Using content

Content takes up the major part of Jive, so learning to create, promote, and manage it effectively is a cornerstone of Jive collaboration.

Creating content
You can create items of the types available in your community. You should choose a content type based on your collaborative goals.
Using content editor
When you create or edit content, such as writing and formatting text, creating tables, embedding images and videos, and inserting links, you use the content editor built into Jive.
Earning status points
When you create or respond to content in Jive, you earn status points in the community.
Sharing content with other places
When you share content with a place, it shows up in that place's activity stream. Anyone following the place where the content is shared receives a notification in the stream.
Who can see my content
In Jive, people post content in places. This means that all content (such as discussions, documents, and blog posts) are published in a containing place (space, sub-space, group, or project). All places have visibility permissions (set by the place owners) that determine who can see the content posted in that place.
Differences between documents, blog posts, and discussions
Documents, blog posts, questions, and discussions have different purposes and rewards. Here you find suggests ways to think about these content types.
Status update tips and tricks
Status updates let you interact with others in the community. You can also delete your own updates, see who liked them, see other people's updates, and several other activities.
Categories of content
Content categories associate content with keywords for easier searching later.
Creating polls
You can use polls to get instant feedback on a question. A poll is a fast way to ask a multiple-choice question in the community.
Events
Events allow you to schedule, discover, and RSVP to events from your Jive community or privately manage your own schedule. Events can be created in spaces, groups, projects, or your own personal container, like other content types.
Creating documents for yourself
You can create a Hidden document to keep it private. Later, you can change the visibility to include other people if you need to.
Saving drafts
You can use the Save As Draft feature to quickly jot down and save your thoughts in documents or blog posts. Then, you can come back later to edit and publish your content. You can also collaborate with others on saved drafts before publishing them.
Using user profiles
Use your profile to express who you are to your community. If you have something you want the community to know about you, add it to one of the cards that can be found here.
Using discussions and questions
Use questions and discussions to ask questions or introduce new ideas to the community.
Flat and threaded views in discussions and questions
You can set discussion replies and content comments to be displayed all on one level (flat) or indented hierarchically (threaded).
Using documents
Jive is a powerful tool for creating and uploading documents, collaborating on them with others, and managing versions.
Working with shared office documents
As you make changes to a shared document on your computer, Jive for Office synchronizes the document with the version that's visible in the community and provides real-time notifications to users working in the same document.
Using blogs
Use blog posts to express ideas or opinions and get community feedback. If you've got something to say, you can write it in a blog.
Tweeting into Jive
You can tweet from Twitter into your Jive community by using a special hashtag.
Using visual media
You can make your Jive content more engaging by using images and videos. You can also apply these forms of visual media to your Jive place.
Copying content
You can copy a document as a new document, discussion, or blog post.
Creating templates
You can use the Create a Copy feature to create templates for yourself or others to use.
Using Marking feature
You can turn a conversation into a real business decision or collaboration success story.
Using Impact Metrics
Use Impact Metrics to gain insight on how documents and blog posts are received by the community, including their Global Reach, Impact, and Sentiment.
