Advanced Getting Around

Up: Workspace Tour - Table of Contents
Back: How do I find my way around?

Here are some more advanced workspace navigation techniques. If you like, you can go back to the basic page, called How do I find my way around?

You can use tags to group pages that are related. Anyone can put a tag on a page by clicking the Add tag button in the sidebar. You can find pages with a given tag by clicking the tag if it appears in the sidebar, or by going to the dashboard, then clicking on the "All tags" link.

Again, you're looking at a page in a Socialtext Workspace. It provides a way to organize information and collaborate on the web.

What else can be in a workspace? Perhaps another way people keep track of things, say a to-do list.

Keith's To-do List


Pages can contain links, as in the case of the words "Marketing Proposal" above.

A workspace can also hold documents that people are working on...

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.

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.

What's the funny punctuation?

Up: Workspace Tour - Table of Contents
Back: What if I make a mistake?

In the background, Socialtext formats pages with a few extra symbols, like brackets and asterisks, in the text. For the most part, when editing you can ignore this. However, you may come across these symbols, for example, while browsing through the page revision history. Additionally, you can use the symbols while editing in Advanced mode.

To learn how to use the symbols, when you're editing a page in Advanced mode, click the "Edit tips" link at the top.
