Getting started

Get acquainted with your community and learn the basics of communicating, collaborating, and innovating the Jive way.

• Registering in community Depending on the community configuration, an account may be provided for you, or you can create it yourself.

• Signing in to community with two-factor authentication enabled After signing in to the community you gain access to most of the community features.

• Exploring community Here's an overview of the main components you can see and use in your community.

• Setting up your profile Setting up your profile is the first step to participating in the community.

• Updating your status Status updates are a quick, informal way to let people know you're active and engaged in the community. You can include an @mention, image, link, or video link in your post.

• Joining groups Joining and participating in social groups helps you become involved in your community.

• Rating, liking, and marking content You can rate, like, and mark content, so others know it's useful.

• Creating content You can create items of the types available in your community. You should choose a content type based on your collaborative goals.

• Participating You can engage with other users in the community by commenting on content or joining discussions.

• Alerts for people, places, and content items By using @mentions, you can alert people, places, and groups that you're talking about them.

• Finding stuff you need Here's a quick guide on looking and finding what you need.

• Pinning pages for quick access You can pin any of your streams to the News (or Home) button and pin any of your Inbox pages (Inbox, Your View, or Actions) to the Inbox icon. You can also pin either News or Inbox to your community logo. This makes getting to your favorite pages comfortable.

• Jive places: spaces, groups, and projects A place in Jive is essentially a container that houses all the collaborative content for a certain subject or team. There are three types of places: Spaces, Groups, and Projects. The differences between them can sometimes be confusing, so here're the basics of each one.

• Understanding pages in places For a place, you can customize the available pages and how these pages look.

• Inviting new community members Some communities allow you to invite other people to join.
