Welcome to the GoingOn Network
Today, we're going to take a look at Personal Commons
We can navigate to the personal commons by choosing the icon in the
upper left-hand corner
or by choosing our name and personal commons in the dropdown list
that appears.
When we go to our personal commons the first thing we see is an Activity Feed.
In this case, we see the activity feed
for a single group called About The Network.
If we'd like to see all of our group's activity feeds,
we can choose all groups
and we will see everything that happens there.
If we would like to add content to a group, we choose that group.
We have add content or we can post an update directly to the group
from our Personal Commons.
If you would prefer to go
directly to the group to add content,
just to the left of the group name
is a Visit the group icon.
Choose that and it will take you directly to your group,
where, again, you can add new content
or you can post an update.
Now if you haven't set up your profile at this point, this would be really good
time to do that.
Go to your name
and choose from from that drop down list - My Profile.
Here we are on the profile page
It's a little blank right now, let's go put a few thing in.
Go to settings.
And, in settings, the first place we land is Account Information where we can change
our password
See our username, what our roles are,
and some other information you can take
a look at; next is Portfolio privacy.
This is where you choose how your information is displayed
Or, at least, how the information you post is displayed.
You can click here and it gives you the options and then on the side it explains
what these options are.
Next are Profile Fields
In our Profile Field we'll see our Display name which is required, our First
and Last name which is also required,
some other information that you could add depending on what you want people to know
about you.
And then you probably have a blank picture. You can choose
the file
that you would like to be
your profile picture
and then upload that
and, when you're done, ensure you click save.
And then lastly we have notifications.
Notifications start with destination - where those notifications will go (your email address),
How often they will go, which is your your e-mail frequency - your options are Daily
summary or Send immediately.
And then the Default settings - which are what actions will trigger those
notifications.
You can choose our unchoose those blocks.
And, finally.
there's one feature left
called My Circle.
In my case i don't have a lot of people in My Circle
I don't have any Circle Requests.
Let's see what I can do to expand my circle.
In this case, I can go ahead and pick a group that I belong to
and see who is in that circle.
If I decide that i would like to add those people to my circle, I can choose
Add to My Circle
That's Personal Commons and Profiles. Thank you very much for watching.
