A
community is the group of people organized around a common subject or
theme which is defined by the community name and description.
Communities are categorized into community types. Both the community
type and name are used in the display and when searching for people.
Community membership is managed within the AMS for AMS integrated
communities. We sometimes refer to these as formal communities.
Community membership is managed within the social network for
communities not integrated to the AMS and the join permissions can be
set to a number of different options.
You may add features to a
community. These include an eGroup (our name for a discussion list), a Resource Library, and a Microsite. The features available depend on
your license agreement.
