Sub-Communities

Example: Board of Directors Committee can be created in the Association Database. Then there can be a Sub Community created in the Siteadmin, designating a set of web pages, discussion forums, or calendars to a specific community. When these two are synced, only the Board of Directors will be able to log in to this Sub Community.

To Create a Sub-Community:

• Switch to Siteadmin
• Click on Community
• Click on Sub-Communities
• Click on Add New Community in the top right corner of the screen
• Name your Community (I.E. Board of Directors)
• Indicate if this is a Public or Private Community
• Select the Menu Level 1 page to be password protected for this Community
• Select the Discussion Forum to be password protected for this Community
• Select the Calendar to be password protected for this Community

To add members to the Sub-Community:

  • You can either find an existing Sub-Community Assignment, or Click New in the top right corner
