THE BASICS | GROUP BASICS
As a member of a group, you can interact with information and communicate with your groups from the group's web application and over email. Below is an overview of what all members of a group can do.
Interacting with groups
There are 3 simple ways to interact with groups that you are a part of.
1 - From MyDashboard
MyDashboard, your aggregated view of information across all of your groups, will keep track of information that is sent from all of your groups.
From MyDashboard, you can view and interact with information from all of your groups.
2 - From the Group
Additionally, you can send new group-wide messages by sending an email to the group email address.
When you click a group in your groups list, the interface will update to display the selected group's modules and group's welcome page.
From here you can view and interact with items in this group's modules.
3 - From any email account
All group messages, feedback requests, and events (where the admin has requested to send an email) from Convos will be forwarded to the email address you have specified in Settings. This allows you to stay on top of group communications as they are sent and reply to them from any email program or email-enabled device.
Managing your member profile
Your Member Profile is like your name tag for a group. When you first join a group, you are asked to complete a Member Profile that was created by the group admin.
You can update any of the information in your group profile at any time by clicking the "My Profile" button in the group header.
Only you and your group's administrators are able to edit your profile.
If a group admin changes the fields in the group's profile, you will be notified to update your profile the next time you login to the group.
Member Privileges
Every participant in a group has privileges that control what they can and cannot do in a group. By default, all new invitees that join a group are "Members".
Members - Members have the ability to view all information in a group. When you first join a group, you will have a Member role by default.
Moderators - Moderators can view all information in a group and can add, edit, or delete information that they have privileges for. Group administrators can set which specific modules (Messages, Events, etc.) a moderator has access to.
Group Administrators - Group administrators have the ability to view, add, edit, or delete all information in a group. Every group will have at least one group administrator.
Leaving a group
If you wish to leave a group, simply click the "My Profile" button in the group header and then click "Leave Group". You will be asked to confirm that you wish to leave the group.
All groups must have at least 1 group administrator. If you are the only group administrator and you click "Leave Group" you will not be able to leave the group until a new group administrator has been assigned.
