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.

  • 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
