Let’s add some groups

Groups are special sub communities that help you organize discussions around various subject matters and special interests that you define.  They are flexible in context and structured from an organization perspective.  Members can join and self-organize within groups and share important collaborations and content with each other.

Groups can be public or private.  They can utilize special functions such as Events, Surveys, and more.  They can also provide file sharing capabilities as well as foster discussions and forums.

Some example groups we would like to suggest to you:

• Feedback – Feedback area from your users
• General Information – General information such as new features, down time, and general communications

Would you like us to generate these for you – it’s quite simple and should help understand how to build them and realize their value.

­Now may be a good time to review your profile setup

The user profile plays another key role with understanding who is in the community.  This understanding helps you improve the experience, organize people into collections of common interests AND direct various content to them based on their persona.  Profile Attributes are very simple to set up and very powerful for your users to experience.
