Create a Cloud Discussion

Create content that will appear under the menu item Community.

The sixth menu item is titled Community.  This is the current space for the Discussion Threads and is the future home of the Member Directory.

Getting Started

To create your first Discussion, click Create New Group Post.  It is on the lower right of your homepage, or at the top of your pages.  A new page will pop up on your screen with choices of different types of content.  Select Cloud Discussion Thread, and clicking save by scrolling to the bottom of the box.  You can choose who will see your page here too, but you will have an opportunity to change it on the next screen.

Your page

Figure xx is a screen shot similar to what you will find when you click Create New Post.  As you can see, there are a lot of fields, but you do not need to fill in all of them.  Fill in whichever fields are relevant to the content you would like to have displayed on your page.

Definitions of Fields

*  Title: This will be the name of the page you are creating.  It will appear on a sub menu on the “About” page.   

*  Body (Edit Summary):  Here is where you can type or paste as much as you like.  You can also add links here.

*  Related Content:  Once you create multiple pages you can connect them by using Related Content.   

*  Tags:  These are subject keywords.  Seperate each of them by commas.  

*  Groups Audience:  This is how you will choose WHERE the page is displayed.  It will default to the page you are working on.  If you are an admin of multiple sites such as committees you will be see multiple items in this list.  If you choose “none” the page will have a URL but it will not be connected through the menu to the site – more on this later.

*  Group Content Visibility: This concerns WHO can see your site.  You can choose whether everyone can see your page (public), just Quakers can see your site, or only your meetings members can see the page. 

Remember, not all of these fields need to be filled in!  You can also come back and update later.

DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE.
