Get to know Jive. When you first log into Jive, the home page offers links to places where you can dive in. By default the changed items are listed with the most recent first. Use the document type icons, titles, and change age ("3 hours ago") to decide if there's anything of interest for you here at the top level.
Your community manager might have customized the default Your View page to show certain things, so it might look different from what's pictured below. This snapshot shows you things you might see.
The content type icons are your first clues as to the kinds of content you'll find and create in Jive: including documents, blogs, discussions, videos and more. You'll learn more about the types later in this tour. From the home page you can also get a feel for how you can find content. For example, through the sections on the home page you can browse by place, by content types, by bookmarks, and so on.
Also, notice that menu bar near the top of the page. It's available on all the other pages, too. Use it to:
- Create new content.
- Browse for existing content, places, and people.
- Get history for your recently viewed items.
- Check in on your stuff for items you've created or are working on.
When you're ready to customize your page, use the personalize link at the top to choose which content you want to appear here. Also click Set as default tab to make this view your homepage.
In the Find Content section of the tour you'll learn how to stay on top by using places, searches, bookmarks, notifications, and something called "feeds."
