remove members from a manual community; the main community and dynamic communities are managed automatically. See How do you manage community members?.

• Handle membership requests — accept or reject pending requests. See How do you manage community membership requests?.

• Configure the community — access the settings, publication categories, and shortcuts. See How do you view communities?.

• Delete a community — after deleting its publication categories. See How do you delete a community?.

What the assistant can do

The assistant can guide you to the Communities Space and help you find a community. For actions within a community (posting, chatting, viewing documents…), it directs you to the relevant app. With Administration scope, it can also add or remove members from a community.
