Creating a Community in Elentra

Overview

Communities in Elentra

Any user can set up a community to provide a space to share documents, online discussions, etc. It can be set up as protected and only accessed by authenticated users and can even be configured to require registration or not. A community would be most appropriate for a school committee, student work group, or social group. By default, it just has a home page, but users can add announcements, discussions, document sharing, etc.
