Community Management

Set Access
Access your community from your own domain (e.g., www.mycompany.com) or a subdomain on YouFig (e.g., mycompany.youfig.com).

Control Registration

Private Registration: Limit registrations only to people with specific email addresses (e.g., @mycompany.com, @myschool.edu).

Community Members

Collaboration

Workspaces
Collaborate in real-time, easy to use Workspaces with structured chat and an endless selection of collaboration widgets. See who's online. Start as many Workspaces for as many topics as you need and easily manage your team of collaborators.

Collaboration Widgets
Collaboration widgets are real-time collaborative applications that can be added to any workspace and include apps such as documents, spreadsheets, to-do lists, file sharing, photo sharing, maps, co-browsing, games, and many many more. Each collaboration widget is completely real-time and collaborative, so you can see what others are working on and who contributed what and when.

Workgroups
Create workgroups for your class, team or division.

Public Workgroups: Great for organizing groups of members and Workspaces.

Private Workgroups: Useful to seal-off sections of a community and prevent certain members from seeing and being seen (e.g., consultants, customers, outsiders, etc.).

Invitations & Requests
Invite registered community members to your Workspaces or, with the proper privileges, people from outside of the community as well. Get invited to collaborate on others' Workspaces or request to join them as a collaborator.

Notifications
Get notified via email and to your dashboard when you're invited to collaborate or when one of your Workspaces are updated (e.g., new messages, new document versions, new files, new widgets, etc.). Adjust email notification type and frequency as desired.

Workspace Browsing
Browse public Workspaces to see what others in the community are collaborating on!

Recommended Workspaces
Get recommendations of Workspaces to collaborate on based on your profile and previous behavior in the community. Turn recommendations on or off.

Tag any workspace with searchable keywords.

Dashboard
View all of your activity in the community in a single view on your personal dashboard.

Social Networking

Member Profiles
User profiles include a history of the public Workspaces you collaborated on, personal descriptions, categories of expertise, contact info, links to connections, profile messages, and more.
