Content Types

Turn content types, chat, and spaces on and off. You can set content types to the following settings:

  • On: Enables the content type in the top level community and allows spaces to enable or disable the content type.
  • Off: Disables the content type in both the top level community and in spaces.
  • Only in Spaces: Disables the content type in the top level community but allows spaces to enable the content type.

"Top level community" refers to the entirety of your intranet, in contrast to Spaces , which are sub-communities of the top level community. If a space is private, users who are not members of the space cannot view its content, whereas everyone in your intranet can view top level content. Top level content can be accessed through the Browse menu.

Feature Description
Articles Articles are formal written content that inform readers about a certain topic. Articles include information from research and interviews. Articles come from reliable news sources, and are generally longer than blogs.
Badges Badges are a way for users to be recognized for their contributions to the community. Some may be earned through specific actions in the intranet. Other badges can be awarded by users for actions that merit recognition.
Blogs Blog posts are written content that provide an opinion about a certain topic. Blog posts are less formal and typically shorter than articles.
Cases Cases are great for tracking just about anything, from customer support and help desk requests, to software bugs and project tasks. You can set up as many trackers as you like, because each space you create has one built right into its fabric.
Discussions Discussions are organized into a set of forums which users can post to. Users can post a discussion in a forum to discuss a specific topic. Users can like and reply to discussions and replies. Users can subscribe to forums as well as individual discussions. Replies to a discussion can be marked as the answer to the discussion.
Events The calendar helps you organize and keep track of events and personal activities. Track event RSVPs and stay on top of all your important activities. Features such as comments, event resources, and calendar sharing make event planning and coordination even easier.
Files Communifire's file management system is sophisticated and flexible. You can upload files to spaces as well as to the top level community, and organize them into folders. In spaces, you can decide the actions different types of users are allowed to perform on files. You can give files properties such as a title, description, and tags, and upload new versions of files. All the versions you upload are kept in the system, and you can revert to previous versions at any time.
Ideas Ideas are suggestions that users can post and vote on. Ideas have a title, description, category, and stage.
Photos You can upload photos to Communifire and organize them in photo albums. Users can download, like, rate, and comment on photos and albums.
Polls and Surveys Polls and surveys provide a way to take votes and opinions from space members.
Task Manager Tasks are to-do items relevant to a space. Tasks are separated into task lists and are assigned to specific users. Tasks have a priority and status and can have a due date and estimated completion time. You can sort tasks and move tasks to different task lists. Users can comment on and follow tasks.
Videos Sharing and watching videos in Communifire is convenient and easy. Share videos from your computer, from popular services like YouTube and Vimeo, or with an embed code. Features such as likes, comments, and ratings encourage engagement and interaction.
Wall Posts Wall posts appear on My Activity Stream — the central hub for all the latest updates in your spaces and from your connections.
Wiki Wikis are easily-accessed pages of useful content. Wiki pages can be organized into a hierarchy. Users can like, follow, and comment on wiki pages.
Chat Use chat to effectively communicate and collaborate with your colleagues and teams. Chat one-on-one with another person, or chat in a group of people. Exchange messages and files. Notifications ensure you never miss developments in your conversations. 

If chat is enabled, you can set whether users can chat with anyone or only their Connections .
