Welcome to Apps4Rent video tutorial.
Today I will take you through a quick demo on the new Community Sites social feature in SharePoint 2013.
This is the new SharePoint 2013 site.
In order to create a community site in this SharePoint 2013 site.
First go to Site Settings.
Click on Site Contents option given here.
And you will be taken to this page.
Here, below, you will find the new subsite option. Click on that.
Further, here, add the title that you desired to have for your subsite.
Enter a description.
Enter a desired url.
Click on the Community Site option under the collaboration tab.
Further, as shown here, check the required user permissions.
Check in the Yes or No box to decide whether you want to display the subsite created on the quick launch bar or the top link bar of the parent site.
And finally hit the 'Create' button.
Subsequently, you will be taken to the new out-of-the-box Community site.
You can go ahead and start new discussions here.
For that, just add the subject and body of discussion topic in the box given here.
A discussion can be marked as a question when it is created.
Further, you select the category.
And then hit the Save button.
Here, as you can see, is the new discussion I just created under the General category.
Members can post replies to it or also can like the discussions.that I have created.
You can have a view of hot topics discussed by the members here.
Members can also have a view of discussions carried out by me as a member here.
Another interesting part in the community site are the community tools.
It allows you to manage your discussions, create categories, and create badges.
Badges are gained by achieving specific reputation points or you can also manually grant badges to other users.
Moving further, I feel, reputation is yet another interesting and nice feature included in 2013 community site.
There are a few configuration settings when it comes to community reputation.
The member has a reputation score as well as metric indication points required to move to the next level.
Reputation helps identify experts within an organization
Also, available are two other settings under the Community Settings option.
That is the established date and reporting of offensive content option.
When offensive content is reported, the content is removed from view.
Then you have this 'What's happening' section on the right-hand corner of your site.
Here, you can have a quick view of members in the community site, discussions happening, replies, so on and so forth.
You can also have a quick view of the top contributors of your community site.
Further, the members page offers you a view of who joined the community or was invited to join.
This page can be sorted by Top contributors, New Members, etc.
Another interesting feature is the category section.
It helps organize the community discussion board. Each category list item has a name, description, and picture.
