Back: How Do I Make a New Page?

You're now ready to use your workspace! Now, think about how you want to use it for you and your workgroup, and start creating and editing pages.

To start, you might want to create a personal page for yourself. Just visit the dashboard and click the New Page button. Or, you can start with any other page you'd like.

For more ideas, check out the collection of Best Practices over at the Socialtext Customer Exchange.

Enjoy!

Here's an example of what a conversation page might look like...

Group-forming metrics

Adina - I spoke this afternoon to Anil Gupta over at CyberProteins, Inc. They are interested in the groupforming metrics reports, and are interested in additional metrics about network growth.

Ed - It would also be useful to configure these reports more rapidly in the field. We should also consider think about providing services helping customers to choose and implement the right metrics. I'll bring this up at the next business-plan meeting.

Quick Start

Here's the 2-minute basic intro:

  1. Edit this Page. Then type as you like.
  2. You can't do any permanent damage. See "Revisions" to see revision history for a page and undo changes if needed
  3. See "Recent Changes" to see what people have been adding lately
  4. Create a new page by putting a page name in [square brackets] (creates a new page in this wiki site), like this: page name
  5. Create a hyperlink (an external link) by placing an existing URL in <angle brackets>, like this: http://www.example.com/

Up: Workspace Tour - Table of Contents

Hi! This quick tour will help you get acquainted with your Socialtext Workspace. It's easy to do. After you've read each page, just click on the blue underlined link at the bottom to go to the next page -- sort of like turning the page in a book.

A Socialtext Workspace is a way to work together on the web that's fast and fun.

It's a flexible way for you and your team to organize information.

Right now, the information you're looking at is a few paragraphs of text, like you could read in a newspaper or a book.
