Clicking the link in the ‘Confirm Registration’ email, will take the you to a web page confirming the account has been created and is ready to use. You may now log in with your newly created account credentials.
Managing groups
After logging in to the app, you will need to join some groups. Groups allow posts to be targeted to select audiences. Please note that Groups are not in alphabetical order. You can join existing groups, leave groups you have previously joined, and suggest new groups for the community. New group suggestions must be proved by the Administrator team. Once you have joined at least one group, you will start receiving posts to the group and notifications about upcoming events. You can manage your groups at any time by visiting the ‘Groups’ item on the navigation bar.
Newsfeed
In the newsfeed, you will receive posts made to groups that you have joined. The newsfeed also contains notifications about upcoming events that the ABC team would like to share with you. You can begin adding new posts to groups you belong to, by clicking the New Post button located at the bottom right of the Newsfeed screen. You can also reply to existing posts and event notifications by clicking the item in the newsfeed. Clicking the newsfeed item, takes you to the Post/Event detail screen. From here, you can reply to the item by clicking the ‘Reply’ button at the bottom right of the screen. You can return to their newsfeed at any time by visiting the ‘News’ item on the navigation bar.
Customizing profiles
You can change your profile information at any time by clicking the ‘Profile‘ icon in the navigation bar. On the ‘Edit Profile’ screen, you can modify your listed Organization and Position, as well as add a brief Description about yourself.
