If you learn about a community that is doing work related
to a community that you own, share that information with other community
members.
Before you begin
You must be a community owner to share related communities.
If you do not see a Related Communities widget in your community,
add the widget to your community so that your team can share information
about similar communities. A community can contain only one Related
Communities widget.
About this task
The Related Communities widget lets you link to other communities
that might be doing work that interests your community. IBM® Connections already recommends communities
to you based on your community membership, network connections, and
tags. Other members of your community might have a different set of
community memberships, connections, and tags, so they receive different
recommendations. You might also learn about an interesting community
by another method. The Related Communities widget helps you to make
others aware of these communities that might not be recommended to
them or that they might have overlooked.
Tip: It is a good
practice not to share a restricted community as a related community.
Only people that are already members can access it.
Procedure
- On the community Overview page, click Add a
Community in the Related Communities area
of the page.
- Enter the URL for the community that you want to share.
- Enter the name of the community.
- Enter a meaningful description of the community. Think
about how the community relates to the current community and why other
members would be interested.
- Click Save.
