Registration
Please always provide your company email when registering! We need it to properly determine your community status (interested party/customer/partner). As a standard setting, your mail address is not openly displayed in the community unless you have modified your personal settings accordingly.
You can choose any login you like. This is the only user information that everyone (even a guest) can see. For this reason, you can make up a name if you wish to (which is neither possible nor necessary in the case of your email address).
Everyone’s registration goes through a manual approval process. It may take up to one or two business days before access is available.
Range of features
The FirstSpirit Community is much more than simply a forum or a blog. The community is a platform for sharing experiences and contributing ideas to improve FirstSpirit.
You should be familiar with the following concepts:
A) Spaces:
The community is broken down into various “sections”. Every section (e.g. the developer section) contains different content such as:
- Forums (for Q+A)
- Blogs (for e-Spirit information like tips and tricks, knowledge-base entries)
- Documents (like release notes)
- Polls (for surveying customers and partners)
- Profiles
- Public bookmarks, and lots more
You can access the entire content of a section via tabs. Every section has an “All content” tab that displays the newest content, making things easier to find.
B) The dashboard:
There are two tabs at the highest level, “All content” and “My view”. The latter is your personal community starting page and serves as a dashboard. On this dashboard, you can collect so-called widgets about topics that interest you.
These can be the latest blog postings, newest members, most recent polls, unanswered questions and so on. Feel free to create the view that is perfect for you. This way you will get maximum benefit from our content.
We look forward to having you take part in the FirstSpirit Community!
