Create your own group if you cannot find any interesting groups or you need a group for your team. Groups enable users to collaborate in a team and to participate in a special interest group or a particular topic. There are public and private groups. Public groups are open to all users. For private groups, a coordinator decides who is to be granted access to the group.
Prerequisite
Creating groups is enabled in the ARIS Administration configuration ( Application launcher >
Administration >
Configuration > Collaboration > General settings > Create group).
Collaboration administrators can assign user groups from ARIS to groups in Collaboration if the relevant ARIS user groups are enabled for Collaboration in the ARIS Administration configuration ( Application launcher >
Administration >
Configuration > Collaboration > Configure user groups).
Procedure
Click Application launcher >
Collaboration.
Click Create group.
Enter the name of the group and the short name.
Describe the group's interests, so that your group can be found by other users. The best way to do this is to use keywords.
If necessary, specify an additional coordinator who will manage the group profile
and privileges ( Add coordinator).
Instead of inviting each user individually to join the group, assign ARIS user groups. Click Add user group. The dialog opens. Enter a search term for the relevant ARIS user group, and click Find. The search result is displayed.
Click the relevant ARIS user group in the search result, and click OK. The ARIS user group is assigned to the Collaboration user group.
To remove an ARIS user group, click Delete in the row of the relevant user group.
Enable () Force the sending notifications to the user group members if you want to override the users' individual notification settings. This means that group members receive notifications from this Collaboration user group even if they specified Never for group notifications.
Enable the relevant privacy option (Public/Private). After saving the group, you cannot change this option.
For private groups, you can follow portal feeds.
Click OK. The group is displayed in your groups list.
To remove the group from your groups list, click Unpin next to the group's name. This is useful to provide a better overview if you are following a lot of groups.
The group is created. Depending on your decision, the group is displayed or not under Groups.
Using tags, other users can find the group and follow its posts. In private groups, only members are able to read the posts. The group's name and description will, however, be visible in search results for non-members, as well.
