Jive 5 removes some old-school methods of customization but provides a far more you-centric community experience through a more intuitive interface and smart recommendations.
When you're ready to make the most of the new features in Jive 5, read on! We'd like to take a little time to introduce you to a few new features in Jive 5 that will make your life easier and help you use your time more efficiently.
You now have 5 ways to keep track of and find stuff. You now have more powerful ways to bookmark content, navigate history, filter what you see, browse a category, and search it all. See Find Stuff You Need to discover more about each of these features so you can start using these tools right away.
The world of Apps comes right to your community, and with them you can customize and streamline your experience. Click to add a dashboard. From there click to access all the Apps available to you.
Reduce email notifications by setting your preferences. To the top right, next to your name, select from the drop-down menu. Under Email Preferences, you have many options for controlling what communications, action items and other notifications get sent to your Email. You can also choose to receive a digest of people, places, or content you're following.
Because @mentioning in status updates was so popular, we also enhanced the content editor with this communication tool. Now you can invoke the @mention menu by typing the "@" character whenever you are creating content in the content editor. When you mention a place in your status update or in the content editor, it will now be pushed into the mentioned place's activity stream on its Overview page, and into What Matters: Activity for those people who are following that place. For more on @mentioning, see Shout Out to People, Places, and Things
What Matters is the way Jive 5.0 connects you with timely, relevant information within a busy community. For more on What Matters, see What Is What Matters?
